What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

As of now, we have to build our own financial statements in Excel by using a trial balance from FinancialForce. Some of the processes are time-consuming, such as running an updated aging report.Exporting large amounts of data from FinancialForce can take a long time to process.

"Customer-centric Cloud ERP"
4/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

It provides seamless integration with customer data within the Salesforce platform making it very useful for billing and related processes. As an ERP, it contains the appropriate controls needed to maintain financial data integrity of billing transactions which aids in handling customer disputes. The support team is prompt in addressing issues, and the product team is very collaborative when implementing new features and functionality. They actually listen to the feedback from their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Being on the Salesforce platform, it's processing throughput is throttled by Salesforce limits. FinancialForce needs to invest in a solid and scalable processing capacity to handle large volumes of transactions if they desire to enter the large enterprise market. The local expertise and capability in Australia are also quite limited, making in-house recruitment challenging and the option left with the client is to rely heavily on FinancialForce support team.

"FinancialForce Review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

It's very useful that FinancialFoce is built off the SalesForce platform, particularly for our customer invoicing and revenue recognition. We leverage billing central to invoice 5,000 customers a month, which is largely automated. Because revenue recognition is built off billing central, it's a very seamless process for us to recognize revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

There are several basic accounting features that are missing out of the box such as a live feed from banks and credit cards, bank reconciliation to the bank, and customer statement of account. There are no out-of-the-box usable financial statements. To create and to update financial statements requires a FinancialForce expert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stumbling Towards Growth"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Financialforce is a powerful way to integrate our entire small business (approximately 200 employees), ecommerce platforms, LMS, backend systems, Finances, Inventory, etc. There seems to be a useful tool for every possible business function. We were able to transition from Quickbooks to Financialforce within 6 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Managing this product is a huge undertaking. You will need a salesforce developer available if not on staff AFTER you have someone that knows the system onboard your company. In addition, your standard administrators will have to become defacto inventory controllers, accountants and so on as they learn the intricacies of each system, automate processes and put the guardrails up for your users.

Do not expect your power users or managers to move you through onboarding or maintain the system after the fact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FinancialForce is adaptable to the intricacies of the businesses' needs. Being a data-heavy business, FinancialForce allows us to store and report on large amounts of data. This data can then be turned into actionable insight using the many reporting add-ons available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Unlike an 'off the shelf' piece of finance software, FinancialForce requires more effort in the setup, management, and monitoring to get the most out of it. However, the time spent on this is earned back in automation and improved processes if done right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

The out of the box reports are not great. They take a bit of time to set up. Einstein reports are now significantly better. Line limits on journals are very frustrating, but you can work around it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good ERP that sits next to your CRM"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

The fact that FinancialForce sits right next to Salesforce CRM is extremely helpful in managing customer transactions and maintaining records. This closes the loop between the sales side and finance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

The excel plug-in needs some attention, this is the best way to manage large transactions and it hasn't been updated for a while. There is no payroll or HR offering. Not a deal-breaker but some of the processes seem to be designed without the user in mind and are a little cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
