Farseer: the data crunching machine

We started using Farseer recently, and it’s been a real eye-opener. The software’s analytical power is simply incredible. We can do so much more with our data now, and it’s all thanks to Farseer. Sure, it’s different than using Excel, but it’s a great tool that we’re happy to have in our arsenal.

PROS

The analytical power of Farseer is just amazing. We can do complex calculations in a fraction of the time it would have taken with Excel. The software’s ability to handle large datasets is also a big plus. We can crunch numbers in ways we never could before, and it’s making a real difference in our financial planning.

CONS

Farseer is different than Excel, so there was a bit of a learning curve at first. It took us some time to get used to the new interface, some extra materials would be nice.

Easy to use customizable solution for S&OP forecast & demand planning

Great experience mostly due to the great Farseer team of people always friendly and ready to jump in and help improve our ways of working. They worked so hard to learn how we work and show us how to do it much more simpler with their tool. Long hours of excel calculations and formula writing are now minutes in Farseer, even when management decides to change the whole process upside down. Farseer developers make it easy to calculate everything you need. Best way it has great dashboard module for tracking your forecast accuracy and sales trends in simple and easy-to-create dashboards and visualizations. I would recommend to all medium-sized companies to try this tool.

PROS

Online platform replacing excel in planning and budgeting daily, monthly, or quarterly operations. This tool helped in making the forecast process much smoother and uncomplicated. It generates forecasts using multiple algorithms and it learns based on historical data how to spread your numbers across multiple organizations, channels, or product variations. It is versatile, in a way that combines generating forecasts top-down or bottom-up, while showing results both in quantities of products or in revenue numbers. Collaborative, could be used by all departments - factory, supply, marketing & sales.

CONS

When using it at first it could look crazy and unlogic, but with time and great effort by Farseer developers, it gets better and better and is so easy to work with.

Reason for choosing Farseer

Easy to learn, interesting to use and customize on the go with great customer support on a daily base.

Reasons for switching to Farseer

Easier use and custom-made models built in a way that best suits our planning process

Thank you!

Tool that replaced Excel for us

PROS

I reviewed so many tools before we selected Farseer and Farseer is absolutely the best. It is very user-friendly, it is fast and it is very helpful when planning. It fully replaced excel in our FP&A function including company-wide reporting. The tool can also integrate well with other tools we are using as well as with accounting software directly. Also, the support is very good and we can get things resolved very timely by their customer support representative.

CONS

Nothing really comes to my mind as something I'd like least.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the kind words, Martin, we're glad Farseer was such a success for your company.

Farseer - The most intuitive and flexible planning software

We replaced Excel completely and we do all our financial planning and reporting in Farseer. Additionally, we implemented balance sheet and cash flow planning in Farseer. Our planning process is faster and more accurate now, and we are covering all three financial reports now, which would be very difficult to achieve in Excel.

PROS

Modelling in Farseer is extremely easy and allows great freedom for the modeller. We have managed to implement very complex scenarios with multiple drivers, very fast. Using those drivers on the dashboard to see how the change impacts the financial KPIs is a phenomenal feature. It works blazingly fast.

CONS

I would love to see some more advanced features in the analytics part, like questions and answers. We saw some beta versions for Q&A and we can’t wait for that feature to go into production. Also, waterfall graphs would be a nice add-on. Slicers for date that effect the whole dashboard would also be useful.

Vendor Response

Thank you Bruno. We're constantly working on adding new features that will increase Farseer flexibility even more! Stay tuned! :)

Very good tool, fully recomended

Overall experience with Farseer is excellent because following reasons: 1. Great Farseer team of people who are always on disposal for any issue, advice and consulting when it is needed. They are willing to accept suggestion for changing some feature or create a new per need. For sure, they are "think outside of the box" crew. 2. Farseer tool is adjustable and every feature can be customized or upgraded 3. Possibility to include several different business units (sales, marketing, supply chain etc.) in one integrated process.

PROS

Farseer is solid forecasting tool which is using several statistical methods for providing estimated quantity or revenue. It is easy to use it and it is not a problem to implement it in standard processes for calculation, control, overview etc.. In addition to the forecasting feature, it provides very good feature for creating dashboards which can provide excellent visualization of needed data.

CONS

When forecast need to be changed manually, this can be time consuming but this is not depending just on Farseer tool, it depends on the structure of forecast process which will be created in Farseer. For sure, they are "thinking outside the box" people.

Thank you for the kind words, Ivan!

Great planning solution

PROS

We used to rely solely on Excel, but Farseer has allowed us to achieve greater efficiency in our financial planning process by making it easy for our global teams to work together seamlessly. The feature I like the most is how easy it is to add new data to the model. And the best part is that everything is automatically updated for everyone as soon as you change it, which saves a ton of time and hassle. Also, the team at Farseer is constantly updating and improving the softwar, adding new features and improving existing ones based on user feedback.

CONS

The Dashboard could be upgraded with some more chart types like waterfall chart, to help visualize and analyze financial data more effectively. Also, the Help center is great, but I would like to see more video tutorials on best practices.

Great product and great support

They are a great team and they have a great product. If they keep this up, they can only move even more forward and become even better.

PROS

I love that the software covers the needs I have perfectly. I love the fact that the Farseer team asked me about my issues and then worked with me on setting up my finance flows and everything. I love the fact that they were flexible to work with me on my needs and find ways for me to implement things that helped my particular cases.

CONS

The software is a tricky to use at first, but this is why I would like to put additional emphasis on customer support which is extraordinary and helps you fall in love with the product.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your kind words. We will do our best to improve Farseer UX even more.

Makes it easy to recommend

We replaced Excel budgeting process and we are now faster, more acurate and with the possibility to dedicate our time to optimize the process result.

PROS

The initial approach was dedicated and thorough. The implementation covered all our specifics and left nothing unanswered. The software is intuitive with all key features tuned exactly to the task. The integration with the ERP was quick. All promises from the beginning of the project were fulfilled.

CONS

Some additional report formatting possibilities for printing use would be a good addition to the very good dashboard feature.

Vendor Response

Thank you, Milan. We are already working on new formatting features. Stay tuned.
