Manager FP&A Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great FP&A Excel Based Software" August 3, 2023 5.0 Overall experience is extremely positive. Everything works as designed with very little "tech" effort on our end. Pros Cube is extremely simple to setup and easy to learn. I've worked with many FP&A tools in the past (IMB TM1 and Biznet are examples), but Cube has been my favorite thus far. TM1 is known as the powerhouse FP&A tool, but came with many tech headaches that required outsourcing of setup to consulting firms. Cube on the other hand was implimented in a matter of days, with no external consultants. The Cube setup team was top notch and was available to answer questions at a moments notice.In terms of functionality, the software is extremely easy to use and took only a few hours to understand. The website portal is very clean and well organized. Adding new date ranges, forecast or budget scenario's are just a click of a button which is a big upgrade compared to the complexity these seemingly simple tasks became with other software I've used.It works great for our month end close process, reviewing P&L details and variance analysis. Data import is just 1 click and data export into excel is quick and easy. Cons There isn't much to not like about Cube, but there are a few small quirks that could be improved. Being able to refresh multiple tabs at once can be a challenge as every month the range needs to be "reselected" if you adjust dates/accounts. Some of my reporting will have 40+ tabs, which means I need to manually select the range for each of these tabs before refreshing data.

It was also much easier to setup and use on a daily basis. Review Source SG Sammy G. FP&A Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Painless and Fun Implementation & Usage" June 21, 2022 4.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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.

Review Source LW Lili W. Controller Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I wish it works " August 24, 2023 3.0 The customer service and account manager are very helpful and responsive throughout the course. However there are still issues with connector between Netsuite and CUBE after over 8 months from signup.  The so-called direct integration hasn't really been working.  It requires manual fix every time after I initiate an uploaded.  The team hasn't been able to troubleshoot the root cause until now.   Pros Easy setup. Excellent customer service. Cons The connector between CUBE and Netsuite is very buggy. It failed to synchronize the data after the upload everytime. It requires additional add on for any large data set. Review Source AL Alex L. Director, Finance Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cube x InStride Review" June 8, 2022 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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 Alternatives considered [Planful](https://www.capterra.com/p/72818/Host-Analytics-EPM-Platform/) Reason for choosing Cube This was my first use of a tool like this and I appreciated the simplicity of how to use the tool and the low price point. Fit in perfectly for our size company. Review Source JL Joyce L. Sr. Associate, Financial Planning and Analysis Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tool that saves FP&A Time from Manual Data Upload/Download " November 7, 2023 5.0 Pros Have been utilizing CUBE for over two years and it's a great tool for FP&A in small to mid-size startups. Easy integration and connector establishment between different financial softwares. Support team is super helpful and conduct regular check-ins with us to ensure we're aware of new features added. CUBE helps save time on manual download and upload of datasets and allow internal stakeholders to drilldown into their expenses whenever they need to. The setup of the dimensions are clear and not overly complicated; and personally love the feature of tags and formulas! Cons Not having a robust headcount planning section within the system. Alternatives considered [Workday Adaptive Planning](https://www.capterra.com/p/130072/Adaptive-Insights/) Reason for choosing Cube Pricing and ease of implementation time; suitable for small to mid-size startups compared to competitors who cater to bigger sized companies with over 300 employees. Review Source BN Bryan N. Director, FP&A Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software for growing businesses" June 22, 2022 4.0 We have been using Cube a little over a year, and it has been a big addition to our previous process. The ability to easily load scenario data to be able to reference back to Plan, Prior Forecast, etc has been invaluable for our reporting. While the tool lacks customizability in some areas (specifically around headcount planning), that can also be a positive, as it is not trying to do too much. The team is very responsive to feedback, and has added features and functionality that we have requested. When comparing to more robust solutions like Anaplan, Cube was a no brainer for our team as we did not want to completely start fresh on our processes - Cube layers onto Excel and Google Sheets seamlessly, allowing us to bring in data where we need and be more flexible with our reporting needs. Pros Cube is very flexible and is easy to layer onto existing worflows in excel and google sheets. It is a fairly lightweight solution that makes reporting and analysis a lot easier. Cons As a growing product, Cube still has a little ways to go with functionality, specifically around headcount/staffing planning and data import functionality. That being said, as a lightweight tool I appreciate that they have not overloaded with unecessary features - the core product works well.

We are a fairly light and nimble team so the ability to quickly make dimension changes, easily load and pull data, and integrate with our existing excel models made this an easy decision. You can't beat it for the price point. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Finance Associate Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for Lean FP&A Teams" June 10, 2022 4.0 Overall, my Cube experience has been positive. In addition to automating reporting and forecasting processes, Cube provides hands-on implementation and ongoing customer success. I believe my team has benefitted tremendously from Cube and has been able to flex its analytical value to the rest of the company with the bandwidth opened up by Cube. Pros \-Integrates with Excel and Google Sheets -Robust push/pull cloud functionality -Easily customizable data mappings -Good value Cons \-Limited features, does the basics well but lacks intermediate functionalities like suppress zeroes -Interface can be clunky at times Alternatives considered [Workday Adaptive Planning](https://www.capterra.com/p/130072/Adaptive-Insights/)[Planful](https://www.capterra.com/p/72818/Host-Analytics-EPM-Platform/)[Vena](https://www.capterra.com/p/131246/Vena/) Reason for choosing Cube Cube met our cost and functionality needs while allowing us to continue working out of spreadsheets Review Source TH Timothy H. Sr. Director FP&A Biotechnology Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I finally found what I've been looking for..." August 8, 2023 5.0 I plan on using this now and at my future companies. Pros It's just the easiest FP&A system to use. I've evaluated and implemented three other system at prior companies. This beats all of them hands down. I'm an army of 1, and the ease of use saves me tremendous time. Cons Nothing. There is always new and better features being released. They make it better on aspects of the products I never thought about.

Superior product in all offerings. Review Source SC Sarah C. Strategic Finance Manager, FP&A Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Flexible, Dynamic Planning Tool!" June 23, 2022 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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.

VP of Finance and HR Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cube worked for our FP&A and reporting needs!" November 21, 2023 5.0 Overall, we are very happy with Cube and the enhanced reporting and analytics it is providing our company. We are very happy with our support and our account manager. Pros We like most the ease of use/familiarity because the base is excel. We like the ease of building reports and the new dashboards. We like that Cube continues to improve and add features. Cons The implementation was a bit difficult because our software did not connect directly but in the end, everything worked out. I do think it is a bit expensive but seems to be at or below large competitors.

June 8, 2022 5.0 The people are wonderful to work with and are very responsibe. Pros 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. Cons 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. Reason for choosing Cube Compatibility of integrations with our existing software ecosystem, features and functionalities, and pricing. Review Source IV Ian V. Manager, FP&A Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cube simplifying data" June 22, 2022 5.0 Pros I really enjoy the ease of use when it comes to pushing and pulling data from excel as well as how easily that transfers over to Google sheets! Implementation of the software was very quick and it was a delight working with their team. Cons The only downsides that I have seen so far are some limitations when it comes to automatic data importing from Sage Intacct. We have a ton of lines of data and only being to review through cube on a summary level can be a bit of a burden sometimes Review Source JF Jesse F. Director of FP&A Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quick set up and ease of use." May 10, 2023 5.0 Pros My favorite thing about Cube is the amount of time I save. Whether it is pulling budget vs actual, filling in templates for board reporting. All of it is done in a single click of a button. Cons The one thing I would recommend is an automatic sync. But the manual Sync only take 3 minutes, so not a huge negative. Review Source AS Andrew S. Head of FPA and Commercial Finance Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Super Intuitive - Best system if your business is not ready to shift from excel" November 14, 2023 4.0 Pros By far have gained the most traction with other areas of the business like sales, operations or marketing as they can intuitively use this embedded in excel vs a new system. Transition and understanding super quick and easy Cons Dashboarding still not intuitive enough like a PowerBI or Tableau No detailed project management tool to track progress of important FP&A projects like budgets, long term plans or rolling forecasts.

Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product, helps drive efficiencies" August 9, 2023 5.0 Pros I like the ease of use.

VP of Finance Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Can't say enough good things about Cube" June 21, 2022 5.0 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. Pros Ease of use, integration, customer service, sensitivity Cons Sometimes software is very sensitive and causes errors in retrieving info, however I completely understand why this sensitivity is there. Review Source MW Michael W. Senior FP&A Analyst Investment Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Big Fans of Cube!" June 8, 2022 5.0 Pros 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. Cons There isn't really anything that I dislike about using Cube. They are also very open to product feedback and suggestions. Review Source AG Aneta G. Accounting Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Time Saver " August 16, 2022 5.0 Cube's customer service is great! They are very attentive and happy to help. Always there to answer my questions so that is much appreciated! Pros Cube has not only saved us hours each month from updating our financials models manually but also decreased the risk of human error. With the seamless QBO integration, we can now present financial data faster to those that need it. As a small team, every minute counts, and Cube has saved a good few hours to focus on other important projects. Cons It can take time to learn how to properly build and edit the fields you need and the online resources could be better. Review Source TR Tim R. Sr. Accounting Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Support, Good Software" June 22, 2022 4.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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 Alternatives considered [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/)[Anaplan](https://www.capterra.com/p/129412/Anaplan/) Review Source AP Andrew P.

Cons There are some minor bugs to be worked out on Importing data and publishing but Cube is activeily working to address these with us Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of Finance Computer Games Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effortless, Seamless Data Surfacing" June 29, 2022 5.0 Ease of use is excellent and second only to the customer support you receive. Account managers have been extremely helpful. Every account manager has a strong finance background vs just being a software/data expert, so they understand what you're finance needs are vs just being an engineer that implements systems Pros Ease of use, interface is very intuitive to any power user of Excel/G-Sheets Cons Still in the infancy stage of usage so we're still unlocking features, but that very satisfied with what we use so far. Review Source AY Anthony Y. Senior Manager, Finance Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Financial Reporting Tool for Startups" November 15, 2023 5.0 Pros Cube is quite fast to get up and running and offers a lot of flexibility with aggregating multiple data sources thanks to integrations with Excel and Google Sheets. Allows for easy template creation to streamline routine financial reporting. Customer support is usually quite responsive and helpful. Cons We could never get an automatic data connection with NetSuite working, so it is always a manual upload process each month. Missing certain features like a headcount planning module or robust forecasting capabilities in order to be an effective end-to-end FP&A platform for larger companies at scale. Review Source Andrea M. GM Finance Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use; great for analysis" May 18, 2023 5.0 Very positive experience. My team can run data and gather insights very quickly. Previously we used 6 different sources of information. Now it is all in one place. Pros The ability to slice and dice information as one source of truth is very important. Cons It did take a little while for this exec to navigate and work out the functionality.
