Overall Satisfaction with Vena

Currently Vena is only being used by our FP&A team and some accounting team members. We would love for other teams to start utilizing to enter their budgets and forecasting. This has been put on the back burner due to hiring capability in FP&A. We do use Vena reporting for a lot of external and internal reporting while also using for review and month end processing.

  • IT resources freed time as we are able to manage
  • financial processes done quickly
Yes, we are currently implementing our hr data into Vena. Vena has been super helpful to answer all questions and our rep has been following up to ensure we are happy with Vena completely.
Showing us our data in a different view has helped us make the right desicions.
Our data is too large for Power BI desktop and our ERP, D365, does not have an easy or clean way to get our budget entered.

Did implementation of Vena go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Vena again?

Vena is well suited when you are looking for specific data on a repeating basis, whether monthly/quarterly/daily. Reports can clearly, quickly, directly show the requested information. Vena is less appropriate when trying to sort by value as the mapping does not allow.
