"This product has increased productivity"
What do you like best about Velixo?

Velixo has reduced the time it takes to carry out several tasks. We purchased it because of the ability to create financial statements and stats with the click of a button but we found that it does much more with the ability to writeback journal entries, bills, invoices, and more directly to Acumatica ERP. We also use it to create budget files for managers to complete including YTD actual data, forecast data, budget data and then we write back the budgets and modified forecasts to ERP. This process has saved a minimum of 80 hours in the budgeting process.

Velixo's customer support team is top notch and always goes out of their way to find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Velixo?

We found it challenging initially when a password was memorized and then the Acumatica password expired which caused the Acumatica account to be locked if a user went into a Velixo-enabled file. We have overcome that challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Janet Keating of Velixo

Thank you for sharing your experience with Velixo. We're glad to hear that it has saved you significant time in your budgeting process and has provided valuable features for creating financial statements and stats. We apologize for the initial challenge with the password expiration and have taken note of this for future improvements.

What do you like best about Velixo?

Ability to quickly pull information into an excel format for additional analysis and better reporting. We have built customized templates for financial reporting and other summary reports that previously took ours to develop each month. Now, it is a matter up opening an excel file and the information is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Velixo?

We have not found a single downside yet. It is a matter of knowing your ERP system and where to get the information. Velixo is very easy to use. You don't need to know how to program or code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Janet Keating of Velixo

"I love Velixo"
What do you like best about Velixo?

It's completely integrated with Acumatica and I get to use my Excel skills. Reports are professional looking, easy to keep updated saves me HOURS every month so I don't have to export data, reformat it and then analyze. If I need some quick information Velixo is the first place I look to get it, I go to Velixo daily, maybe even more often than Acumatica. And the distribution feature is the best - saves so much time and automatically changes the parameters on my reports to distribute to the correct department.

It's super easy to implement and get up and going immediately. Whenever I've had an issue customer support responds timely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Velixo?

The downside is that it is not a cloud-based product like Acumatica so employees that need my reports have to wait until I distribute them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Janet Keating of Velixo

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us feedback. We're thrilled Velixo is working so well for you. Would you be willing to chat with me around your distribution challenges?

"Accounting with AI"
What do you like best about Velixo?

What I like best about Velixo is how seamlessly it integrates with Excel. It makes pulling data from ERP systems like Acumatica super easy and fast, especially for financial reporting. I don’t have to export and clean up reports manually—everything updates in real time, which saves a ton of time and reduces errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Velixo?

One thing I dislike about Velixo is that the initial setup can be a bit tricky, especially if you're not familiar with your ERP system’s structure. Also, if your data set is large, performance can slow down a bit in Excel. It’s a powerful tool, but there’s a bit of a learning curve for new users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Janet Keating of Velixo

We're glad to hear that you find Velixo's integration with Excel seamless and efficient for pulling data from Acumatica. We understand that the initial setup can be challenging, and we're continuously working to improve the onboarding experience for new users. As for performance with large data sets, we're constantly looking for ways to optimize and apprecoate your feedback!

"Great Experience with Velixio's Expertise and Responsiveness"
What do you like best about Velixo?

What I like best about Velixo is its seamless integration with Excel, which makes financial reporting highly efficient and user-friendly. The ability to pull real-time data directly into Excel allows for quick analysis, reduced manual effort, and increased accuracy. It’s particularly useful for building customized reports, performing variance analysis, and creating roll-forwards without relying heavily on IT or manual data extraction. The interface is intuitive, and the learning curve is minimal, which makes it a strong tool for finance professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Velixo?

While Velixo is a powerful and efficient tool, one area that could be improved is its handling of more complex or non-standard reporting requirements. For example, when working with intricate consolidations, multi-entity structures, or custom data fields in Acumatica, it can take extra effort or creative workarounds to achieve the desired output.

Additionally, performance can occasionally lag when pulling large volumes of data or working with very detailed reports, especially if multiple Velixo formulas are used in a single workbook. While this isn’t a dealbreaker, it's something to be mindful of during high-volume reporting cycles.

Lastly, more built-in templates or advanced functions tailored for financial controllers would be helpful, as it would reduce the need for building complex formulas from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Damien Zwillinger of Velixo

Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to read your detailed review and we really appreciate your feedback!

Regarding performance, given the nature and flexibility of Generic Inquiries, there are a range of optimizations to take into considerations (and probably more so in Acumatica than in Velixo). Please contact us at Support in this regard, and directly at damien @ velixo.com (without spaces) to discuss your extra requirements and ideas. Many thanks!

"Financial Workflow Automation"
What do you like best about Velixo?

Velixo has completely transformed the way I work with financials. The seamless integration with Excel makes it incredibly intuitive, and I love how efficient it is to send financials directly. One of my favorite features is the ability to perform write-backs for journal entries—it saves so much time and reduces the risk of errors.

The platform takes what used to feel like tedious, manual processes and turns them into smooth, streamlined tasks. Velixo has quickly become one of my favorite tools for financial reporting and accounting workflows. I can’t imagine going back to working without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Velixo?

It can be tricky to set up in Excel the first time, but once you get the hang of it - the tool becomes a partner in your financial processes day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We love using Velixo!"
What do you like best about Velixo?

Velixo is a helpful tool to get data out of Intacct without having to write custom reports in Intacct. The most helpful tool is the writeback feature. My accounting team uses is to book journal entries which we just input in excel and then post through the writeback function. This allows us to set up an entire spreadsheet with multiple tabs for each entry, make monthly updates quick, and post them. My project managers use it for their WIP cost-to-complete calculations and they use the writeback feature to upload their latest forecast. This saves me a significant amount of time as I can pull their latest forecast without having to open a separate workbook for each project. We just recently went live with Intacct but Velixo is already saving me about 8 hours of work at month-end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Velixo?

I find it easy to use as I'm good at following formulas, however sometimes other users have a hard time troubleshooting issues. It's typically something I can find easily by unhiding cells with certain formulas. It's also tricky to navigate when there are Intacct permission issues that are preventing a user from running a Velixo report, however I think that is more of an Intacct issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Janet Keating of Velixo

We're thrilled to hear that Velixo has been such a valuable tool for your team! The writeback feature and the ease of extracting data from Intacct are some of the key benefits of Velixo. 8 hours saved is amazing! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that it's saving you time and streamlining your processes. Please let your colleagues know there is a wealth of information available at help.velixo .com (no space) and if you need further assistance, please reach out to us at customer success @ velixo.com (no spaces).

"Velixo = Excel on drugs"
What do you like best about Velixo?

We’ve been using Velixo alongside Acumatica for a while now, and honestly, it’s one of those tools that you don’t realize how much you rely on until you try going without it.

The Excel integration is seamless. I can pull real-time data directly from Acumatica into my spreadsheets without running manual exports or doing endless copy-paste work. It’s saved me hours every week, especially for recurring reports like sales summaries, financial statements, and project tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Velixo?

If Velixo had a larger library of ready-made templates, it would make onboarding and building reports even faster. Also, the templates could be more consistent in how formulas are applied. Sometimes, when working with different templates to achieve the same type of result, you notice that they use different methods, which can be a bit confusing if you’re trying to standardize reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Janet Keating of Velixo

It's great to hear that Velixo has been instrumental in saving you time and streamlining your reporting processes. We appreciate your input about the templates. We are always seeking ways to improve and are working on expanding the library. Are there any specific ones you would like to see added in the future? I'd love to share this with our product team! Thank you for being part of the Velixo community!
