Overall Satisfaction with Vena Solutions

Vena is used within the company to satisfy a number of needs. For me, it is used to run regular financial forecasting models for external clients that we manage. Often a client will request a report and with Vena we are able to easily run these reports on short notice and share them effectively. It has also been effective for our own financial planning as we can import multiple data sources into one easy Excel-based platform. Allowing colleagues at every level of experience to handle different types of data.
  • Familiar Excel platform.
  • Easy sharing of reports with other users.
  • Compatibility with multiple third party data sources.
  • Import of data from external sources can be slow initially.
  • VBA experience required for more advanced use.
  • Time saved using templates.
  • Allows colleagues with less experience to take ownership of reports.
Vena is great for setting up regular report templates, this saves time and allows us to forecast much more often and at the request of our clients. The time the templates has saved has allowed our team more time to build out more complex forecasting models, which Vena has also handled with no issues.
