"Great product."
4/5
What do you like best about Cube?

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.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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

We appreciate you leaving feedback for our team. We're glad to hear that you've enjoyed your overall experience with Cube so far and we've been able to help streamline processes to make reporting easier.

"Easy to implement, easy to use, great overall tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cube?

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.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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 for the win for FP&A"
5/5
What do you like best about Cube?

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.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cube - FP&A system administrator & user review"
4/5
What do you like best about Cube?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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.

"Great Tool with easy implementation and saves time on FP&A reporting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cube?

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.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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 similiar to an employee roster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cube offers flexibility to FP&A"
4/5
What do you like best about Cube?

We just went through implementation, which was fast without much toubleshotting 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 have 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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 - Ideal spreadsheet server for mid size companies"
5/5
What do you like best about Cube?

Cube is very user friendly, you do not require alot of training or technical knowledge to access Cube. Perfect tool for FP&A department of a mid size company as it enables you to drilldown 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 reteriving relevant data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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

Response from Preston Lam of Cube

Hey Guneet,

Our product team was delighted to read your review, our recent fetch speeds improvements, enhanced drilldowns and dashboards were created with you (our users) in mind. Fantastic to hear you've been finding them useful and impactful.

Looking forward to hear how else you'll be finding success with Cube!

"Time Saver for FP&A Work!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cube?

I love that you can connect so many different sources of data to cube. We have connected QBO, Google Sheets, and other data points to help us with FP&A work. Our month end close process of BvA is so much easier since we switched to Cube. It is nice that you can connect Cube to Excel or Google Sheets and pull in any data you need to a custom report. We heavily use Google Sheets and love that Cube works so well with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

There is a learning curve especially when it comes to understanding how the data is pulled into a Google Sheet from Cube. Also the custom reporting is a bit overwhelming at first because of all the possibilities but with time it becomes very easy and so helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cube - The Best FP&A Software out there"
5/5
What do you like best about Cube?

I honestly think the best thing about Cube Software is the people who work there. When we decided to go with Cube over a few different vendors, the real selling point was how accomodating the people are and how easy it was to integrate with our current systems. The entire process of implementing and learning Cube maybe took a month at most and we have been able to fly ever since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

At first I thought there could have been more features, but when I look at Cube today there are way more features. They constantly engage with the customer and provide a great experience by adding things that we request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to learn, use, and implement"
5/5
What do you like best about Cube?

Nice interface, intuitive use. It was probably the easiest FP&A tool to implement and learn for a team not accustomed to legacy FP&A applications. Like how it leverages excel to easily create and format P&L data without complex formulas and the drill down functionality to the transaction/journal enty data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

Large data sync for us daily takes about 1-1.5 hours. Would like that to get better over time. Also, limited to only 8 top level dimensions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
