Overall Satisfaction with Vena

Vena is used by our Finance and Accounting team for budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis. The goal is to eventually provide Vena access to other departments so they can submit their own budgets. I am very new to the company and to Vena. I started in March of 2022 and have only been through training.
  • Easy to use.
  • Ensures latest version of a spreadsheet is the current version.
  • Great for variance analysis.
  • Some trainers are hard to understand.
  • Closed captioning should be included in all training modules.
  • I have only done Vena training, so I can't speak to live usage.

Do you think Vena delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Vena again?

Yes

  • Makes budgeting easier.
  • Makes forecasting easier.
I was not a part of this company when they bought and implemented Vena. I can say the Vena rep has been very helpful since I came on board.
Vena appears to be well suited for budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis. Since I am still in training, I have not used Vena in live production for the company I work for.
