Recommendation from an early Vena adopter
We deployed Vena in 2020 as an ERP extension to our legacy system. Vena empowered sales metrics on the front end, financial project management in the middle, and financial reporting at the job level on the back end. We deployed a second "cube" data warehouse after the initial launch for financial reporting. Each deployment has worked as prescribed and brought extraordinary value to our construction company.
PROSVena has delivered huge value for us in a flexible package that can grow with our business effectively and efficiently. Vena let us keep our existing financial system and our customer Excel quoting apps. And built a reporting system on the back of Excel which everyone already knows. The road to value was fairly straightforward for us.
CONSVena is a toolbox of powerful opportunities. It is not an out-of-the-box accounting system. So you have to know exactly what you want out of Vena before deploying it. But this is true of any data warehouse. Knowing how data is to be extracted and presented requires upfront commitment and execution. Time spent in the planning phase will pay off 10X in the execution phase.
Reason for choosing Vena
Vena let us keep our existing financial system and our customer Excel quoting apps. And built a reporting system on the back of Excel which everyone already knows.

Best Accounting Software
After using the Vena Software now I can say it's the best accounting software where we can reconcile ending balances. Now we can easily identify discrepancies or time differences between the bank statement and financial records. With a centralized database, we can easily collect all the data from different departments and generate a collective report about company progress. That's why I totally recommended this software to all my corporate friends.
PROSAfter using the Vena software now I can say that now I can take up my financial decision more effectively. with the help of this software, we can generate a report through with we get better financial insights. Now we can do data aggregation department-wise. With Vena Software my focus is financial planning or analysis through its various features like bank reconciliation, General ledger, and many more. It's very user-friendly with an interactive dashboard and collaboration management.
CONSNothing, I like each and every feature of Vena Accounting software offers features such as data consolidation, workflow automation, scenario modeling, and interactive dashboards which help me in taking the future decision after keeping in mind the current situation of our company. We can now collaborate with our stakeholders to access and review different scenarios.

A Strong tool that can help to create the best reports in an organization
After we installed Vena in our organization the broad data management of the whole organization got completed a lot faster than before and it has lots of collaborating tools that even make it more time-saving and high potential software which gives great returns to our company.
PROSVena is a cloud-based platform that helps our business to track all their budgets, plans, and financial data in a single platform. The best part of Vena is that it can easily be integrated with MS Excel and even a user who doesn't have much information about Excel can work on it with huge data. It also helps to understand the overall performance of our organization and understand the market trends.
CONSThe worst part of working in Vena is its interface which is a little different to learn initially and getting used to its complex user interface takes a little time also the price of the software is on the higher side when it is compared to some other FP&A software available in the market.

Improved budgeting and ad hoc reporting
PROSThe Excel interface is my favorite part about Vena. Everyone within our business is familiar with and comfortable using Excel. Therefore, when we started using Vena for budgets, our contributors did not have to learn a completely new interface. However, Vena offers so much more than just Excel. I love how Vena shows you who made changes to the file and what the previous values in the file were. It helps hold people accountable. It is also very easy to make powerful reports using Vena.
