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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Implementation was very easy compared to other planning tools. The Cube team is extremely accessible and helpful throughout the process. The tool is very intuitive, and has helped us a huge step forward as a function.

Cube helped us to take a huge step forward in our planning and reporting. It allows the team to continue to work in spreadsheets (both Excel and Google Sheets), while ensuring accuracy of data and providing version control.

I don't have any major complaints about the software. There are a few small features we have requested (suppress zeroes, etc). The team has been very responsive to our requests and the tool meets our needs overall.

Really great, no drilldown is the biggest downside. Coming from a fortune 500 company with Hyperion to implementing cube has been pretty seamless.

Integration was seamless, the people are all from FP&A so great to work with and fully understand all questions. I am a former Hyperion user and find Cube to be friendlier in some ways.

There is no drilldown, I would love to be able to drill down by double clicking on revenue and have it list out all of the accounts that roll up to revenue, that way I dont have to manually enter them and would not miss any of the lower level accounts. It is also missing QTD calc. It would also be nice if a new GL account was created and it automatically mapped to the parent account rather than having to manually map new accounts each month.

Cube is a very deep tool and can be utilized for a variety of business purposes including financial reporting, account reconciliations, budgetary analysis, etc. In my experience, depth and flexibility with this type of tool often comes at the sacrifice of usability, but Cube is the exception. Both the online portal and the Excel plug-in are very intuitive and user-friendly. There was a bit of a process to initially get everything set up, but the experts at Cube were very friendly and helpful in walking us through every step, answering questions, and generally going above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of their product. The online dashboard is very easy to set up and personalize and can give a great at-a-glace illustration of business trends or any other company-specific metrics you would like to track. As an avid Excel-user myself, the Excel plug-in is my personal favorite feature that Cube offers. Using the plug-in allows data pulled into spreadsheets and sliced and diced as necessary within seconds, without resorting to macros, power queries, or any over-complicated formulas that would otherwise be needed to accomplish the same task. Cube is an all-around strong product that will only continue to improve and I would highly recommend.

As with any software tool, there are occasionally small things with Cube that can be improved. What sets some companies apart in this area is their willingness to listen to feedback and continuously improve their product - Cube absolutely passes this test. They have been very patient and willing to listen to any and all feedback we have offered, and I can tell they genuinely care about hearing customer feedback that they can use to continuously develop new features and improve existing ones. The software is designed with the end-user in mind and it shows.

I am pretty satisfied with Cube overall. it is helped us in creating custom dashboards as well as brand level P&Ls for our organization. Cube is not only limited to Financial Module , but you can connect it to any module in your ERP and create dashboards as needed.

Cube is very user friendly, you do not require alot of training or technical knowledge to access Cube. Perfect tool for FP&A department of a mid size company as it enables you to drilldown to the leaf level information while maintaining the high level information the executive team is interested in viewing. Most impressive aspect of cube is that it allows you to fetch huge amounts of data within seconds and the recent enhancements cube implemented like 'remove 0 rows from results' is a major plus in reteriving relevant data.

The only shortcoming i can think of is that it is limited to 8 top line Dimenions. Although you can bring in as many attributes of data as you want, but i would really like cube to increase top line dimensions to 10. Also, the ability for cross level interaction within multiples cube would be a major plus once implemented.

We've been using Cube software for a little over a year. So far, the experience has been excellent. We are able to pull the data from our accounting software, which is Sage Intacct, right away after setting up the initial connection. The end user interface is in Excel format, which is super friendly for people like me who do analysis via Excel frequently. On top of all these, Cube is able to integrate with other software like Salesforce. We've been able to pull the sales data from Salesforce via Cube successfully, which is great news considering the more integrated it is, the less effort the user needs to put in. Customer experience has been decent and timely. Whenever we had issues with Cube like importing/exporting entries or setting up new dimension accounts, we usually receive a response promptly from Cube support after sending an email over to explain the situation. The actual time that takes to solve the issue is typically within 24 hours.

Not that I am aware of. If there is one thing I have to say about it, the integration setup via Salesforce was taking longer than we anticipated. It's also partially our fault since we didn't have enough hands to help set up the API on our end.

Phenomenal. The support staff is consistent and extremely helpful at all times.

In my experience with FP&A software tools, Cube has proven to be the most reliable and flexible I have ever used. I previously switched roles and decided to use Cube again at my new company. I use it every day and the support staff is always on call.

For larger businesses, the number of Admin licenses may be constricting.

Overall, we’ve had a good experience with Cube. Their support & customer success teams have been tremendously helpful in remediating issues, discussing architecture options & troubleshooting issues.

Cube gave us a great amount of flexibility with how we could manipulate reporting from our ERP, Netsuite. It allowed us to leverage spreadsheets that incorporate easily into our modeling & budgeting, which was an advantage over some more rigid solutions.

Our biggest pain points originate from data ingestion between our ERP system & Cube’s staging database. Our team has an unusually high number of monthly transactions so we don’t fit into the average customer's needs for syncing & transaction volume. There’s additional review required post sync between Cube & other systems to ensure accurate reporting. I.e. Formulas can have delayed calculations after syncing & not produce desired results initially

Excellent experience, embedded into our decision making process for performance management and budgeting

Overall an excellent product that is intuitive, simple to use, and agile. We needed the flexibility for FP&A and many of the enterprise tools have high barriers of entry and up-front configuration needed.

Integration into our ERP is a bit clunky as it needs file download and upload. Better integration would be helpful.

The flexibility of the templates you can build and fetch data to allows for this to be easily customized and adjusted on the fly. Once the data has been uploaded, it is relatively easy and simple to use.

The implementation phase has taken longer than we had anticipated, and data errors/incorrect values continue to pop up when comparing to our ERP system that we connected to. However, the support team has been very helpful and for the most part, very communicative with the efforts to correct those issues.

I can’t say enough good things about Cube. From their customer service, to flexibility of the software - it is outstanding. The ease of integration as well as support that you receive from their team, makes the transition very smooth and hassle free. Cube’s variety of functions and versatility of how it can be applied through out the business is worth the money.

Ease of use, integration, customer service, sensitivity

Sometimes software is very sensitive and causes errors in retrieving info, however I completely understand why this sensitivity is there.

I like the ease of use. Along with the ability to integrate the reports/data with google sheets & excel.

I don't have any major complaints at the moment.

Quick time to value - the implementation Cube took a little over two weeks vs. 6-9 month implementation timeline for some other legacy tools. Huge kudos to the customer support team of Cube, they been extremely responsive and helpful in navigating our various system integrations.

Would be amazing to have more pre-built templates and standardized reporting for budget owners as well as more options to customize access for various stakeholder groups beyond FP&A

overall amazing.

ease, customer support, adaptability. Small team friendly

nothing because they have met our expectations

Ease of use! Very user friendly and agile. Suitable for analysis and scenario planning that require quick turn around. Excel-based, so it's very familiar to all of finance folks.

Product still under constant development so it's lacking functionalities and features.

Experience has been great! The best part is how attentive the Cube team is to any questions or issues we might encounter, they reply in a timely matter and help with any issues! Makes my reporting faster and easier.

Cube is very easy to use, the integration with Google Sheets is great! no need to have a separate software installed. I am able to break-out all my forecasting correctly and makes my monthly reporting very easy.

It might take a while to understand how it works at first but once understood there are no issues, it becomes very straightforward and easy to use! The Cube team is accessible and always there to help with any questions.

Cube is very easy to use, its interface is clean, and operating it is intuitive. Cube makes it easy to maintain many accounts/dimensions and to map QBO COA to custom FP&A/Management presentations. Fetching and Publishing data is also very easy. We also very much appreciate the connectivity we have with the Cube team if there are ever instances where we require support or advice.

There isn't really anything that I dislike about using Cube. They are also very open to product feedback and suggestions.

The people are wonderful to work with and are very responsibe.

The data import and export features were indispensable in achieving a quick implementation. Also, I love the time dimension element that really facilitates making sure the equity roll and balance sheet and cash flow calculations work correctly regardless of the time period you're looking at. This product was very thoughtfully built.

I think in the future there will be a SQL-like language that will facilitate analysis. Also, any forecasting or visualization capabilities would be a huge plus.

it is super easy to understand and use for the new users

There is nothing; I am enjoying using Cube till now

Cube has been helpful in automating our FP&A activities such as monthly actuals vs. budget reporting and creating easy-to-use Excel templates to track and monitor KPIs.

Since Cube leverages Excel-based templates, it may require additional work to create various ad-hoc reports and verify that formulas/linking are done correctly.

Ease of building reports and providing insight to our stakeholders on a timely basis.

I don't have any negatives at this point in time.

So far, there is still a lot of exploration to do with Cube, as we just begun our subscription, but so far so good.

The ease of function, and ability to use google sheets/excel as the default format is extremely helpful in integrating this software within our team.

There are features that could be improved on, such as the ability to display multi-currencies for global operations.
