Pros

“We particularly valued the ability to consolidate data from multiple sources, automate recurring reporting processes, create dashboards for executive and board-level reporting, and maintain version control without completely rebuilding our finance workflows.”

Chase C.

Vice President Financial Planning and Analysis

“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.”

Robert S.

Senior Manager

“The seamless use, when everything is set up and mapped, it cuts down processing times and reporting deadlines came forward, it's UI is very intuitive and easy to use, I've not personally encountered any bugs or issues that weren't down to errors in the data itself, this has made budgeting and financial month end processes seamless and I would recommend Datarails to any business that has lengthy data processing times”

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”

“The excel add-in can be a bit buggy, the software has some confusing duplicative interfaces that I haven't figures out and sometimes the software is slow to fully sync new data across users.”

Jackson D.

Director, Corporate Finance

“Fonts, font sizes, and formatting options aren't as flexible as I'd like especially for KPI widgets where getting a consistent look takes more effort than it should. When you're building dashboards for senior leadership, those small formatting details matter more than you'd think.”

Aaditya J.
