Overall Satisfaction with Vena

We are using Vena as a budgeting/forecasting tool as well as financial reporting for our company. The organization as a whole is using the software. This system replaced a very antiquated software that was not user friendly.
  • Ease of use, very intuitive
  • Dynamic and flexible for the various business needs
  • Drill features allow total visibility from a roll up down to a ledger transaction.
  • HR module is not as seamless as the financial side
  • System processes can be limiting at times
  • Developers can be slow to react to an issue

Would you buy Vena again?

Yes

  • Reporting efficiency
  • Management research time
  • Budget / Forecast process time cut in half
We have a very engaged rep - Lily who is great. She steps up to the plate for the good, bad or indifferent.
Better information, more timely with a larger distribution
Budgeting and forecasting - I have used a lot of budgeting tools, but Vena stands out as a solid tool for our organization and myself. It has seamless reporting, real time updates, total visibility and can be managed very well centrally.

Subledger detail from a sub system is best suited to be researched on that platform. Vena can give you the end product or even some detail in the middle. However, true lower-level detail is suited for your other systems.
