We used Vena as a powerful tool to share and facilitate financial statements across the entire company. From sharing balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow, and devising templates in order to pull in budget information across the organization's departments, Vena has made it easy to organize the flow of information contribution from our entire organization.
  • Organize Budget Input.
  • Make financials accessible to users.
  • Data permissions make read restrictions scoped.
  • Vena experts are also financial experts.
  • The knowledge base is easy to use and understand.
  • It's is not easy to get an agent for immediate help.
  • adding licenses should be on the website.
  • Available lectures should be more apparent.

  • Relief of IT management.
  • Save time by relying on Vena to share financial statements.
Vena experts have continued to support the organization with their guidance and assistance in the development of financial statements. Their role was crucial in developing the initial data cube that would be used to map the dimensions of all the data that would be imported to Vena to transform into financial reports. After this crucial step, Vena experts have still been available to further assist in new developments.
Vena has enabled our organization to use financial data to be more agile and efficient through its ability to control data read and write access to specific users. By limiting users to reading and writing only certain data, users are not distracted massive financial information that may not be relevant to them. Thus, making they're experiencing less overwhelming and easier to understand a financial document easier.
The experience between Vena and Microsoft Power BI is quite different. Vena masters in operating through designed templates that need to be downloaded and viewed. As far as Microsoft Power BI is more dashboard oriented in its presentation. Both have their advantages in their designs, but Vena stands out in its ability to have user contributions to the data.
The most powerful feature of Vena is the ability to set Data Permissions to restrict the access of specific levels of users in a large organization. In a large organization, there are multiple departments, a large sales force, and different types of executives. It is not necessary for each group to gain full access to see all the organization's financial information. Vena does a great job in setting up users through data permissions and task binding so that users only need to see and work with what is appropriate for each user.
