Simple and Powerful

If you're forecasting and tracking KPIs in spreadsheets and its time to upgrade to a formal product, but you're hesitant to pull the trigger on a host of tools that require lengthy implementation cycles, limit your end users, or isn't flexible to encompass your business operations, you need to schedule a demo with Cube. It will help organize your existing chaos and scale as you continue to grow.

PROS

It's Simple. Cube takes in your KPIs and other data, and connects to your accounting systems. Then, connect to Sheets or Excel, create your output mapping, and now you have a single source of truth you can manipulate without worrying if someone is going to hard code a cell and throw off downstream calculations. Cube will allow you to give your department leaders the ability to create their own scenarios and forecasts, track their budget to actuals, and see their own P&Ls, all within a spreadsheet.

CONS

Cube is a newer platform, and as such they're doing aggressive feature building. This means that some functionality has been impacted on occasion for a short period of time. Thankfully, their customer service teams are on top of the issues and able to support.

Painless and Fun Implementation & Usage

We mainly use Cube as a way to store our budget (and consistent budget updates) and to do our reporting. We were housing our budget on a google sheet before and there were always formula breaks, manual errors, no audit trail, etc. With the implementation of Cube, we are able to have one source of truth and sleep easier knowing that our budget is stored correctly. I love that we can store each budget update as a different scenario as well and therefore be able to see how it has changed throughout the year. We were also manually updating reports each month with our budget from google sheets and actuals from Intacct. Now having everything all together in Cube has cut down on report building by days!! We hope to soon start importing our international entities financials as well to be able to see the full scope of our organization all in one place.

PROS

One of my favorite parts of Cube was how quick and easy the implementation process was. We were up and running in less than a month after signing the contract and the team communicated with us the whole team. The training was super simple and our account manager is almost always available instantly to help us with whatever we need. I can actually sleep better at night knowing that all my information is correct and accurate and stored somewhere other than google drive. It has also helped me cut down immensely on the time to create a monthly report book.

CONS

I would say the only downsides are that there is a limited number of dimensions your organization can have. As a nonprofit, we report on a lot of different areas and having more dimensions available to us could make things easier. On top of that, we show things at a very granular, detailed level in reports and having more dimensions would allow us to showcase these details more easily. It also can be a bit slow to run the imports from our accounting software Intacct to bring in actuals each month so I have to make sure I plan in advance to give 30 mins to an hour for the details to come through.

Reason for choosing Cube

price, implementation timeline, ease of use and flexibility, ongoing support.

Cube is good if your company manages their reporting in Google Sheets

PROS

The ability to integrate the product in our models on Google Sheets.

CONS

The product doesn't have many features. It lacks analytics, dashboards, and other comprehensive features.

Super Intuitive - Best system if your business is not ready to shift from excel

PROS

By far have gained the most traction with other areas of the business like sales, operations or marketing as they can intuitively use this embedded in excel vs a new system. Transition and understanding super quick and easy

CONS

Dashboarding still not intuitive enough like a PowerBI or Tableau No detailed project management tool to track progress of important FP&A projects like budgets, long term plans or rolling forecasts.

Cube x InStride Review

Cube has been a critical tool for our finance team to scale with our rapidly growing company. We're able to spend less time on creation of reports and focus more on the analysis and impact drivers to help influence decision across the company.

PROS

Cube has allowed my team to automate several aspects of our budgeting, forecasting, and monthly financial reviews. We're able to quickly drilldown into the details to see assumptions around our budgets and line item expenses. We have created templates that allow us to upload monthly forecasts in real time as we meet with our department leads.

CONS

I would love to see some payroll and headcount planning and tracking capabilities in the future. Potentially a link with our payroll system that helps forecast all compensation related costs by employee that we can roll-up into our forecasts

Reason for choosing Cube

This was my first use of a tool like this and I appreciated the simplicity of how to use the tool and the low price point. Fit in perfectly for our size company.
