“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.“

“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.“

### "Fast, easy data - all in one place"

March 26, 2026

4.0

We have been using DataRails for over 5 years and use it daily for all of our financial reporting, and because of how much time it saves us, we definitely get our money's worth. It is a highly effective tool, provided your team commits to maintaining clean data mapping.

Pros

Having all of our data in one place - pulling from our ERP, data warehouses, and manual inputs - has been very useful and has significantly reduced the endless manual work the team used to do. There is little friction when setting up new inputs as the layout of the system is pretty user friendly. Files are read quickly by the system so we always have the latest data to hand in a few minutes. Setting up tables within excel is as easy and dragging and dropping your metrics in. We use DataRails daily for all of our financial reporting so we definitely make the most out of the price - customer support and online help is always quick to respond to any questions we have as well. AI integration is coming soon so we are excited to see the further insights it can bring.

Cons

If your data infrastructure isn’t set up or maintained properly, it can create a lot of confusion within the team. That often means spending extra time searching for the right metrics and, in the worst case, reporting the wrong numbers. It’s up to our team to keep the mapping airtight; otherwise, it can quickly turn into a headache when you have to go back and rework the data structure.

### "One-Click Financial Updates That Save Hours"

February 17, 2026

5.0

We are still in the implementation phase, but I'm already reaping the benefits from the ease of consolidation. Our Customer Success Manager, \[sensitive content hidden\] , has been a tremendous partner!

Pros

I used to spend multiple hours pulling down individual pieces of data from our ERP system. With DataRails and the literal click of a button, my financials are updated and ready for review!

Cons

The most challenging thing I've run across is the data mapper and ensuring it is mapped correctly. Our Customer Success Manager, \[sensitive content hidden\] , has been fantastic in getting most everything mapped for us, but I want to ensure I know how it's done for the future. This will just come with time.

Reason for choosing Datarails

My research led me to believe the implementation would be much easier and quicker with DataRails. Additionally, since everything is inside Microsoft Excel, it's much easier to get up to speed.

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

### "Efficient, Logical, and Ready to Elevate Reporting"

December 23, 2025

4.0

Datarails has significantly improved our financial reporting process, making it faster and more structured. The platform’s logic and ease of generating Flash Reports provide excellent visibility, especially compared to Netsuite’s limitations. While there are some technical quirks—like extra steps for certain reports and version control challenges—the overall benefits far outweigh these issues. It’s a powerful tool that helps us deliver accurate insights quickly, and I’m excited to explore more advanced features like charts and custom reports.

Pros

I really appreciate the structure and logic built into the platform. In my opinion, this solution is excellent, especially considering that Netsuite is not the most user-friendly ERP when it comes to reporting. This tool has truly opened up new possibilities for visibility in reporting. What I like most is how easy it is to generate a Flash Report of the financials and how quickly we can dive into specific details.

Cons

I’ve noticed a few technical challenges. Some reports require downloading and refreshing in Excel or recalculating on the platform, which adds extra steps and validations. Collaboration can also be difficult—when multiple users work on the same Excel file, managing updates becomes cumbersome. Additionally, the need to frequently download files creates multiple versions, making it harder to maintain consistency.

Response from Datarails

March 30, 2026

Thank you Alan for the wonderful review! It is great to hear that Datarails has opened up new reporting possibilities, especially coming from NetSuite, and that our reports and drill-downs are making your day-to-day so much faster. Regarding the multiple file copies, Datarails updates changes across connected files in real time and has version control built in. If you are experiencing inconsistencies, it may be worth checking whether files are being opened from saved desktop versions rather than downloaded directly from the platform. Your Customer Success Manager can help troubleshoot and share some pro tips on keeping reports organized. On working with multiple users in the same Excel file, this is a reflection of how Excel works natively and ensures a full audit trail so every change can be traced back to a specific person. We love the ambition to dive deeper into charts and custom reports. We are always adding new features and capabilities, so exciting times ahead!

Great time saver. Helps with complex analysis like PVM and has automated our budgeting. Our monthly financial package is a breeze to complete.

Pros

Great for FP&A and Financial reporting. The financial reporting package is automated, and our budgeting/forecasting cycles are efficient and accurate

Cons

A little more complex than originally thought. Data mapping and formulas can be cumbersome but if your experienced with Excel it should be no problem.

### "Improving Consolidation and Reporting Efficiency"

March 2, 2026

4.0

Overall a good experience although we have not yet gone live. The system is already improving how we manage and consolidate data, and we expect even greater efficiency as we continue building our dashboards etc. Customer support has also been very reliable and helpful.

Pros

the flexibility of Excel but adds structure and automation, making consolidation and reporting far more efficient and reliable.

Cons

A bit of a learning curve at the beginning, and some customisations can take time to configure properly.

February 19, 2026

5.0

Great experience so far with the implementation them especially with Frank, he's very knowledgeable in the product and the Finance needs overall.

Pros

Datarails able to help manage a large numbers of data to generate reporting and Budget. It also help to standardize template and consolidate the information on a cost center based.

Cons

It require a certain level of data knowledge and a high level of reporting knowledge. You need someone in Finance that will maintain and be the super user. Documentation is needed if not the information can become messy very quickly.

### "Datarails is an excellent tool for automating financial reporting package"

February 23, 2026

5.0

When I joined my current organization, the financial reporting was a compilation of literally dozens of exported reports from Quickbooks Online. It was very manual and time intensive. With Datarails, this process was eliminated and we're able to refresh our reporting with a few clicks, allowing for more time to review the numbers themselves

Pros

Datarails offers a seamless integration with Quickbooks online. It allows me to have complete access to all of my financial accounting information directly in Excel, as well as on the web-based portal.

Cons

Nothing of note, it's a great tool for enhancing and automating reporting. The only feature I would like improvements on is speed and nimbleness of drill down functionality.

### "Data Rails Flexibility and Customer Support"

February 20, 2026

5.0

\[sensitive content hidden\] and the other Customer Success Managers have been very hands on and helpful in teaching the system as they assist us in implementing.

Pros

Ease of use, and reliability of the tool. It is a comprehensive FP&A system with a lot of flexibility.

Cons

It's a great tool. It's benefit of leveraging excel language is just a watch-out. The teams may sometimes lean on it too heavily, instead of leveraging all datarails has to offer.

Pros

Cons

### "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.

### "The reporting tool that everyone wants from the other BI platforms but can't match!"

August 21, 2025

5.0

Before Datarails we had to rely on the standard basic reports directly from our ERP and any customized summary reports had many complex manual mappings that often resulted in errors in the data. Now those summaries are all automated and reconciled automatically and it saves a ton of time and low value effort.

Pros

The tool is extremely flexible and really helps automate the manual mapping files that are typically used in summary reports and consolidations. The ability to track version changes and share data across multiple user groups makes the tool very valuable in scenario analysis. Compared to other SaaS companies, I have never had an onboarding experience like Datarails. The team instinctively knew where we wanted to get and efficiently got us to that goal without making the process overwhelming. I was expecting to have to learn a whole new language and buy huge training manuals from Amazon, that could not have been further from the truth.

Cons

Given the complexity of the source data and the functionality of the tool it can be difficult to troubleshoot when you first start using the tool. But again, the implementation and support teams have been right there to support and teach you how to fix those problems. I hope that I can find more time to experiment more in the system to pull in other sources of data to further enhance the forecasting and budgeting processes.

### "Datarails is a great value."

November 3, 2025

5.0

The implementation has been a terrific experience. Our subject matter expert, \[sensitive content hidden\], has been great to work with.

Pros

The integrations with Excel and having Datarails perform the implementation (not a third party). Having data refresh quickly has been a welcomed change from our previous platform.

Cons

I do not have anything negative to say about Datarails at this point. We are nearing the end of the implementation and highly recommend it.

February 7, 2026

4.0

It’s been good. Once fully implemented I expect it to be great. We are about 25% implemented. The remaining plans are much easier to build and roll out now that the foundation has been set up.

Pros

The Excel plug in is fantastic. The fast syncs and data visualizations have been very helpful. We implemented a workflow for our budget development process and it saved us a lot of time.

Cons

It was very long set up before we were able to start working on outputs like dashboards, reports, and forecasts.

### "Datarails - great FP&A tool"

June 19, 2025

5.0

I am very pleased with Datarails and their CSM (customer success manager) which helped us a lot with implementation. I would say their biggest advantage is that their CSMs are all with finance background and have very strong technical knowledge.

Pros

Running a global attraction brand with more than 60 locations in multiple currencies with multiple accounting softwares means a lot of manual work for each month and or any ad-hoc task. With Datarails, all that is starting do automate and we can now focus more on actual insights behind the numbers. With seamless integration with multiple accounting softwares, Datarails made our work a lot easier and helped our business understand its processes even better.

Cons

There are some constraints regarding dashboard creation but they are always working on improving their program so it is getting better each month.

June 27, 2025

5.0

It has been a really good experience. I have found all the Datarails staff helpful, professional and friendly. They understand their product very well and are intent on our success. The product makes analysis very easy and is flexible to our needs. The ease of use allows creating and editing reports to be completely managed inhouse.

Pros

I like the fact it is Excel based. It means you can really hit the ground running as you already understand all off the basics of how it works. I also really like the drill down ability in the P&L and BS showing you all the information you need and where the data has come from. We have a very knowledgeable and helpful Customer Success Manager (\[sensitive content hidden\]) who goes above and beyond to ensure we are getting the very best out of Datarails.

Cons

When updating mapping in the background you can refresh the P&L but you have to then go to the portal and check that the database is updated to ensure the refresh is correct. It would be helpful to see in the P&L if there is still a update process going on in the back ground.

Very satisfied. The datarails support team has always been helpful and professional and I genuinely enjoy using the product.

Pros

One source for our monthly global consolidation. Having a digital workflow schedule ensures that key pieces of our monthly process are not missed and constantly updates me on our progress made/work remaining.

Cons

Losing customer formatting from month-to-month between submitting final versions and downloading the following months filebox work file. I have since found a work-around but it is not as smooth as I would like it to be.

### "Simplified Data Consolidation"

January 24, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience has been smooth as Datarails, especially my designated representative, has made the transition as simple as possible.

Pros

We have several QuickBooks accounts with a holding company. Datarails has made consolidation for financial report outs efficient with ease. QuickBooks lacks categorical break down for job costing for contractors. Datarails has allowed for a clearer picture for margin analysis at a Labor, Purchase Services, Materials and Equipment level. We also integrated our operations system with this tool.

Cons

As the company using the Datarails you must create your own reports. Templates are provided in general, but typically you must customize your own reports to what you need in particular.

Still implementation phase, but going very well and savings 10 hours of manual input time per month so far!

Pros

Saves tons of time. Eliminates data entry tasks which took 10+ hours per month. Now it all happens with the click of a button!

Cons

Lots of work on integration and was expensive. So far, it appears to be worth the effort. Took about 2 months to get it up and running fully.

### "Useful Aggregation and Reporting Tool"

December 31, 2025

4.0

The tool is useful for aggregation of financial data and creating financial reporting. Response times and customer service from my implementation manager \[sensitive content hidden\] have been fantastic. Use of the product certainly reduces manual manipulation of data to aggregate from different ERPs, however, by solving this problem there are other areas that require investment such as communication with the Datarails team to stay on the same page about data sources and calculations. Use of the product requires getting up to speed on the environment and features in Excel. I think these areas are intuitive enough for a finance person but potentially a little steep for a casual user outside of FP&A (even if just using in Excel). The product does its job well, if you are lacking in top notch Excel talent or data sources are unwieldly this software can provide significant value at the fraction of what it would cost to make a new hire with the requisite skills.

Pros

\- Automated aggregation of data from different ERP sources. - Allows user to work within excel framework. - Pre-populated templates get you started.

Cons

\- Data import from older sources can be unreliable and require support from IT, reducing autonomy for finance team. - Online environment and Excel features have a bit of a learning curve. - Handing over data aggregation and calculation reduces knowledge of outputs and creates reliance on a third party. Datarails team uses best practices and executes at a high level but you still need to make sure you are on the same page about terms and calculations.

Response from Datarails

March 30, 2026

Thank you Evan for the thoughtful review! We are glad the automated aggregation, Excel framework, and pre-populated templates are delivering value, and that our team has been responsive and executing at a high level. On the older data source challenges, Datarails has a strong track record with historical data, and reliability issues with imports typically stem from the source systems themselves, mainly QBD or SQL servers. Your Customer Success Manager can help identify where the friction is coming from and find the best path forward. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can help with!

### "Powerful Custom Reporting and Financial Model Management"

February 19, 2026

5.0

Overall, Datarails has been a valuable tool for our finance team, improving visibility, collaboration, and reporting flexibility.

Pros

Datarails has been a strong addition to our finance stack. We really appreciate the flexibility of custom reporting and dashboards, which makes it easy to share insights in the format our team and stakeholders need. It’s also valuable to have a centralized place for all of our key inventory and financial models, improving collaboration and reducing version control issues. Overall, it’s helped streamline our reporting and financial workflows.

Cons

Implementation took longer than expected, particularly because Datarails has more experience with industries other than CPG, so some workflows required additional customization and alignment. That said, the team was responsive and supportive throughout the process.

Very well. Excellent training with \[sensitive content hidden\] . She was very well versed in the product and made training always engaging. She also would go out of her way to look into issues outside of her normal working hours to assist.

Pros

The functionality and customization of financial reporting. The use of dynamic ranges and lookups are super helpful and not found in many other reporting software.

Cons

Sometimes the dynamic ranges can act up where they have to be removed and setup again...they'll just stop working.

It is also wonderful to hear such kind words about your trainer. Going above and beyond outside of working hours to help resolve issues is exactly the dedication we strive for, and we will make sure to pass that along to her!

It was a great experience - set up was a seamless process supported by \[sensitive content hidden\] who was brilliant. The output is exactly what our business is looking for and we will be able to save a lot of time in month end with our automated FP&A system rather than using the old excel model

Pros

\- Excel Add in / Functionality - lots of software require you to use their clunky software - Ease of use - Automated - Ability to manipulate the data yourself

Cons

\- Behind the scenes pieces were a bit clunky and took time to get right - DR Get formulas can sometimes be tricky to write - Cashflow/Cash Management wasn't included as part of the standard package

5.0

Datarails is helping us standardize our reporting and making it easier for us to see the various cuts of our data. With datarails, we will be able to create more impactful reporting for the team faster and more accurately.

Pros

Datarails is a great tool to organize and report on the financial data of your organization. I appreciate how it can integrate with Excel so well. It has a multitude of helpful features, and I'm looking forward to using it to expand and standardize the reporting for my organization. Aggie has been a wonderful expert and teacher for the product.

Cons

Because of how in-depth the reporting can get, there is a bit of a learning curve/a significant amount of upfront time investment to learn the platform and validate the initial reports created.
