"My feedback on Vena – efficiency, collaboration, and accelerated decision-making"
What do you like best about Vena?

I have been using Vena for some time, and what I like the most is its seamless integration with Excel. We retain the flexibility of Excel while benefiting from a collaborative platform that centralizes data and reduces errors.

On the other hand, some advanced features require a bit of time to master, and the price can be a barrier for small businesses. When the models become very large, the loading time can also increase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful for Streamlining Financial Planning tasks"
What do you like best about Vena?

In my Consulting work, i rely on Vena daily to manage clients budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting process. The Excel-bases interface is a major advantage, it let me work with familiar spreadsheet logic while ensuring all data is centralised and consistent across the platform.

The workflow automation, real-time dashboard and collaboration tools make it easy to coordinate with multiple stakeholders, reducing manual efforts and the risk of errors.

What do you dislike about Vena?

While the platform's ease of setup and implementation make getting started smooth but one downside is that Vena does not offer a free trial. Some users may want to experience the platform firsthand before purchase and discuss its benefits and features with their internal teams, but this isn't possible.

"Vena streamlines budgeting and forecasting across teams"
What do you like best about Vena?

The best thing about Vena is that it keeps the familiar Excel interface while adding structure, automation, and governance. Our finance team can still build and adjust models in a way they know, but now every template is standardized and linked to a central database. The workflow approvals make collaboration smooth, and the audit trail gives us confidence in the numbers. I also appreciate how quickly it integrates with our ERP data, which helps reduce manual consolidation and speeds up reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vena?

The initial learning curve for non-finance colleagues can be challenging, since not everyone is equally comfortable with Excel formulas and modeling. Setting up complex scenarios sometimes still requires support from the admin team, and I would like to see more built-in templates or examples for advanced use cases. Pricing for additional modules can also feel high for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes budgeting feel less painful and more in control!"
What do you like best about Vena?

What I like most is how it works with Excel instead of replacing it. I didn’t have to learn a brand new interface, which made adoption smooth for our team. We use it mostly for budgeting and forecasting, and the templates we set up have made things a lot more organized. It tracks changes and lets multiple users work without stepping on each other’s work. That alone saved us hours during month end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vena?

It can feel a little slow when too many people are editing at once. Also, setup took longer than we expected since we had to build things from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
