Overall Satisfaction with Vena
Vena is used by every department in our budget planning and reporting cycles. It is also used for Financial Reporting (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, etc.). We have most recently added a Revenue Forecasting cube to our mix, and have had a very easy time getting both of our models talking to each other so that we can easily serve up the proper story to our end users.
- Users enjoy a familiar interface for accessing reporting and budget planning: Excel
- Integrations, ETL, and mappings are very intuitive and the UX is stellar
- No additional cost for adding data cubes/models
- Very flexible, customizable, and scalable
- Filtering is very simple, and they allow you to import line level information so that drill-downs and cascades are simple to do
- It has a native integration to PowerBI which is amazing to get your data visualization up and running in no time
- Native Analytics
- Expanded ETL Functions
- More industry-specific tailored solutions and templates

They do a quarterly check-in with us to ensure that we have all the tools we need to stay and remain successful on their platform. The initial implementation was done in under a week and the trainers were some of the best I've ever dealt with when it comes to an external vendor. Hats off across the board for their stellar onboarding and customer success experience!
It is just a more flexible tool and offers a lot more than what we had going on with our previous situation. They improved the situation tenfold and allowed us to automate most of the tedious bits of our budgeting cycle, so we are left happy campers over here!
