YH Yoichiro H. CEO, Co-founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/20/2023 "Make financial modeling massively efficient" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Compared to traditional tools like Excel or Airtable, Causal has huge advantage to manage multiple scenarios and update the data with connecting the external data source. By using the "Category" feature, it makes it quite easy to handle multiple departments. Moreover, via the "Dashboard", you can share the visualized summary/chart with anyone with ease or embed to daily tools like Notion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? It requires a few hours to learn all the features even if they provide templates. Especially "Functions" looks super useful but hard to understand nad master how to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? Normally it take a few weeks of time and effort to make/maintain financial projection for more than 3-5 years. But thanks to Causal, it could shorted to few days to make and easy to update by connecting external data source. And by using "Input" section on dashboard, team/investor can play/simulate with testing hypothetical numbers for each metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Causal has allowed us to build our SaaS models with a lot more flexibility than if we used Excel. Learning curve is a lot simpler than other FP&A tools that I have worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? Like any FP&A tool, there is still a learning curve so still need to teach users of models how Causal works. More complex models require some time to run calculations but team is working on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Very good versioning system - allows comparing versions very easily easy graph plotting tool. Time series formulas are very useful when dealing with financial data and projections and now the live collaboration capabilities fill a gap that I previously missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? Quality of life: Resize columns at once Conditional formatting on dates (e.g. actuals are different than model/years are different colours Show the value of a part of the formula when hovering (similar to F9 behaviour in Gsheet) Expand all categories with one click General usability: This is more a generic comment but I do feel that Causal is less intuitive and has a steeper learning curve than the usual spreadsheet calculation platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? Causal has been implemented mainly by our local finance function to handle our P&L and help the S&OP process. So far it hasn't benefited me per se as I am still in the early stages of the learning curve but my colleague seems pretty happy about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automatically updating dates for historical and projected. Create and save multiple scenarios Fast support to a real human on a chat interface Easy to structure models Cohort modeling is native and super helpful Charting is quick, and outputs are attractive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? There is no way to export to excel while keeping the native functions made in causal. This was a major pain in the rear and cost me a bunch of extra. Please improve the function export! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? Managing a financial model for multiple stakeholders and updating this for different views, scenarios, information sets, is time consuming and leads to errors in work which are usually only picked up by someone else who is reading the report. Causal helps to put an end to this as you only update once, you set views once, you can run as many scenarios as you need and overall month end closing, investor reporting, internal stakeholder views are all automated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RO Robbie O. Head of Finance Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/17/2023 "Excellent tool for modelling" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Causal is a very well designed tool. It's got great flexibility on the back end, it can be linked directly to your sources (for live, single source of truth data), it has a really clean front end allowing the user to edit only the inputs you decide. It's also really great for linking multiple models, giving a clear history so you can follow how a model was designed. I also love the speed of new feature releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? I think not having unlimited categories (unless you pay for them) is a little frustrating. It's not a payment model that encourages ambitious building. Not every integration is there yet - though this is quickly changing. Some limitations om sizing of charts etc. But overall these are nit picks, it's a great tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? KPIs are great, but building models that allows you to tie those KPIs together and to other business assumptions is a really great way to drive decisions and insights Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's like a specific sort of spreadsheet that allows you to create forecasts more easily and smartly than you can accomplish in a traditional spreadsheet. It takes a bit of learning to find everything, but it is quite powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? It can be a bit difficult to understand and use at first. I often created things in a spreadsheet and then copy-pasted those over to Causal once I knew how they looked there. I'm not sure how it could be fixed. Maybe there are some UI things that could be done? However, It's a powerful tool, and worth taking the time to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? Causal excels at value ranges, showing you your models' best-case and worst-case scenarios. This is where spreadsheets fall short. So Causal is helping me forecast my business and allowing me to get an idea of the possible outcomes and not just the mid-range estimate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
