In general, it's really improving FP&A life and increasing quality in general. Pros It's easy to use environment, very intuitive. Planning process is way faster, easier consolidation process, increased data accuracy, process automatization. Farseer is expected to be a single source of truth for us. I like flexibility which supports both top-down and bottom-up planning approaches. Cons Still waiting fo AI assistant to help with analytics as currently only numerical deviations are available. As well more development on dashboard sides and no posibility to colour and bold fonts and cells in reports. Review Source NV Nataša V. Head of finance, reporting and consolidation Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Farseer slashes consolidation from weeks to days " November 7, 2025 5.0 Great experience that made me think over already set up processes. Smart, easy to use solution that saved time and money and reduced chance of mistakes. Pros simple, easy to use, gives concise information. Gives structured, reliable, and ready for use information. Cons Implementation process took time mostly by our mistake (user internal structure reasons) but many pros let you forget about cons. Review Source R Reviewer Deputy Head Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great reporting and planning tool" November 6, 2025 5.0 Before Farseer we used multiple Excel files for reporting and planning. It consumed a lot of our resources and prone to errors. We chose Farseer because we needed a system that could handle complex models and enable real-time collaboration across multiple teams. Today we use it for management reporting, financial planning and consolidation. The biggest benefits are: the flexibility in creating new models and entities, the fact that the whole team works on the same data, easy consolidation and great customer support. It reduced our reporting and planning efforts and enabled us to focus on analysis and support Pros Flexible reporting and planning modelling, versions comparisons, real-time collaboration across multiple teams, customer support Cons Visualisation of data in version that we are currently using, however in new version release there are significant improvements. Review Source Viktor H. Head of Corporate controlling Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great FP&A software worth having" October 14, 2025 5.0 Overall our transition from excel based budgeting/forecasting was generally painless. After working very briefly in the tool people began to understand all the benefits and embraced Farseer as a new way of working. We are glad that we chose Farseer because the implementation team was great, guys worked quickly and listened to our needs. Pros Farseer has significantly sped up and simplified our forecasting process compared to what we were used to. It required us to adopt a more structured approach to budgeting, which has greatly improved our workflow. Now, our discussions are centered on the budget itself rather than spending time formatting Excel spreadsheets. Additionally, Farseer was much more affordable than many other competitors. Cons There aren't many issues, but there are a few aspects that I believe will be addressed over time. Farseer is still a relatively new product developed by a small team, so it's understandable that there is still some work ahead. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Financial department senior Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "User friendly and flexible" November 4, 2025 4.0 Great cooperation with the Farseer implementation team, their understanding of our schedule and team changes. Pros As we have still not implemented it completely, most of all I like the perspective and possibilities. Cons The flexibility and easy access. Possibility of bringing the different aspect of the business together on one platform. Review Source Marko O. Controlling manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "My experience with Farseer" November 4, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Farseer has been very positive. All the data we need for reporting and planning is centralized in one place, which makes our work much more efficient. The application is easy to use and intuitive, and the modeling process is straightforward. It’s a powerful custom-made tool that really fits our specific needs. Pros What I like most about Farseer is that it's a custom-made application we built entirely based on our own needs, and that it's very easy to use. Cons Some of the models we implemented ended up being a bit too complex, which now limits the level of automation we can achieve. However, this is not a limitation of the software itself, but rather a result of how we initially set things up within the application. Review Source R Reviewer Controlling Specialist Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Simplified and accelerated planning process" October 15, 2025 5.0 Farseer has streamlined our entire planning process. It replaced manual Excel-based planning with a centralized, automated system that ensures data consistency and accuracy. By eliminating formula errors and version conflicts, it has made our plans far more reliable. The main benefits are a much faster planning cycle, better data transparency across departments, and significantly less time spent on manual checks and corrections. Complex models are easier to manage, and updates flow smoothly between sheets, which saves both time and effort. Pros I’m satisfied with Farseer because it has significantly accelerated the planning process and eliminated errors that previously occurred due to incorrect formula references. Cons Some of the more complex models take a bit longer to load. No undo. I’m missing a visual overview of the model — it would be helpful to see the structure and relationships between sheets more clearly.

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. Review Source R Reviewer Project mng Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Makes it easy to recommend" January 12, 2023 5.0 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. Review Source Mario M.

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.

Senior Specialist Strategic Planning and Business Development Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "New to farseer, happy at the moment" October 14, 2025 5.0 It’s okay for now — it requires quite a bit of data preparation in Excel before import. Adding new members to dimensions is easy, and the variable editor is simple and functional. Pros Excellent support from the consultants — they show great understanding and patience. Simple data import, Excel-like formulas, copy-paste from Farseer to Excel and vice versa. Spread-sheet link functionality that does not require licence. Cons No undo functionality, no graphical display of dimensional model, GUI can be sluggish sometimes, but simple refresh will amend situation. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Demand Planner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Easy to use customizable solution for S&OP forecast & demand planning" February 22, 2023 5.0 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.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Assistant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great planning solution" February 27, 2023 5.0 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. Review Source R Reviewer Global Head of Stock Planning Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Very good tool, fully recomended" June 28, 2022 5.0 Overall experience with Farseer is excellent because following reasons: 1.

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.

Review Source R Reviewer CFO Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Tool that replaced Excel for us" February 22, 2023 5.0 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. Review Source R Reviewer Risk & Controlling Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Farseer - The most intuitive and flexible planning software" February 11, 2021 5.0 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.
