Overall Satisfaction with Vena

Vena was started as a financial planning tool being used by finance but it has since began to be noticed by other departments and will soon be adapted for company-wide usage. Vena allows our business to collect multiple sources of data into one centralized location, this allows the business to be more efficient - saving us time and ultimately money. It also allows us to display KPI's and provide dashboards across the organization for instant gratification for managers and execs alike.

Pros

  • Data centralization
  • Time Saver
  • Dashboards and KPIs
  • Budgeting and Forecasting
  • Workflows

Cons

  • A little heavy in setup time BUT better to have it setup correctly the first time!

Did implementation of Vena go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Vena again?

Yes

  • The time savings has been second to none
Vena is perfect for organizations both large and small! The budgeting/forecasting process is second to none. If you love Excel - you will LOVE Vena. Vena is built on basis of Excel but addresses all the limitations that Excel provides.

Don't expect to plug and play with this product. There is a need for some personalization depending on your business. All things considered the implementation process is still very quick.
