The ability to quickly and easily roll up the budgets will be a huge time saver.

Once again we got great feedback from our users on the ease of use of the system.

XLerant provides a fantastic software that has greatly improved our budgeting process.

Easy to configure to your company's needs and powerful in that it always enables you to know where your end-users are in their process and provide real-time updates and snapshots to senior management.

BudgetPak is a great tool and the customer service and support is outstanding.

We went through a realign of our HQ office in early 2009. BudgetPak made it easy to make those changes quickly and consolidation was a snap with great audit trails.

The product meets all of our needs: it's fully customizable and there are are several reporting options. Forecasting, and creating several budget scenarios is important to us.

Working with the XLerant team has been great. They were very patient with us in the decision process and have been very helpful in getting set up as well.

BudgetPak is robust and well-written. Our users are mostly non-financial people and they've found it easy to use.

Unfortunately, we have some complicated travel calculations for budgeting that still have to be done out of the system. But we are able to attach our worksheets in BudgetPak for reference.

This is our second year with it. I loved it from the start and still do.

End user experience is easy and intuitive. I especially love the ability to establish monthly budgets which provides a much greater probability for accurate year-end forecasts.

Can be done off-hours, but in an international company with users all over the world, this can be inconvenient.

The implementation team at Xlerant was organized, responsive, and knowledgable. The product is easy to use for both our admins and end-users.

This system has allowed us to have greater visibility and run reports quickly. Whenever we have any questions or issues, customer service is quick to respond.

If any questions arise, we ask and they promptly respond. There is ongoing training offered in the form of a support site, webinars and newsletters.

While this is happening, no other end users are able to see or work on their budgets since system is under maintenance.

There is no comparison out there and this is hands down the best purchase I have made in my 11 years as Budget Director.

Standard reports within BudgetPak are easy to use and allows us to quickly compare any of our budgets or actuals. We are very satisfied with the product and customer service.

Very useful for all sizes of organizations. We examined all of the top Gartner-recommended products, and this was by far the easiest for our staff to understand and be proficient with.

This is an excellent product. We compared several budgeting software packages before selecting BudgetPak.

The only issue is that it becomes difficult to train new system administrators and to know that our institution is using the system to it's full effect.

DataRails was able to replicate all of the benefits of other more well known Planning Solutions at a much lower investment cost - both financial and human capital.

Great solution for planning across a distributed organization.

My experience with DataRails has been first class. I have assisted with a seamless integration for Budgeting purposes and have now rolled out the solution for month end reporting.

For departments that rely heavily on Excel, this product is a must. All our information is in one place, it's accurate and reliable, and it boosts our confidence in the conclusions we draw from them.

A great product, we were able to take existing excel-based planning models and make them better with this FPA solution.

Staff is always nice and easy to work with. Integrates well with other systems.

Datarails is an exhaustive FP&A tool and great for  Budgeting and variance analysis. The Report Builder is a powerful feature that helps to review results by Office, department & Cost centers.

I like the ease of budgeting and maintaining my departments spending- I like the dig down functions.

We've integrated DataRails within our finance department and it's just been great.

Version management from several locations on the globe, when end user works in same excel template. Dashboards and visually interface for users.

The platform doesn't integrate with Excel 2007 which is a bummer.

It doesn't work well with Quickbook Desktop. It requires a lot of manual processes.

It has been smooth and will be an easy transition for us. Above all else, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been super helpful.

Model building is straightforward, visualizations are enlightening, integrations are easy.

Finance is pleased with the ease of use and accessibility of data.

Seamless integration with key business applications; strong reporting and dashboarding capabilities; integrates well with Excel to allow for next-level data manipulation and analysis.

Cloud focused, connects all data,allows for easy planning across different teams. Insights feature is fantastic for customized slicing of data.

I like the following items about datarails. Its simplicity in terms of report creation and implementation.

We were trying to work with our internal controls, but it was proving to be too manually intensive and costly with upkeep and designated staff.

Great product, Helped us combined several source of data into one dashboard. Very easy to use and present all the data in one place.

I highly recommend DataRails. The product is amazing, the support is industry best, and the responsiveness to customer preferences is incredible.

Great customer service, very quick to respond and very helpful walking me thru different ways to show my data that would be easiest to maintain.

The dashbaord functionality is very limited compared to tools such as Tableau.

Great customer support and on-boarding. Easy to refresh integrations.

DataRails also reduced the probability of human error.

DataRails ensures this no longer applies, without requiring my team to change how we work or requiring lengthy or complicated implementation. I'm very happy with what it has added to my team.

DataRails has substantially improved the accuracy of our budgeting and forecasting. I love the ease of it, how accessible it makes our numbers, and how simple it is to follow real-time statuses.

Great customer support starting during the demonstration phase and going throughout implementation and use.
