"FinancialForce Accounting is better than Quickbooks!"
4/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

The audit trail in FFA is great compared to Quickbooks and the fact that FFA is built on top of the salesforce platform so we can integrate systems and use quantitative data in our qualitative reports has been a game changer. FFA is a lot quicker than QB too and more users can access it at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Permissions. I do not like that financial force doesn't allow for our budget owners to access specific reports without being able to build reports to see other segments of the business. Also not a fan of the fact that I can't discard journal entries in bulk that have not been posted yet. The FFR reports are not very user friendly and I am needing a better way to have non profit related reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very intuitive product-highly recommended"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

First of all, it's a downstream product of Salesforce, which makes it native to follow the workflow.

It's one of the best Cloud-based system I have used, compare with SAP, Oracle and other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

It can be intimidating for a new user-- especially if you have to configure it for your own purposes and workflow. You need to have a decent understanding of the SaaS and a solid system accounting background to handle it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool - but needs experience and dedicated knowledge to make is shine"
4/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Financial Force offers a comprehensive suite of cloud-based financial management tools that can streamline your business processes, improve your financial visibility, and help you make better decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Financial Force may be more suitable for businesses with more complex financial needs, which could result in a steeper learning curve for users who are unfamiliar with accounting or financial management concepts. Finally, while FinancialForce ERP Cloud does offer integrations with other business applications, these integrations may require additional configuration or development work, which could increase the overall cost and complexity of the solution.

"I would highly recommend FF ERP to a friend or colleague"
5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Quick and easy layout.

Financial Force Community is easy to find the answers that I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

So far, no dislike has been found yet.

Sometimes I have to pay past due invoice that has old invoice date.

During the APV generation process, if I input an old invoice date, the system would not match. And an error occurred due to a past pay period.

ex) Current pay period, November, and I input September for invoice date, the APV would not match. I had to input a current month date as an invoice date to match the invoice and generate PIN. After PIN was created, I had to go back to APV to change the invoice date to the original invoice date. Also, I had to change the PIN's invoice date too.

Sometimes, vendors send us past-due invoices that we have to pay immediately. I had to change the invoice dates back and forth between APV and PIN to pay with no errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Integration with Salesforce was our top priority"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Having our finances connected to our CRM is a huge benefit. We use Salesforce for both our Donor CRM and our participant CRM. Having all the data for both revenue and expenses in the same system makes for much easier communication across the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

FFA's Fixed Asset Management system is a joke. We had to pay developers to make it useful for our organization. We are a non-profit so our Fixed Assets are pretty basic.

So many functions specific to the Accounting process need salesforce admin access. Trying to explain accounting processes to a salesforce admin is cumbersome. For example, how would you explain in SFAdmin terms that you need a new NACHA file template? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
