OnPlan Reviews

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his team have been great in creating this solution for automated spreadsheets on the fly and also CFO like resources on a dashboard. I look forward to using this prominently as we continue to grow and eventually have this automated as planned thus making a CEO's life a lot easier. One thing I hate doing is updating spreadsheets even with a static template. This solution will be dynamic and ultimately make things more efficient for us accordingly.

Too early to tell as we are about to use it in more detail in the coming weeks.

As we continue to evolve and grow as a company it has become increasingly important to be able to forecast sales, profit and cash flow. We were using Planning Maestro, and although a very robust product, it was extremely difficult to adapt it to our exact needs. The OnPlan team was able to quickly understand our needs and turn this into a "custom" model that we now use on a daily basis to forecast...

Although the reporting and charting is robust and good for general management reporting, it could benefit from some Power BI (or Google equivalent) type functionality. Having said that, and after getting to know the team, I am confident that they will continue to grow and improve the product. I am excited to see what is coming up..

Ease of creating reports to provide to the financial team.

It was difficult to get set up and integrate with QB Enterprise.

The sales person did a good job selling a product that did not work.

Slow in calculating, updating changes because of multiple sheets in Google sheets file. About 1-2 minute delays each time you make a change. It took 6 months to replicate my existing excel files, that did not flow properly. Makes scenario planning impossible. They charged [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for a budgeting tool that I couldn't use even after 6 months. If you have Sage Intacct: OnPlan is not a partner. There will be an additional fee from Intacct to integrate with OnPlan. Their team tried alternative ways to connect which were trial and errors at best. They are not familiar with Sage Intacct. Their team admitted: "OnPlan take accountability for delays on our side too, too many factors to consider to not entirely understanding her needs, system issues, integration, etc…."

From day one the team at On plan assigned us with a technical [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who helped us set up our QuickBooks in a matter of seconds. Onplan allowed us to integrate our financial reporting with our CRM platforms (Hubspot) and GUSTO (Payroll) very efficiently The platform connected to our google sheet and excel models seamlessly and we took control of our financial planning, analysis, and reporting The platform allowed us to quickly provide our investors with accurate monthly reporting and beautiful dashboards that helped us build a solid financial infrastructure in one place

Overall the product is 5-star AA+ and the team at onplan managed to update certain formatting features that we requested very fast

OnPlan sets a new benchmark for ease of implementation and time to value. I was on a team that implemented OnPlan for a division in a well know SaaS company. The beauty of OnPlan is that it allows a user to take an existing Excel financial model and ingest it without changing the logic. Our time of implementation was three weeks from start to finish rather than the six months that is typical of heavier ERP systems.

There are a couple of UX/UI things that I think can be smoothed out, but overall a very polished software.

OnPlan's ability to rapidly generate budget versus actuals is the best of any CPM software that I have used. The user interface is clean and modern and feels like a big upgrade over Adaptive Planning. Also, the native integration with Quickbooks online worked seamlessly.

The connection to Google Slides was a bit rough around the edges.

The data visualizations are excellent. I can change a few revenue or expense variables (or both) and immediately see the impact to key metrics. The model ensures that the analytics are correct and I don't have to worry about an Excel cell somewhere deep in my old model throwing the whole thing off.

I don't have the time or skills to make changes to my model so sometimes I rely on OnPlan's staff to adjust it. However, their staff is extremely knowledgeable about SaaS financials and metrics and is all over it when I need something, including the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].

Our team picked OnPlan after researching other tools including Adaptive Planning and Vena. Ultimately, we chose OnPlan because of its compatibility with Excel and Google Sheets. We liked that OnPlan integrates with Quickbooks and Hubspot and improves on Excel's lack of audit trail, version control, access control, scenario planning etc. Also, was very happy with OnPlan's customer support and responsiveness.

There was a bit of a learning curve with OnPlan - but most of it is very similar to Google Sheets and Excel. Once you have learned the platform, reporting becomes much easier.

We were referred to OnPlan via another agency. The application is highly flexible and allows for modeling many different scenarios for revenue and cash flow. It is also extremely configurable and allows for creating custom dashboards for things like Global KPIs, Revenue, Sales, Expenses, Staffing/Headcount needs, our Cash Dynamics, and Benchmarks. It also imports from several accounting platforms like Quickbooks and Xero; crm data from Salesforce and Hubspot, your own data sources, and your own custom models. These features allow for us to get several complete pictures for different outlooks and outcomes.

There is a lot of functionality and as someone who isn't a CFO it can be a bit daunting. That said, the time you invest learning the functionality is well worth it.

The OnPlan interface is truly solving for us the most nagging problems of spreadsheets. It allows us to have the best of both worlds: with OnPlan, we maintain the flexibility of spreadsheets, but without some of the major pains. Unlike other systems where the possibilities of configuring the financial reporting and financial modeling remained limited or extremely cumbersome, using OnPlan we are able...

Like any new software, OnPlan is quickly evolving and continuously improving, therefore not all their functionalities are fully developed yet. So we appreciate the dedication of OnPlan’s service team, to help us get the results we need for our clients, even when some of our requests are still on OnPlan development roadmap...

There are a number of key features for me: * ability to quickly run as many scenarios as I want, and to compare these to each other * import my actuals and see transaction level detail from Quickbooks * flexibility to set up the model the way I want it - rather than being forced into certain templates

The OnPlan team seems to be rolling out new features all the time. One of the features I'd like is improved summary tables in dashboards. The team has listened to this and these are in the process of being rolled out - one of the advantages of dealing with a new and enthusiastic company.

I like the ability to add our monthly financials from Xero and the different tools to forecast scenarios. It's easy to show company stakeholders "what-if" scenarios, for example, what if we grow 6% MoM versus a profitable model versus a 15% MoM growth model that's not profitable. Its also a lot easier to input information compared to a traditional Excel spreadsheet.

There are some integrations coming down the pipeline that I'm interested in, but no real issues.

Before OnPlan, smaller companies like mine would need to hire an outsourced CFO for $10-20k to help us build a model. Given that their models are almost always off the shelf, that price seemed ridiculous but no other option seemed to exist. OnPlan solved that problem and now I can manage and manipulate my own financial planning model without any CFO or financial expert.

While OnPlan makes it very easy to manage my financial plan - especially compared to other options - I'd still like it to be even easier to use.

Quick, highly flexible and detail model implementation. Easy to use, you can quickly create different what if scenarios or custom dashboards to track your KPIs.

Software is new and there are many new features to come out. Variances on the graphs are not available.

OnPlan is easy to use. Implementation was quick and easy. It is a highly flexible financial modeling tool.

While OnPlan has many templates available, I would like to have even more templates available.
