Lots to choose from but one of the huge draws is that it acts as an extension of programs you're already familiar with, Excel and Sheets. There's no programming language to learn, no complicated portals to work within. If you don't know BI, you don't need to learn it. You can "Cube-ify" your existing spreadsheets, or build from the ground up. The functionality is similar to the way pivot tables work, so it's intuitive to learn and use.

& of course it's powerful. QBO doesn't have a robust or flexible budget capability, and filling that gap is what led me to Cube. I'm able to fully house budget and forecast scenarios, run reports and analytics, all within Cube. It's easy to shift a couple parameters, hit update, and refresh your report in the same place to run different scenarios. I tend to use it more frequently than the accounting software's built-in reports, and now I've extended its capabilities beyond just budgets and into revenue and payroll.

Huge shout out to the support team as well. I always have a dedicated rep at hand for help (what's up Riley!); the support articles are genuinely useful, which is refreshing for finance software; & they're always looking for product feedback to help adapt the roadmap to what's actually needed.

The only flaw that I find is something they've communicated that they're constantly working to improve, which is speed to load or fetch data. It can be time consuming to update and process a bunch of different reports. However, some important caveats: some of the lag is due to the way our company structure is set up; I have been able to re-design/architect my reports/sheets with speed in mind & to make things more efficient, and that's gone a long way; Cube has already improved the speed of fetching noticeably since I first got setup. I expect it will only continue to improve until it's no longer even noticeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cube is quite fast to get up and running and offers a lot of flexibility with aggregating multiple data sources thanks to integrations with Excel and Google Sheets. Allows for easy template creation to streamline routine financial reporting. Customer support is usually quite responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We could never get an automatic data connection with NetSuite working, so it is always a manual upload process each month. Missing certain features like a headcount planning module or robust forecasting capabilities in order to be an effective end-to-end FP&A platform for larger companies at scale.

It really is a very useful product at it's core. Cube's excel and Netsuite integration makes month-end close reporting soooo much easier and has really helped to streamline a lot of our processes. The software allows you to import/play with different and granular cuts of data very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to see more Vendor level reporting capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cube is incredibly quick to implement and very easy to get familiar with the system. The biggest selling point was our ability to create custom reports on the fly in seconds. Also, I wanted a software that I could use entirely in excel instead of google sheets or web based. It is seamless to "cubify" your existing models and budgets to upload to Cube. There are continuous product updates that the Cube team rolls out to improve the system. The Cube support team are always quick to respond with any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the biggest upside was having an excel based system, it would be nice if there is a way for non finance users to pull budget to actuals in the cube online dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cube is overall very easy to use and feels so familiar with Excel as the base. I like the addition of the dashboards and hope to continue to develop that portion of Cube. I like that it is intuitive for the most part. I have also experienced great support from our dedicated account rep, actually, that is probably the #1 thing I like. He is great and always helps us solve any issue quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation was rough and not as easy as I would have liked, but after that, we are very happy. Nothing other than having the time to fully utilize it. I hope the next year will provide more time to do so. I do think the continued enhancements are helpful and each one has contained something that we can use.

Lots of great things to share about Cube! Firstly, the implementation support has been excellent - extremely helpful and knowledgeable technical advisors who have had a solution to every complex request we have had. Secondly, the ability to overlay Cube into our existing Excel forecasting models and management reporting has made it exactly the right tool for our business. Finally, the data integration capabilities are powerful and easy to use - it is most robust data integration between an FP&A system and ERP for actuals that I have ever been a part of.

Currently there is a lack of flexibility in the reporting in Excel. Retrieving data to produce reports is quick & accurate, but takes a lot of formatting to be presentable, especially to users outside of Finance. For example, when retrieve data, it shows all parents and children in the same column rather having the option to present these in a tabular format, unlike an Excel PivotTable. I haven't yet used the dashboard functionality in the Cube web portal which I expect would improve this, but given our wider business is reliant on excel, improvements to the reporting out of the Cube Excel add-on would be helpful.

Have been utilizing CUBE for over two years and it's a great tool for FP&A in small to mid-size startups. Easy integration and connector establishment between different financial softwares. Support team is super helpful and conduct regular check-ins with us to ensure we're aware of new features added. CUBE helps save time on manual download and upload of datasets and allow internal stakeholders to drilldown into their expenses whenever they need to.

The setup of the dimensions are clear and not overly complicated; and personally love the feature of tags and formulas! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hoping to see a more complete/robust headcount planning feature/ from CUBE soon where every employee can be added into the system and create something similar to an employee roster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We just went through implementation, which was fast without much troubleshooting at all. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Our group is still learning and building out templates and use-cases internally, but we have already been getting value by getting to the data transactions details much faster than before. We are excited to build in the dashboard feature as well. The Excel native platform allows for the learning curve to be quicker than some other competitor products.

I think there are some features that could be added that would be "quick wins" for Cube, possibly in the workforce planning upload (allow admins to do certain things versus call Support). The team though is receptive to the feedback, and we get a sense they are continuing to have design and process flow improvements all the time that will reach the end user quickly.

Cube is very user friendly, you do not require a lot of training or technical knowledge to access Cube. Perfect tool for FP&A department of a mid size company as it enables you to drill down to the leaf level information while maintaining the high level information the executive team is interested in viewing. Most impressive aspect of Cube is that it allows you to fetch huge amounts of data within seconds and the recent enhancements Cube implemented like 'remove 0 rows from results' is a major plus in retrieving relevant data.

The only shortcoming I can think of is that it is limited to 8 top line Dimensions. Although you can bring in as many attributes of data as you want, I would really like Cube to increase top line dimensions to 10. Also, the ability for cross-level interaction within multiple cubes would be a major plus once implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
