RC Radu C. Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/10/2020 "Great tool for forecasts and budget" 4/5 What do you like best about Vena? Vena is a powerful tool for developing and sharing forecasts and budgets. This application has allowed me to create powerful agile input templates for the end users to enter their forecast or budget projections. Vena makes the consolidation of this data easy: the consolidated data is displayed in reports and is easily refreshed with the push of a button. The fact that Vena relies on Excel makes the learning curve less steep for some users. The entire setup process can be done internally as opposed to relying on second party consultants. Reports and input forms are built in Excel and while there is some learning required to master the mapping and data querying processes, it is fairly easy to comprehend. Setting up and maintaining data cubes is intuitive and quick. Data hierarchies and dimensions can be either set up through the web interface (drag and drop type), mass upload via CSV file, or a combination of both techniques. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Vena? Vena relies heavily on Excel and therefore a robust knowledge of this tool is required to fully leverage the application's capabilities. Mistakes can easily be made if some users are unclear as to how the mapping process works. I wish there would be more control features in place to limit the type of input that some group of users can make. The permissions setup process is a little too complex, with different overlapping layers of permissions. Setting up users can be challenging at first. The mapping process in Excel can be time consuming for large report files. Each intersection cell needs to be mapped and although several cells can be mapped simultaneously, the process is still slower than querying data via Excel formula (as some applications allow). Mapping cells is done solely through a pop-up window in Excel and mapping cannot be copied through the standard Excel copy-paste feature. Also, mapping can become extremely slow on larger files (40+ sheets), with the Vena pop-up window taking as long as one minute to appear in these cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Vena: Be clear on your goals from the start then evaluate Vena on each of those points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Vena solving and how is that benefiting you? Vena helps us tackle the challenge of consolidating data from different user groups. We no longer have to maintain different copies on local computers or shared drives. Instead, we can all work on the same files simultaneously and the data entered is automatically consolidated in the Vena cloud database. Consolidation of user input was a challenge across an organization of our size. With Vena, we can simply hit the refresh button, and all data populates the fields which are mapped.

Senior Director, Financial Planning & Analysis Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/8/2019 "Effective database financial system with Excel flexibility" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Vena? Ability to cater templates and reports with a user friendly excel based interface. Once you get used to the mapping methodology, it is fairly easy to set up personalized budget / forecast templates for budget managers across an organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Vena? Unlike a true database interface, you need to be careful that you set up your templates in a manner that ensures data integrity. Once you understand the concern, it is not too difficult to work around it, and the flexibility of excel is worth the hassle, but it is often not as easy as changing one variable and having it permeate across the system.
