The Chart of Accounts mapping was just what we needed for our merger. We were able to map the parent company charts in line with ours and to help streamline our reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The connectivity to our sales and reorder metrics were only flat connections. No additional tools helped us with the predictive or forecast elements. Nothing that would could not easily perform with our Claude connection. We did not end up using any of the FP&A elements with the datarails tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datarails offers a great way to cleanly show concise data that can be drilled down into. I love the drill downs to the lowest level. Once you're set up it's really easy to use. I also love how easy it is to work with Excel. The data in datarails can also be extracted into excel means it is as diverse as you like. This takes some tweaking to get right but once it's there it's a dream to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's clearly still a new system, a few of the widgets need work and there are some nuances you come across every so often that shows how young it is in development. However, they have been quick to rectify a lot of these so credit to the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciated most about DataRails was the combination of a capable platform and outstanding customer support. The integration between NetSuite and DataRails was seamless, allowing us to establish a reliable data flow with minimal effort. The platform has helped us centralize reporting, maintain version history, and build dashboards that improve visibility into our data.

Equally important was the support we received from Ethan D'Alessandro throughout the implementation process. I joined the project after implementation had already begun, which required me to quickly get up to speed. Ethan consistently demonstrated patience, taking the time to re-explain concepts whenever needed and adapting his approach as our requirements evolved. He was always willing to pivot when new requests arose and focused on building solutions that would continue to work effectively in the future rather than taking shortcuts. His responsiveness, professionalism, and forward-thinking approach were invaluable to our success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform has been very beneficial overall, there are a few areas where I believe the user experience could be improved. Dashboard creation is one of my favorite features, but I would like to see a broader selection of visualization and charting options in the future.

I also found that the process of bridging and connecting data to the tables used for dashboard reporting can be challenging and is not always intuitive. This may be partially due to the complexity of our reporting needs, but there were times when the setup process felt less user-friendly than expected. The platform has a moderate learning curve, and newer users may require some time and guidance before they become fully comfortable navigating and utilizing all of its capabilities.

It saves me and the team a lot of time when you can post journals and refresh TBs, Transaction Listings instantly rather than having to run reports manually within the system which is vital around busy times like month end. We also have the connections integrated into our workbooks to help improve processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't say I have found anything which is dislike in Datarails yet as I have been able to create reports or have them created for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve really liked the dashboards created for our executives—they’re clear, well put together, and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn’t say I dislike it; it’s just that DR sometimes has limitations when we’re creating dashboards. In those cases, we have to reach out to them so DR can review what we need and help us build it if the option isn’t available. That back-and-forth can delay the process.

I like the seamless use in practice, I was not heavily involved in the integration of the software however I am a heavy user of the software, and it is seamless and faultless, it takes care of everything for you, it's integrated with some of our outdated software and has sped up reporting by 4-5 Days, the software is easy to use and the UI is easy to understand,, and there are resources available to allow for further guidance, I was not involved in the pricing discussion however whatever was paid it has made my work life easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

data rails requires some set up to get it working, and if it is not set up correctly then it will not work for you, however when set up it works seamlessly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the visuals and graphics of Datarails, which are very quick and provide at-a-glance insights into where we need to focus on our business. The way the information is laid out makes it easy to quickly look at trends and analysis and pinpoint focus areas. It's a lot easier to use these graphs compared to Excel, as it's pretty much a one-time setup once the information is loaded and the dashboards and widgets are created. This makes it much easier to use and a no-brainer for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some very specific issues with setting up widgets that make it a bit difficult. For example, the ability to suppress zeros and freeze panes, some very basic formatting things that Datarails isn't handling well at the moment. It's been a bit of a headache, but we've managed to find workarounds. These little idiosyncrasies should ideally be looked at for improvement. We've already informed our contact at Datarails, and hopefully, the team will address these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps to streamline monthly reporting and forecasting and allows us to dig deeper and provide more visibility into the data when needed. The implementation timeline was quick, enabling us to complete the budget faster and more accurately than in previous years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that Datarails functionality could use some improvement in the user interface (both excel functionality and dashboards/storyboards). Troubleshooting can be time-consuming and the online support resources available are not very helpful, however, when reaching out to customer support they are always helpful. The quick implementation timeline left insufficient time to learn the system well, making it difficult to troubleshoot and understand the mapping and intricacies at first. It took me about six months to feel comfortable as an admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to pull from multiple data sources, integrate with QBO, and keep all my files in one place in the cloud so I can access information anytime. The dashboards are helpful as well, especially when I’m closing month-end and working on reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes wish there were alternative UI options and features that are less Excel-based, so my non-finance colleagues can contribute more meaningfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of creating Dashboards and widgets from scratch. Data is pulled directly from QuickBooks Online and updates immediately after syncing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue I experienced was the "breaking" of the formulas in my worksheets. I always used the same master workbook and sometimes it would not refresh correctly even though I made no changes to the formulas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
