Overall Satisfaction with Cube Planning

Cube allows me to budget, forecast, and report against multiple dimensions in a way that is easy yet flexible. The problem I have using just excel is that gathering and normalizing the data can take a lot of complex formulas before I even get to reporting or budgeting/forecasting. Cube takes the data aggregation out of my models and puts it into a system, by doing this I can create simple reports on any intersection of the data. When forecasting and budgeting I can plan different lines of the P&L differently, upload them at the appropriate level of detail and then consistently report on them or use them as drivers for other lines.

Would you buy Cube again?

Yes

Cube is well suited for all budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial reporting. Cube does a phenomenal job at consolidating multiple data sources and creating a single source of truth for all the mentioned scenarios.

Cube itself is probably not well suited for a front-end interactive dashboarding tool, however it is a great place to consolidate the data for that purpose and then use it in a tool like Power BI.
