Overall Satisfaction with Vena

Vena enables our finance and accounting team to quickly and accurately display data for our entire organization. Before Vena many reports would take entire days to compile, now with Vena, we have those reports made in seconds. Creating reports is simple and new reports to fit users' needs can be made easily. As our team learns more about Vena, we continue to find new use cases for our business. Viewing Vena reports is fairly user-friendly also. Even employees who are not extremely tech-savvy are still able to work with Vena and utilize Vena's reports.
  • Creating new reports easily
  • Displaying data that updates daily
  • Allowing data to be drilled down
  • Easier integration with PowerBi
  • Faster load times
  • Quicker ways to map multiple sheets

  • Tons of time saved per report
  • More detailed budgets are able to be made with time saved
  • Individuals have the latest data always
Vena leads us through implementing new data models every time a new one needs to be made for a newly acquired company. We have a Vena rep who helps us whenever we request help, this includes new projects, PowerBi integration, or whenever something is not working how it should be.
Now that users have the latest data instantly and that data is easily accessible, our team has been able to make adjustments to our business as soon as something happens. Before in order to make decisions, one would have to wait for the report to be made and sent out. Now there is no lag time between the report being made and the financial data happening.
I have personally not tried any other product like Vena.
Vena works really well displaying data and organizing it based on division, region, year, period, etc... Where Vena falls short is displaying data based on customers. Our company has so many customers that Vena cannot process sorting by customers and our customer field is completely crowded. Vena's drill-down is a great tool that allows for quick discovery of what the numbers on the reports actually mean, but they, unfortunately, cannot display individual invoices which require a separate search.
