Overall Satisfaction with Vena

Vena is being a crucial tool while it helps in our financial planning and reporting processes. While coming from the spreadsheet based heavy work biggest benefit for me was to have that it blends well with the power of excel with the cloud based platform

Pros

  • It helps our finance team with building the customised workflows for budgeting and planning out for forecasting

Cons

  • While we have rolled out our Vena the first building of the model was quite a difficult for us and the configuration of the template was time consuming. It would be great if some tutorials and training’s with documentations to be provided in details
  • Our budgeting process took 4–6 weeks end-to-end, with constant back-and-forth via Excel files, manual consolidation, and version confusion now using Vena helped us in getting it reduced by 40%
It was good experience while the vendor had supported with all of the process from starting till deployment with further scope of growth in training modules
Running a what-if scenario.,What happens if revenue drops by 8% in Q4?”) meant creating separate spreadsheets, pulling data from multiple sources, and manually rolling up numbers. This often took days—and decisions had to wait.
After using the solutions it’s been almost a seemless experience resulting in Faster alignment on strategy shifts during volatile periods
