"Data Rails Review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Datarails?

I like that it is intuitive, I understand how the data flows, and it speeds up our month end reporting and budgeting processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

There are some items that would be helpful if data rails could do

For example:

-Writing formulas in the data mapper: Why can't these be made to be consistent with excel formulas. It makes it hard to teach the whole team how to map in data when there are nuances like having two equal signs on an IF statement

- When using DR.GET formulas to pull data into workbooks, I wish there was the ability to exclude a certain field similar to the DR.Include parameter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Dashboarding with Connectivity Hiccups"
4/5
What do you like best about Datarails?

I like the dashboards, which help me see different financial statements quickly. The Excel add-in is also a feature I appreciate. Additionally, I find the connection to Claude really helpful, as it allows me to get numbers and projections out effectively. The setup process was pretty easy since we've had it set up before, so mapping and understanding the process was straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

We're having troubles with the cloud connection disconnecting every once in a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excel Integration That Makes Reporting and Dashboards Effortless"
5/5
What do you like best about Datarails?

The Excel integration is a big one for me it didn't force us to abandon the way we already work, it just made it better. Consolidating data from multiple sources used to eat up so much time, and now reporting feels a lot more manageable. The dashboards are also a nice touch when presenting to stakeholders. On top of that, the customer support has been amazing. Jodat in particular was fantastic incredibly patient and walked us through the entire process without making us feel rushed at any point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

Some of the widgets are a bit restrictive when it comes to formatting things like font size and style aren't always customizable the way you'd expect. The KPI widgets in particular can be frustrating to get looking consistent across a dashboard. It's not a dealbreaker, but for something client-facing or exec-level, those small visual details do matter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Financial Reporting and Enhanced Visibility"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Datarails?

I really appreciate the structure and logic built into the platform. In my opinion, this solution is excellent, especially considering that Netsuite is not the most user-friendly ERP when it comes to reporting. This tool has truly opened up new possibilities for visibility in reporting. What I like most is how easy it is to generate a Flash Report of the financials and how quickly we can dive into specific details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

There are a few technical issues I've encountered. For instance, with some reports, certain rules only apply if we download the files and refresh them in Excel, or sometimes they need to be recalculated directly on the platform. This can make the process more time-consuming, as it requires additional validations. I also find it frustrating when more than two people are working on the same Excel file—it becomes nearly impossible to manage, especially when refreshing or submitting files. Another thing I don't like is having to constantly download files from Datarails, which results in multiple copies of the same file. I realize this might partly be my own fault, but it's something that bothers me because it makes it hard to keep track of different versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chanel Itzhaki Ganor of Datarails

Thank you for the thoughtful review! It is great to hear that Datarails has opened up new reporting possibilities, especially coming from NetSuite, and that our automated reporting and drill-downs are making your day-to-day so much faster.

On the recalculation issue and multiple file copies, Datarails updates changes across connected files in real time and has version control built in. If you are experiencing inconsistencies, it may be worth checking whether files are being opened from saved desktop versions rather than downloaded directly from the platform. If that is not the case, your Customer Success Manager can help troubleshoot and share some pro tips on keeping reports organized.

We love the ambition to dive deeper into charts and custom reports. We're always adding new features and capabilities to our dashboards, which can really take your company reporting to the next level, so exciting times ahead! As always, please reach out if there is anything we can help with.
