FinOps Lead Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/12/2023 "Forecasting Gamechanger" 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Causal makes forecasting for businesses so easy. I appreciate the API will connect in to lots of places and pull live data. This means I can create great rolling forecast data that is more accurate. It's a lot easier and faster to use than excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? There is a bit of a learning curve to Causal for those unfamiliar with it. However, they have a wealth of training material on their website. You can also try the FinOps Academy Causal training course for extra help. Once you're used to the system it's an absolute joy.

Causal can easily connect outside data sources from google sheets, bigquery data tables, netsuite and more. They also have a team that is very responsive to questions and platform feedback. Causal allows users to easily build models and present the data in customizable graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? I have faced a few challenges with causal. One of the challenges is getting a new employee up to speed on the platform. Causal offers a large amount of training but there is a learning curve between the simple trainings and a companies fully built complex model structure. Another challenge is due my companies vast usage of causal and the amount of interconnected models and scenarios we have there have been speed and model size issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? When we have run into issues with model size and speed Causal has swiftly stepped in to identify the root cause of these issues and how we could address the problem. They have also been willing to discuss large model changes we want to make prior to making them to ensure we optimize the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Causal is built as a modeling tool for earlier-stage businesses. Version control capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? Lots of potential for improvements: 1. Not currently useful as a reporting tool - this, to me is the biggest deficiency - it's more of a modeling tool, and I need both 2. Lots of low-hanging fruit to make it more user-friendly - UI, suppressing zeros was just launched, which is an improvement, 1:1 planning dimensions not always practical 3. Access and user permissions are labor intensive and could be prone to error. You have to modify via views which is confusing and could be a lot more efficient as a backend permission Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? Right now we are stalled on implementation because of our resource limitations so it's not solving very many current issues. I would like it to solve our budgeting process but afraid we wont have it live in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very free form which is incredible." 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? That the tool is relatively 'free form', if I need a single calculation, it can do that, if I need an entire model or multiple calculations it can also do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? It has a relatively steep learning curve, but the video tutorials and previous SQL database experience made the tool very intuitive. The only other issue from an individual user standpoint is the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? This solved reporting issues within the company I work for, basically allowing me to create models and individual sheets to do forecasting and reporting calculations for people in our Operations department using a template rather than free hand.

The Causal team also has great support and will help out quickly if we have a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet?

Associate Vice President, Strategy & Forecasting Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/1/2022 "A simple, intuitive, and powerful modelling suite." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? - 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 - you can build and share an Executive Dashboard in which the variables can be changed to see the impact upon outputs. This doesn't change the underlying model, so all the hard work of structuring is protected. - models can be copied easily for others to use and play with - scenario modelling and exciting ways to display the outputs - versioning to keep track of changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? - large models can get slow in calculating outputs, but this is evident only in the free plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Lucanet solving and how is that benefiting you? - modeling with large numbers of variables in which the model structure is subject to ongoing change. Excel just wouldn't be user friendly enough for this. - cohort modeling for product development - ability to communicate results and demonstrate scenarios in real time with Executives.

Vice President Finance Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/28/2022 "This is the Financial tool you've been looking for." 5/5 What do you like best about Lucanet? Visualisation and dashboard building is taken to a whole different level with causal. This is a no code solution for building financial models and reporting suites which are easy to modify to each audience you have. I really like that you can pull in live data from different sources and have it update in your models on your terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Lucanet? Some of the dropping and dragging can be a bit glitchy but I've already spoken to the teams about this and it seems that a lot of this is already in development. I would say one thing people have to get over is the initial learning curve but its honestly worthwhile! 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.
