Intuitive Interface: Causal boasts an intuitive interface that simplifies the process of creating financial models, making it accessible to every user. Documentation: the well-structured documentation makes it easy to understand features, functions etc. Responsive Customer Support: customer support team is being responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? Limited Advanced Features: For advanced users seeking highly specialized or complex modeling capabilities, Causal may fall short in comparison to more advanced software. Wizard should encompass the entire three-statement model for Xero (BS, PL, CF) and include the consolidation piece. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? Traditional planning and scenario exploration can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Causal streamlines this process, enabling me to quickly prototype and test different scenarios.

Causal has built a financial modeling platform with the power and functionality of Excel and the reliability and integrity of an ERP. The ability to share views into the model and allow 3rd parties to change variables for forecasting scenarios is hugely powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? The Causal platform has amazing functionality and has the ability to model very complicated scenarios. There are many templates and tutorials to help you put together a methodology that works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? Building powerful financial models with structural integrity, easy data integration, and powerful scenario planning. Excel models take a lot of time to maintain and update. Having integration with the accounting ERPs and other key financial data saves a ton of time providing the BvA analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how easy it is to carry work forward without having to do manual entry, and scenarios make it very easy to play with the model without breaking it. The wiki is also very helpful for getting started on it The onboarding process was pretty easy and the team offered support throughout Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? I struggle to remember some of the formulas, etc but usually solved via the wiki. People who are Excel diehards are difficult to persuade over to it.

Causal is a game changer for our finance function. Our finance team has been able to demistify a lot of our numbers and effectively communicate decisions to the rest of the organization. I'm now able to back hiring and other decisions with real numbers and fully understand them despite not being on the finance team and not being deep in spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? Nothing yet!

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/18/2023 "Goodbye Google Sheets" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? There's so much easy-to-use functionality to make our monthly reporting process easier. Pulling data from multiple live-updating systems is incredibly easy, and having this data live-update the same platform as where our execs are consuming information from is really powerful and saves us countless hours of data wrangling. The support team is also extremely helpful and quick to respond. We won't be going back to Google Sheets! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? As a user with a non-financial background, there is a bit of a learning curve to get up-to-speed with all of the functionality on offer in Causal. It's extremely powerful which can be a bit overwhelming, and I'm not sure I'll ever get to use it to the fullest potential (mostly due to my own lack of knowledge). That said, the Causal team have built out comprehesive and helpful documenation, and their support team is very responsive and willing to work through problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? We've replaced our entire manual process for producing monthly management accounts with Causal. Rather than sharing clunky and formula-heavy Google Sheets, our exec team now access all our financial information they need in a single platform that live-updates. We're now in a place where we can start building out our financial models for business planinng purposes alongside up-to-date information being pulled from a variety of different sources. We couldn't be happier with Causal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/17/2023 "Great Product, Fantastic Support" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? One of the best things about Causal is the ability to connect to all of your different systems (Salesforce, Netsuite, ADP, etc.). This allows us to do analysis that we could never have done in the past. Beyond that, their support is unparalleled. I have never had more individualized attention, and it is extremely refreshing. They are very customer focused, and I feel like I am really being heard and helped. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for new FP&A software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? Causal is constantly being updated on the backend (from their own pipeline as well as from customer comments). So the only thing to dislike is that it is not already completely perfect, but that is also actually a benefit because they are building it up at all times! I have had a few comments to them that were implemented in less than an hour... amazing! Never seen this flexability with any other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? One thing that Causal really solves for us is transparency and visability. Now that we can access data across many of our systems, we can use that data across different departments for analysis and forecasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

President Management Consulting Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/25/2023 "Causal is great!" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Having implemented and used many CPM tools, I find Causal refreshing to use and is more intuitive to use than other applications. Even though it doesn't use Excel as a framework, it is still very Excel-like in terms of approachability and continues to grow its functionality to offer many of the things finance and FP&A folks need to prepare their financial plans and scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? As mentioned before, the downsides of Causal are its newness in this application space so some functionality is not available (although enhancements may be on the product road map). As the application matures to be more of an enterprise tool, cross functional security will be an important consideration for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
