“Vena Streamlines Financial Reporting and Budgeting but Complex Dashboard Refresh Speed is Slow”

5.0
Nov 7, 2025
Vena has been great to improve our efficiency with financial reporting and budgeting/forecasting. The dashboard built by Vena for us has also been great for our team to see the results at a snapshot while also being able to drill/filter into details. The ability to build and adjust reports in Excel makes it very flexible. Implementation took longer than we expected and required a lot more data cleansing than we anticipated.

Vena Complete Planning Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

Automatically updating financial reports saves a lot of time each month. Budget templates with a workflow that can be directed to specific users have been great. Being able to continue to operate in excel had been a strength as well.

What I like most about Vena is the automation it adds to our financial reporting processes. Taking out manual work both saves employee time, and reduces the risk of human error.

Dislike

The account reconciliation process isn't quite as functional as some other tools, but as a relatively low cost add-on it gets it done. Learning how the reporting works took a little time but after working on some reports you pick it up. Our primary dashboard refresh time is a bit slow.

Dislike

Not much, Once implemented there is very little need for IT's help and I loving having all the data available in one location.

Dislike

Users can only see what we have access to, it would be nice for individual contributors to be able to see all the services Vena offers in our portal. This would allow the users to identify ways that Vena could improve workflow that could then be passed along to management for potential implementation.
