Vena made budgeting very efficient. Budget changes can be viewed in reports right away. Allocations are done instantaneously. Updating baseline and versioning are done very quickly. Saving Vena report to a local drive is not very straightforward and unprotect password each time is a pain point. Also, HR template can be redesigned differently. It is currently very complicated.
