Overall Satisfaction with Vena

We use Vena in our organization to help plan and forecast monthly revenue by project and related expenses. We use in finance as well as in our operations and practice areas to plan down to project categories for billings as well as hourly costs and utilizations.

Pros

  • Budget
  • Workflows
  • Reporting & Analysis
  • PowerBI Dashboards
  • Ease of Use with Excel

Cons

  • Out of box Reporting
  • Operational Planning
  • More Real-Time Financial Analysis
  • Better Budget Collaboration
  • Faster Forecasting & Month-End Reporting
We found Vena to be much more intuitive and easy to leverage with our existing models and templates we've built in Excel already. It allowed our finance and ops teams to get traction and value from the solution much faster than we felt the other CPM solutions we looked at.
