Overall Satisfaction with Vena

Vena is being used by our accounting departments for budgeting and reporting needs. During the budget season, mill managers will use it to input their budget and the rest of the year accounting staff uses it for forecasting and for creating reports. Our current financial programs do not have a lot of report tools, so this has been very helpful to be able create/write useful tools.
  • Being able to create useful reporting tools.
  • Being able to restrict user permissions.
  • Ease of not having to learn a new program because everything is written in Excel.
  • To increase the speed of opening files, especially if using LIDS.

Do you think Vena delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Vena's feature set?

Yes

Did Vena live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Vena go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Vena again?

Yes

  • IT has freed IT resources time because IT requests have not been getting put in for as many reports from our financial system.
I have not been directly involved with the implementation process but I know that we did have a lot of help after the implementation period with questions and small issues that arose.
We have not completely implemented Vena to the full extent that we would like. Once we get the data model polished to how we want it to, we will easily be able to write reports for analysis.
If you have a financial system that does not provide useful reporting tools, Vena is very well suited. If you can get the financial data out of your system, you can write basically any report you would want using Vena.
