"Implementation of Financial Force Billing in Telco Industry"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

The delivered software was of really high quality. The issues that we were raising to the support were rather connected with corner cases than with core functionality. Documentation accessible for everybody of the solution is also quite complete. I liked also the collaboration with Customer Success Manager, any challange that we fased was quickly solved and supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Functionality covered is for max medium size enterprises. For global companies, coverage of functionalities should be improved if FF wants to target this market. We had to make a lot of custom code to have full coverage of taxes or multicurrency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automation Euphoria!"
5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Automation and a side of agility, yes, please! FinancialForce, Billing Central, in particular, saves our staff so much time. We set up contracts one time, and watch them bill month after month without any intervention. We have also really benefited from billing consumption-based items as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Our instance is highly custom. It works very well for our use case, but it also means we work extremely close with a FinancialForce consultant to do even the 'small things.' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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.

"A single way or working"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

FinancialForce Accounting ("FFA") has been integral to INTO Finance's transition from 20+ local finance teams towards shared service hubs in the US, Europe and Asia. Having been developed on the same cloud platform as Salesforce, integration with CRM requires no effort. In fact, our users are mostly completely unaware as they move back and forth between CRM and Finance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

From time to time we have bespoke requirements that can take a little longer to build and deploy than we would like - as much due to FF's excellent professional services team being in high demand as anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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 - A useful tool for a modern finance team"
4/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

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.
