"Great FP&A software that has greatly improved our team efficiency"
What do you like best about Cube?

User friendly and helps with analysis at all levels of detail (from a consolidated P&L view or from detailed transaction level). We also really like the "Publish" feature which we use to create forecasts and compare to actuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

Due to the level of detail the software has, implementation can be time consuming. That being said, once set up, there's minimal ongoing maintenance required. There are also some nuances to using the software that are only discovered through trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely user-friendly for small teams"
What do you like best about Cube?

Our team has been using Cube for a little over two years and it was a sorely needed replacement to for Oracle PBCS. Since then, our company has gone through significant change, building new revenue streams & reorganizing. Cube provided us with the flexibility and usability that we needed to navigate change. We love the easy-to-use Dimension Manager and calculated fields.

One of our favorite things, is it's compatibility with Google Sheets. Our organization is primarily on GSuite, so this helped move our team away from excel based reporting and into GSheets which was compatible with the org.

Overall this has been a very positive transition for the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

Our favorite feature is also our biggest frustration. The Google Sheet add-in in extremely slow and occassionally times out with large queries. If you make a duplicate of a file, you will need to reselect your range to pull a query. It is slow and frustrating, but we are happy to have the connectivity.

No simultaneous loading (ie. two teammates cannot load at the same time). At this time, Cube is not an ideal prodcut for larger teams. It's works for a team of 3 but we occassionally run into issues when teammembers have to delay their loads while we wait for another to complete. I'm sure that this issue would only compound with added teammembers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cube has significantly improved our FP&A Process"
What do you like best about Cube?

Cube integrates seemlessly with Google Sheets which has made budgeting on both a product and account level much easier and much more collaborative because it doesn't require logging in to a different system and subsequent training. It has also significantly reduced the amount of time it takes to produce the financials which has allowed for futher development of new reporting templates. We also see so much value in connecting other data sources to Cube beyond on our financial data. The opportunities to replace more manual reporting processes are endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

I would like for there to be an easy way to view and fetch data into all Cube linked spreadsheets without having to login to each one individually, but this by no means should be a deterrent from using Cube. It is an excellent tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Agile excel based tool with very supportive team"
What do you like best about Cube?

Through the use of Cube, we have automated a significant number of manual processes. Data is accumulated, analyzed and reviewed more effectively, which saves the Finance team time and allows the sharing of information to business partners. When we've provided product feedback, the team has been quick to add it to the solution roadmap and address. I appreciate how Cube takes customer feedback and is continuously innovating on their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

I think the tool could have had a stronger day 1 integration with our accounting ERP. Although the day 1 look and feel left room for improvement, the Cube team addressed concerns and updated the product functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick set up and easy to use"
What do you like best about Cube?

Cube is based completely off of the excel platform and it works perfectly. There is a small, and I mean very small, learning curve for pulling data from the cloud into excel, and once that is done, if you can build it in excel it will work with Cube. Their CSM's have all been incredible to work with. Fast and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

I had two complaints with the Cube software and they recently fixed both of those issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for FP&A"
What do you like best about Cube?

- Cube will facilitate the process of extracting the data on an excel sheet or google sheet with less effort with a particular preference

- It is a good tool to build a financial model for frequent reporting of the financials by only one click

- The customization of the dimensions (Tags) to extract a set of data in a single line Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

- More improvement in the acceleration of extracting the data needs to be consider constantly with a growing volume of data

- More automation tools to be implemented for planning process support

- Enhancing the visualization of the data ( It's already there but needs some improvement in the customization process)

- More effort to be considered in different currencies reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive & Powerful - Helps support a scrappy FP&A team"
What do you like best about Cube?

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 refesh 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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.

"Great Financial Reporting Tool for Startups"
What do you like best about Cube?

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.

What do you dislike about Cube?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Preston Lam of Cube

Hey Anthony,

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. Great to hear that you've been up and running. The time savings you are seeing is music to my ears!

I have asked your Customer Success Manager to follow up about the data connection with Netsuite feedback, from our understanding the issue you've described should be resolved.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Preston,

"Great product."
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.

Response from Preston Lam of Cube

Hello,

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. Since you posted this anonymously, it's difficult to confirm with the team if things have been fully resolved for you. I am aware a fix is being deployed. Thank you for your patience here. We hope we'll be able to continue to build our relationship as a positive one.

If you have any additional questions or feedback please feel free to reach out to me directly at preston.lam@cubesoftware.com.
