“We are able to add non-finanical metrics into the system for reporting faster than we could before and able to get operations different views of the results to help them make decisions faster for the business.“

Group Financial AccountantInformation Technology and Services, 201 - 500 employeesUsed the software for: 6-12 months.

“At times, I found the initial data input a bit confusing. As datarails wants to show everything in a format that is 'positive' on the balance sheet, the concept of the multiplying the liabilities by -1 to get to this was a bit difficult initially and also meant it was a bit difficult to tie back to internal reports as the signage was changed.“

### "Reliable and Secured Product that Enhances Financial Planning and Analysis"

May 8, 2026

5.0

DataRails have been a very positive experience for me and the organization. It has really enhance our sophistication around budgeting and financial reporting. It has create many efficiencies for us to help focus more on the strategy part of financial analytics.

Pros

Datarails have been very helpful in supporting us provide more efficient financial reports and analysis to non financial users. The customer support has been amazing in responding timely and solving our questions/issues. The security is very solid and performance has been extremely reliable. The Drilldown feature is also very helpful for non financial users to get more details to their financial information.

Cons

The AI integration of the software can definitely be improved. I know that there are some AI feature in the works but it will take the produce to new heights if AI can be incorporated in forecasting and more process heavy tasks like budgeting.

### "Loving Datarails"

June 11, 2026

5.0

Fantastic so far. Very excited to see what we can build in this thing over the next year or so as we get more familiar and get more ideas on how to use it.

Pros

The product is amazing and the team is too. It does more than we expected it to and our implementation guy, \[sensitive content hidden\] , is an amazing teacher making it very easy to learn the nuances of Datarails.

Cons

There's a lot of downloading of csv's from the Datarails website which I didn't expect. It's not the end of the world, just filled up the downloads folder quickly.

Pros

Love the fact that we can now connect multiple platforms to Datarails and refresh all the data instantaneously for financial modeling and planning. \[sensitive content hidden\] was instrumental in making our implementation successful. Great support, thank you!

Cons

The implementation took a lot longer than anticipated due to some API connectivity issues between platforms and changes in the team

Fantastic! Sales process was thoughtful and thorough, Implementation was great and now we are off and running!

Pros

It does what we expected it to do! Budgeting, Planning with multiple scenarios, Financial Reporting, and Operational KPI tracking too!

Cons

The only con is just how powerful Datarails actually is - there is a lot to learn to be a skilled user and get the most from the program.

### "The Ultimately Force Multiplier"

June 3, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with the software and representatives from Datarails has been great. The team has been very supportive.

Pros

I loved the flexibility, intuitive nature of Datarails. It is extremely versatile and power, and will undoubtfully be a force multiplier for any organization.

Cons

Parts of the web environment can be clunky and difficult to use. Sometime the connectivity in Excel can be disrupted. Also, having the plug-in can disrupt usage of loading non-datarails Excel files.

### "100% recommend for dealing with lots of data"

June 22, 2026

5.0

Overall I would highly recommend Datarails for any company with large data sets that come in from several different sources and require employees to pull multiple data reports to generate monthly, or any repeating, reports. There are a lot of ways to customize data imported into Datarails and reports generated by Datarails.

Pros

I like how Datarails can automate the data import process and report generation. With Datarails I can set up the reports and data import once and generate our monthly reports in minutes. They also have great representatives who will help you get things set up and teach you how to use Datarails. I have been mostly working with \[sensitive content hidden\] and they have been exceptionally helpful in making sure our data is importing correctly and making sure I know how to use Datarails like a pro.

Cons

We had some issues getting our data to import correctly into Datarails. We are a very security conscious company and that can make our data hard to access even by third parties we want to have access to our data. \[sensitive content hidden\] at Datarails was very great at working with our IT team to find a way to connect to our data, despite the difficulties.

### "One solitary fly in a management accountants integrational panacea"

June 19, 2026

4.0

Overall my opinion is very positive, it is certainly better than the system that it replaced, in terms of ease of use and the variety of scenarios where it can be more easily used. I just need it to be more up to the minute.

Pros

Easily comprehensible and legible formulae for directly integrating our internal accounting system to the formats we use to communicate to the business.

Cons

Our integration only runs once per day outside month end, and once per hour within. This means that if changes are being made close to preparatory meetings we cannot present the actual figures as currently stand in the format that the business is used to.

### "Good product with room to improve. "

May 26, 2026

4.0

It has been more good than bad. The report generation is great and easy to follow. I think it is a good value for the time it would take me making reports on other platforms.

Pros

I like the user interface of Datarails. The website is easy to follow, and it makes planning easy with the workflows feature.

Cons

I am concerned with the security of how we set up the ChatGPT interface. I have had times where I have reached out to customer support and I was instantly passed off to the engineering team with no resolution in sight. We run into random bugs and sometimes that causes crucial delays.

### "Datarails Gives Our Organization the Ability to Unlock Our Financial Data"

June 3, 2026

4.0

The experience has been great. The power of Datarails as a data tool speaks for itself, and the Datarails implementation and integration team has been very supportive to ensure we have the knowledge and data needed to use the platform successfully.

Pros

It's a very powerful tool that is dynamic enough to present all customized cuts of our financial data that we need to drive insights and assist with forward-looking decision making.

Cons

The system and integration is complex, there is a lot of proprietary functions to learn in order to use the system to it's full capability.

July 9, 2026

5.0

10/10! Excellent software, and with the AI Connector we have almost unlimited possiblities to create new reports, run analysis, and increase out productivity!

Pros

With Datarails we have full controll of our PL, BS, CF and ARR. Implementation was very good, working alongside highly skilled people guiding us and solving our needs. When we were done implementing the software the AI Connector was released, and this was another gamechanger!

Cons

The need to reconnect and authenticate a bit to often is a bit annoying, but its a small issue considering how great the product is.

### "A fantastic product with a few quirks"

February 20, 2026

4.0

The customer support has been very helpful. They always come back to you whenever you have a query very quick which is useful. As i said above the systems are great. We have been working on our budget submissions and the way we can all pull the most up to date figure on the system with 100% trust i think is a great USP for this product.

Pros

Everything that you need in one place. no need to worry about file versions or whether the file is most up to date. Its all there and ready to be captured with the entry of a formula. It can also be updated quite easily just by clicking roll forward. Ive used other systems where you have to reconcile a number to the value on the GL which can be time consuming. Datarails allows you to just right click and drill down which i find immensely helpful for my day to day activities as a finance business partner.

Cons

The build at the moment can be a little specific. There are some quirks with the overall system that you need to understand in order to get it to do exactly what you want it to do. I would say that learning curve is not extremely steep but its definately there.

### "Datarails Frees Up Our Time for Meaningful Analysis"

December 18, 2025

5.0

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.

Pros

Datarails makes it so easy to manipulate lots of data, from multiple sources into meaningful reports and dashboards. The initial mapping of the data is easy to learn and quick to do, even with complicated mapping structures. The implementation process with Antonia has been excellent; we've genuinely enjoyed the sessions and found Datarails straightforward to learn. We feel assured that, once the implementation is finished, we'll be fully capable of managing Datarails on our own.

Cons

Like any software, Datarails has its limitations, and occasionally we encounter small quirks that require a workaround. However, these issues have been minor overall.

### "Datarails, your new best friend"

November 7, 2025

5.0

Datarails has saved us significant time each week by streamlining the consolidation of our financial statements. Previously, we managed multiple ERPs with different general ledger account structures and configurations, which meant we spent an excessive amount of time manually consolidating our financials. Now that we have set up all our mappings in Datarails, our financials are consistently consolidated and always reconcile accurately.

Pros

Datarails significantly simplifies the often challenging process of data consolidation, particularly when working with multiple ERPs. The dashboards offer clear and intuitive insights that are valuable to different stakeholders throughout the organization. We've consistently found their customer support to be helpful, and the integration and implementation process has been smooth and positive for us.

Cons

Our primary issue with Datarails is the cumbersome nature of its Excel Add-In feature. While it functions well, Excel workbooks that contain multiple tabs and Datarails references tend to take a long time to load and refresh. We would prefer if the add-on were more streamlined and efficient, rather than feeling so bloated.

### "Great tool for Financial Reporting & Forecasting!"

February 20, 2026

5.0

I personally really enjoy using Datarails - it's been a game changer for the company since it's adoption, particularly as I first encountered Datarails through a marketing post on LinkedIn. Now we use it every day in Finance and has really revolutionised how we work.

Pros

\- Saves time – Automates manual spreadsheet tasks, reducing time spent on data consolidation and reporting. - Improves accuracy – Minimises human error by centralising data and standardising financial models. - Better visibility – Gives real‑time access to financial performance, trends, and KPIs. - Enhanced collaboration – Teams can work from one version of the truth rather than sending spreadsheets around. - Scenario planning – Makes forecasting and what‑if analysis easier and faster.

Cons

\- Slow refresh times – Large datasets or complex models can cause delays when syncing or refreshing. - Dependent on excel – Because it layers on top of excel, issues in spreadsheets can still cause problems.

### "Because of Datarails, I can spend my time analyzing our results now rather than preparing them!"

June 26, 2025

5.0

I had a GREAT experience with Datarails! Due to an aggressive acquisition strategy, my company has tripled in size in the past three years. We have 12 Quickbook companies which meant that closing our books and preparing consolidated reporting was manual and time consuming with limited analytical insights. Prior to the implementation of Datarails, the closing and consolidation process took several days in excel. After the implementation of Datarails, the consolidation process takes only minutes. Even better is that I now have the ability to drill down on our results to gain further insights. \[sensitive content hidden\] , our implementation specialist was AWESOME! I highly recommend Datarails for any private equity backed or rapidly growing company that finds itself bogged down in manual reporting processes. Make sure your request \[sensitive content hidden\] as your implementation specialist!

Pros

The monthly consolidation/reporting process prior to Datarails took several days to complete with limited analytical ability. The consolidation process now takes only minutes and provides ability to easily drill down to analyze our results. Our implementation specialist was incredible to work with and made the implementation as smooth as possible.

Cons

Hard to think of anything...they keep adding new features and services, so the product only getting better!

### "A Game-Changer for Financial Consolidation and FP&A"

March 31, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Datarails has been overwhelmingly positive. It has significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of our FP&A processes. Consolidation is faster, reporting is more reliable, and stakeholders trust the numbers because they know everything comes from a single, consistent source. The automation has reduced manual workload, while the dashboards provide quick, meaningful insight that supports decision-making. The combination of a strong platform and excellent support—particularly from \[sensitive content hidden\] —has made Datarails a major asset to our finance function. I’d highly recommend it to any team looking to modernise and streamline their financial reporting and analysis.

Pros

Datarails has completely transformed how we manage financial consolidation and reporting. The biggest advantage is having a true single source of truth, everything syncs seamlessly, and version control issues have essentially disappeared. The platform’s integration with Excel makes adoption incredibly smooth, and the automated consolidation workflows save significant time. Another major positive has been the implementation manager, \[sensitive content hidden\] , who has been exceptional throughout the process. He’s knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to help with setup, troubleshooting, or optimisation. His support made the on boarding process far easier and more efficient.

Cons

The main challenge lies with the data mapper. While powerful, it does take some time to fully understand how it works, especially when dealing with more complex data structures or mappings. The learning curve can be a bit steep and they've recently added an AI feature, which I haven't personally used yet but should help going forward.

May 4, 2026

Overall, my experience with Datarails has been positive. It has helped significantly with group consolidation across different data sources and made FP&A processes more centralized and efficient, especially by reducing manual Excel work.The platform is strong in automation, reporting, and bringing financial data together in one place. Features like AI-assisted custom columns and Excel-based workflows make it easy for finance teams to adapt quickly

Pros

Overall, the platform has been very helpful for our group consolidation across different databases, making FP&A processes more streamlined and centralized. I’d also like to highlight that our trainer, \[sensitive content hidden\], has been an excellent support and has provided wonderful training throughout the process

Cons

the dashboard in Datarails is limited because it doesn’t consistently support the same widgets for month-wise and cumulative views, which reduces flexibility in reporting

### "Robust System Where You'll Get Out What You Put In"

May 20, 2026

5.0

I was apprehensive at first because we already had the ability to create pretty good reports between our accounting software and Excel, but I pretty quickly realized that Datarails allows us to get through our financial reporting way faster, and is way more flexible for creating advanced reporting for projections, budgeting, and analytics. What you're able to get out of Datarails is only limited by how much you're willing to put into it.

Pros

This is a really powerful tool that significantly improved the speed of our month end reporting. We went from having enormous, clunky Excel files to having a Datarails report package that could be refreshed instantly and didn't crash the computer. The onboarding support is very strong, and they strike a great balance of getting the work done themselves while also leaving enough to my team that we were able to learn the system so we're prepared for go-live.

Cons

It seems like there is a lot of technical work required on the back end to get everything to work the way it should. This comes with the territory of being such a robust program, but if I wanted to make a new report from scratch I think I'd need to rely on their consultants or dedicate a lot more time mastering the system. So far really can't complain though - they've been able to help us create everything we've requested.

### "Datarails Streamlines Financial Reporting with Powerful Dashboards and Excel Integration"

May 13, 2026

5.0

Datarails has helped solve a lot of the inefficiencies that come with manual financial reporting and spreadsheet management. Before using the platform, a large amount of time was spent manually updating reports, consolidating data, and preparing dashboards. With Datarails, much of that process is automated, which has significantly improved efficiency and reduced manual input and the risk of human error. The dashboard visibility has also been a huge benefit because it allows leadership and stakeholders to quickly review financial performance, variances, cash flow, and budget information in a much more organized and user-friendly way. Overall, it has helped save time, improve reporting accuracy, and provide faster access to meaningful financial data for decision-making.

Pros

Datarails has been a valuable tool for improving financial reporting, dashboard visibility, and budgeting efficiency. The Excel integration makes it easy to work within familiar processes while still benefiting from automation and real-time insights. It has helped streamline board reporting, improve financial transparency, and save significant preparation time for our team.

Cons

Honestly, we have not experienced any major challenges with Datarails. The platform has been very helpful for financial reporting, dashboard visibility, and improving overall efficiency for our team. The integration with Excel and the ability to customize reporting has made the process smooth and user-friendly.

March 23, 2026

5.0

Pros

The automation is a game-changer. It has slashed our month-end close and reporting cycles by automatically pulling data from our ERP into one central source of truth. And, what we like most is that it keeps us in Excel. Datarails layers automation over our existing models, meaning we get all the benefits of a robust CPM/FP&A tool without losing the familiarity, flexibility, and power of Excel formulas and spreadsheets

Cons

The Excel add-in can become sluggish or bloated when working with large datasets, multiple tabs, or complex financial models.

### "Great product and great potential once you get through the learning curve"

February 26, 2026

4.0

The product is brilliant and flexible. It does require a learning curve however once built and once trained it can deliver a great model and analytics platform. I am very excited about what we can achieve with our new customer success manager this year.

Pros

The ability to handle such large volumes of data to build very specific models and provide niche analysis is not something I've been able to do outside of datarails. with a complex business being able to have segmented models and bring them together in a streamlined way is so valuable.

Cons

We have quite a complex structure with lots of remapping of segments and departments. The company structure changed and reworking this was quite complex and has caused some bugging issues. Lastly we went through a couple of months with difficult communication and handover when I joined. This has now been completely resolved with our new customer success manager.

### "Great FP&A Tool That Transforms Excel Based Reporting"

May 5, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Datarails has been very positive. It’s a powerful tool for FP&A teams looking to improve efficiency while still leveraging Excel. It has significantly streamlined reporting processes and improved data accuracy, making it a valuable addition to the finance function.

Pros

Datarails integrates seamlessly with Excel, which makes adoption very easy without needing to completely change existing models. The automation of data consolidation and reporting is a huge time saver, reducing manual work and risk of error. The ability to centralize data while still working in a familiar Excel environment is a standout feature. It also offers strong version control and audit trail capabilities, which are very helpful for finance teams.

Cons

At times, the system can feel slightly complex when setting up new reports or integrations, especially for first-time users. Some features require a bit of a learning curve to fully utilise, and performance can occasionally slow down with very large data sets.

Overall very good and has provided great visibility on the financial performance of the Company with less reliance on manual processes or preparation.

Pros

Has saved lots of manual work preparing consolidated accounts at month-end. It has made the monthly sale forecasting process easy to manage, control versions and automatically update rolling forecasts.

Cons

some of the standard widgets for the dashboards could look more visually appealing. It would be nice if the phone APP had more functionality - e.g. ability to change filters.
