Overall Satisfaction with Vena Solutions

There are various uses for Vena as well as financial analysis for the month-end mainly, we can establish advanced and detailed budget criteria. In addition, the data visualizations are very light and detailed, resulting in good access to financial data information, budgets, analysis, and we managed to complement and adapt solid strategies with our ERP system and its connection with Vena Solutions. We have only had a few delays in understanding all the features because not all users are EXCEL experts.
  • Optimal connection with our ERP system.
  • We perform detailed month-end analyzes to optimize our budget requirements.
  • Good data spectrum to model and map in Excel.
  • It is overwhelming for inexperienced users.
  • It takes a while to load the templates.
  • It can improve much more, but they are not serious problems that cannot be solved with a little training to all users.
  • Integramos nuestro ERP con Vena Solutions y con esto hemos logrado un buen ROI.
  • Mappings with Excel allow good development and optimal results.
  • Financial closings have improved with Vena Solutions.
I can recommend it because it can connect very well with our ERP system and this is a great advantage. In addition, Vena Solutions allows us to optimize our entire financial and budget system, which generates a positive ROI after the first few months using it. It is true that it is complex for many users, but this problem is solved simply with training, so I do not consider that the difficulty of using it is a serious problem.

Cuenta con cierres de mes detallados y con buena y amplia información que nos permite desarrollar e innovar otras áreas de trabajo. Tengo el deber de informar que el soporte de Vena Solutions cumple con nuestros más altos estándares. Puedo comunicarme rápidamente con sus expertos si alguna función de Vena me resulta difícil. Esto es algo que realmente aprecio y creo que lo convierte en un producto maravilloso. Hay más virtudes que fracasos.
It is a product that is well integrated and very easy to use for my entire team. Vena Solutions is really easy to use and no help from technical support is necessary because the functions are very simple. Vena Solutions does not require technical experience to be able to use it fluently.

Evaluating Vena Solutions and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
Vena Solutiosn simplifies data visualization by 100% automatically without having to show data with errors or show it in complex formats, it is a necessary product for data statistics and with an integration that I think is perfect and without a complex manual system outdated. In addition, we decided to buy Vena Solutions thanks to the good price and because we saved time with the very attentive technical support.
Our Vena Solutions evaluation and selection process was completed after some important steps such as the selection of a solid service of tools to improve the statistics, a reasonable price and having technical support throughout the implementation and use process. I think this evaluation and selection process was very appropriate and perfect, it makes me think every day and I really don't want to change anything in our past.

Vena Solutions Reliability

Vena Solutions can be implemented in all the departments that we need, we would honestly carry out the implementation with immediate help from technical support because they give us confidence and know what is the best strategy to implement it and we know that with the technical support team we would save more than Half of the time. Vena Solutions can only be scalable if we are experts or requesting help, I think it is better with technical help.
There are no times when I feel unprotected, I can always ask for help from Vena Solutions. Mistakes are unlikely to occur, but if they do occur at some point I have great faith that they will be available to help me.
Vena Solutions pages load quickly and only a few times does it get a bit slow, only when there are many integrations and the reports are long. But in general it is always fast and honestly I am very satisfied with the speed in the generation of statistical reports and the pages.
