"Subscription Billing and Revenue Management"

4/5

What do you like best about Place?

The invoicing is much more efficient for our team having Place integrated with Salesforce. Place integration was a long process but the team assisted in every step along the way and continue to be available as needed, finding solutions for problems that arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Place?

Like many tools integrated with Salesforce, there are limitations and the need for customization takes time. There's been an increase in education, but it's not always easy to understand how the system works on the back end. I don't always know if an automation or validation rule will cause a problem with Place functionality. On the upside, the CS team is always willing to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Team to Work With"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Place?

The people that work there. Every step of the way, we have enjoyed the people we have talked to and worked with. Makes the product that much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Place?

The product is still developing. But they're constantly listening to suggestions and keeping their minds open. Every business has different processes, and for the most part they're very accommodating of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best platform to move forecasting out of Excel spreadsheets"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Place?

Financials are integrated into my company's Quickbooks Online software. I can click a transaction on PlaceCPM and it will direct me to the source entry in Quickbooks. That makes it easier to make adjustments and do financial analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Place?

It will take some time to learn the in and out of this platform. Also, it lacks the cashflow presentation that accountants are used to seeing. I would love to see forecasted cash generated from operations, investing and financing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Place:

The barebone structure of PlaceCPM should be enough for most small to mid-size businesses but a more complex financial structure would require customization, which the guys at PlaceCPM are ready to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Place solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest is being able to move out of spreadsheets and avoid the inconsistencies in formulas present in that format. PlaceCPM does the heavy lifting in distributing the income, expense and related cash movements into different months based on client and vendor payment setup.

"Excellent Startup Forecasting Tool!"

5/5

What do you like best about Place?

The reporting functionality provides me incredible insight into our forecasting that would not be available through using Excel alone. Both the P&L and cash forecasting is available allows great drill down functionality and flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Place?

They're new and still building out functionality. There are lots of things that more sophisticated software have readily available and Place is certainly in the process of building them all out, they just aren't all there yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a financial professional, I am still learning the Salesforce side of the process and how the setup effects the forecasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The real-time forecasting capabilities from our Salesforce opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Place?

Hard to say really; there aren't many things I "dislike", the product is continuing to evolve and grow so some of the nuances I'd "like to have" are being contemplated for future release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Integration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Place?

I wanted to have a single place to login to run my business. We use salesforce and have always been tying to find the way to integrate our quickbooks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Place?

I would like to see a little bit more customization on the reporting for the user. I would like the ability to pick and choose which GL accounts show up on cash flow reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Place:

If you are looking for a way to integrate your QB data into salesforce this is the place to go. I have looked at other integrations and have not been able to find anything that will give and predictive analysis like cash flow forecasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Place solving and how is that benefiting you?

single place to login for running my business. I can now see future cash flow by integrating my opportunities to automatically add records in my cash flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best FP&A for Xero inside Salesforce"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Place?

PlaceCPM really allows users to marry up their Salesforce data with accounting data to users a very unique/insightful view of how a business is performing. I also really like how it allows us to forecast employees, manage their subscriptions and see the financial impact of these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Place?

It can sometimes be a bit clunky with a lot of new objects and it can take a little while to get your head around. There needs to be work done on a knowledge base so that users can quickly reference how to fix errors and troubleshoot themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
