Overall Satisfaction with Vena
Vena is used as a financial planning tool within the finance department. It is used as a tool to standardize report templates. Create input templates that are easy to distribute and consilidate and add workflows to them. In the end this standardization saves time in the budgetting and forecasting process
Pros
- Standardized reporting
- Flexibility in report creation
- Consolidation and roll up of figures
- Scenario planning
Cons
- Report performance, decreasing load times for large reports
- Increase visualisation options in reports
- AI or statistics driven forecasting
- Optimizing budgetting process
- Reducing time spent on financial forecasting process
- Automatic creation of journals resulting in additional time saved
Basic level support is decent, support for more complex topics can sometimes be lacking
Optimizing the budgetting and forecasting process is the main goal for Vena in our organization. This does not always effect business decision making
- Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis
Compared to Unit4 FP&A i have found Vena more user friendly in the development.
From a user perspective it is also great that Vena works as a plug in to excel. this keeps the user in an environment where they are familiar with and helps in the learning process
