Datarails 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Datarails has significantly improved our financial reporting process, making it faster and more structured. The platform’s logic and ease of generating Flash Reports provide excellent visibility, especially compared to Netsuite’s limitations. While there are some technical quirks—like extra steps for certain reports and version control challenges—the overall benefits far outweigh these issues. It’s a powerful tool that helps us deliver accurate insights quickly, and I’m excited to explore more advanced features like charts and custom reports.

Our experience to date has been excellent, we are still in the implementation phase but are so excited to get fully up and running. Previously, we were overwhelmed by handling massive data files in Excel and constantly having to update them manually whenever changes occurred. Most of our time was spent just managing data and reports, leaving little opportunity for meaningful analysis. Datarails is helping us reclaim that valuable time.

Besides the Mac add-in issue, that caused budget delays and waiting on support to assist, it has been good.

Overall the Datarials product is everything we needed to empower our Finance team to perform efficient and effective FP&A. The product is great, but ran into some hiccups during implementation. From the beginning we were very clear on wanting to be able to link our GL to other data sources and tried to gauge how much of this we needed to do versus changing our GL posting processes to include said details. It took weeks/months into the implementation of asking and eventually getting a new more experienced implementer to show us this process (which wasn't as easy as we were hoping). We also ran into issues with our Excel Add-in not working properly because our PCs had both the Mac and Windows Add-in. The troubleshooting and back and forths on this issue persisted for months until it got identified and resolved. At times it felt like we were driving the ship not knowing exactly what the next steps were in the implementation when there were plenty of things to do. Overall, Datarails wants what is best for their customers, but their lack of internal communication and turnover in their organization made the implementation experience drag on.

As an overall natural skeptic, Datarails has given me a new perspective on my financial tech stack. As an ASC with BI coming from multiple sources, we needed a platform that could truly integrate everything, not just promise it. Datarails centralizes our disparate systems, connects them to historical financials, and is on its way to becoming a single source of truth for budgeting and forecasting. It's eliminated the manual visual build-out headaches and freed up time for actual FP&A discussions, making it easier to keep leadership aligned without building custom reports from scratch.

The tool is useful for aggregation of financial data and creating financial reporting. Response times and customer service from my implementation manager [sensitive content hidden] have been fantastic. Use of the product certainly reduces manual manipulation of data to aggregate from different ERPs, however, by solving this problem there are other areas that require investment such as communication with the Datarails team to stay on the same page about data sources and calculations. Use of the product requires getting up to speed on the environment and features in Excel. I think these areas are intuitive enough for a finance person but potentially a little steep for a casual user outside of FP&A (even if just using in Excel). The product does its job well, if you are lacking in top notch Excel talent or data sources are unwieldly this software can provide significant value at the fraction of what it would cost to make a new hire with the requisite skills.

Overall so far I would recommend Datarails to business's trying to consolidate multiple systems into one.

Datarails has provided us with greater clarity regarding our financials and has made the budgeting season much easier.

My experience with Datarails has been largely positive. The platform has given us visibility into financial and staffing metrics we didn’t have before, and the reporting features are flexible and easy to interpret, which has helped our team make better decisions. A major highlight has been the support. [sensitive content hidden], our Customer Success Manager, has been great to work with, always responsive and proactive. Todd, who has been handling the API work, has also been extremely helpful and patient throughout the process.
