What do users say about Aleph?

I find Aleph very intuitive and easy to use. It required almost no onboarding and training, which is fantastic. Aleph is able to pull data quickly, which helps me dig deeper into financial information from NetSuite. I like that it allows me to create multiple views of my financial data that are readily shareable with management stakeholders. There are multiple ways to pull or share data, so I don't need to adjust my workflows for Aleph. The ability to use Aleph natively in Excel is very helpful, as it lets me run complicated analyses on my data that can't be replicated on a web platform. The initial setup was very easy, with seamless integration that took less than an hour, and the Aleph team supported our custom fields in NetSuite efficiently.

Not much, the platform does what it advertises very well. The platform is not meant to be a full FP&A software suite, but instead enable you to do your forecasting in Excel and not change your processes. Thus, you could say it lacks some complex forecasting features, but this is not really the intention of the platform. You should not buy Aleph if you want full forecasting features.

The flexibility of spreadsheets makes the learning curve very manageable overall. Integrations are fast and hassle-free as well, especially when connecting with AI tools. I also appreciate the pace of feature rollouts and how quickly new capabilities are introduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some downsides are the ecosystem limitations; for example, the level of granularity you might want to achieve with spreadsheets can be limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great functionality within excel. Claude Connector. Very useful AI assistant to intuitively write code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dashboarding functionality could be more robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the Excel add-in is very powerful, especially the Connect and Explore functions. The Explore function allows me to pull data from Netsuite directly into Excel without having to wait a long time with each download because Aleph refreshes its Netsuite pulls overnight. I like being able to cut data from Aleph in different ways with different filters, and I believe the AI chatbot would be very useful for companies with clean data. It can help speed up P&L commentary when data is clean. Aleph has centralized expense data and budget data, making it faster for us to update reporting and budgets.

Can sometimes be slow when updating large datasets / multiple large pulls, or when manually refreshing Netsuite data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fantastic ability to connect multiple tools, such as Databricks, NetSuite, Sheets, and Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes time to learn the system and get all the data integrated, especially if the full team isn’t behind the concept. That said, the support staff is very helpful and does a great job guiding you or setting you up through the onboarding process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aleph has become a central part of how our finance team operates, and the integrations are a big reason why. Connecting it to NetSuite, HiBob, and Ashby means our financial data, headcount, and hiring pipeline all flow into one place automatically — no more chasing down numbers from three different systems or manually reconciling spreadsheets. Actuals from NetSuite sync in real time, people costs and headcount data from HiBob feed directly into our models, and Ashby keeps our hiring plan and future payroll projections grounded in live recruitment data. The UI is refreshingly easy to use — the spreadsheet-native experience means the team adopted it quickly without any real learning curve, and navigating the platform day-to-day just feels intuitive. On the support side, our CSM Michael has been brilliant — always responsive, genuinely proactive, and consistently going above and beyond to make sure we're getting the most out of the platform. It's the kind of partnership that makes a real difference, especially during onboarding. We're also just starting to explore Aleph's AI features and are excited to see how they can further streamline our variance analysis and reporting workflows. For any finance team running a similar stack, Aleph ties it all together in a way that's fast to set up and genuinely changes how you work day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I have with Aleph is it can be a touch slow with Google sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Aleph for forecasting, budgeting, and BvA analysis. I appreciate that it automatically pulls all actuals from our ERP Sage Intacct, which saves me time from manually doing pulls and comparing to our budget. It combines our budget with actuals easily, making forecasting quick and easy to update. I really like having a dedicated account manager (Michael Kang- the best!) available via Teams for all my questions and helping us set up our reports. The initial setup of Aleph was very fast and simple, which made it easy for us to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AI is a bit behind times, and it is somewhat complicated to learn the software. I wish there was more formal online training to walk through. AI analysis needs to be more in depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to handle and use, and it takes very little time. Anyone can learn it within a day and start using it right away. It’s a great fit for startups and scaling companies that want a smaller, intelligent tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe I would still say, we are yet to explore all the best of it. It would be the loading and locking a data for retrievals (multiple/large databases might be a challenge for now) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Time to value: We were live and able to answer BOD questions with confidence within two weeks.

Adaptability: We’ve been able to leverage Aleph in a lot of ways to meet the needs and asks of the business, and we’ve also been able to pivot quickly when we need to think about the business differently.

Customer Success: They’re always available to meet within 24 hours to help ideate or solve complex situations. They truly feel like a partner and an extension of our FP&A team.

Scalability: Being in tech, the business is in high growth through both organic and inorganic methods. Aleph has handled both with ease, which gives us long-term stability in our financial reporting function.

Solves for disparate systems: With the integration and the ability to load manual data into the platform and map it into BvA tables, we can look at financial data coming from seven different accounting systems in a uniform way. This speeds up reporting, forecasting, and insights into business performance.

Drill-down functionality: We can see underlying data in seconds without leaving the file we’re in, which saves time when putting together flux commentary.

AI capabilities: The ability to have Aleph take a first pass at P&L commentary is huge. In addition, being able to dictate how it looks at the data upfront makes it even more scalable (department first vs. GL, or vendor first, then department, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some complexity in the setup for consolidating data tables that I don't necessarily understand (although I have not tried). This is easily solved with support from their Customer Success org or if I had a more technical mind on my team, they'd likely easily navigate this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aleph has been a great addition to our FP&A toolkit. The Excel integration is especially intuitive—most of the functionality feels natural right away, and it requires very little training to get up and running. That ease of use has made adoption across the team very smooth.

One of Aleph’s biggest strengths is its flexibility. It’s highly customizable and can be adapted to fit a wide range of workflows and business needs, rather than forcing you into a rigid structure. That’s been a big advantage as our processes continue to evolve. I especially love using the Aleph formulas in Excel. Instead of having to use a cookie cutter template or a system generated report, I can set up my files however I want. This not only made creating new reports simple but also allowed us to leverage existing reports as well.

The other Excel feature that I'm a huge fan of is the drill down function. This has allowed me to quickly drill down by the dimension of my choice. For example, if consulting expenses are high, I can drill down by department to figure out which one is driving the variance.

Another game changer has been the Aleph charts/dashboards. Not only can you set up charts to be easily refreshed each month, but these can be inserted directly into your reporting deck through the Aleph Powerpoint plug-in. To refresh each month, all we have to do is update the month filter in the dashboard that is connected to all the charts, then click 'refresh all charts' in Powerpoint. Huge time saver versus having to re-insert charts each month.

Performance-wise, the speed and reliability have been excellent. We’re able to work with data quickly and confidently without worrying about lag or system issues.

The price point is excellent for this product. Especially since the implementation time is so quick and you have a dedicated person on your account.

Another standout aspect is the support. Having a dedicated point of contact who I can work with directly when questions or issues come up has made a huge difference. It’s responsive, personal, and genuinely helpful.

Overall, Aleph strikes a strong balance between usability, flexibility, and performance, backed by a high level of support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Table customization features within the dashboards tool are somewhat limited. However, the individual assigned to our account has been incredibly helpful and has been working with the engineers to get the additional features we are looking for added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
