Overall Satisfaction with Vena Solutions

I mainly use Vena for financial forecasting although within the company we also use it for standard budget reporting. Vena works for me because of its flexibility, I can set up a number of regular forecasting reports using templates, this then gives me the time to create more ad-hoc and in-depth reporting for both our own company and external clients that we deal with. The fact that I can do both these things on one platform has helped my workflow massively.
  • Template creation saves massive amounts of time.
  • Powerful tool for in-depth financial analysis.
  • The collation of third party data sources in one place provides much more insight.
  • Set-up and implementation was slow.
  • Some more powerful features will require help from the Support Team.
  • Improved forecasting workflow.
  • Automation of basic reports.
Vena is incredibly versatile, which is what makes it work so well. I use it for basic financial forecasting and for detailed demand-based models. The fact that I can do all this within the one system really speeds up the process, not to mention that it works with an Excel-based interface so it is familiar to use from the start.
