A flexible tool that has improved our monthly close FP&A processes
Overall Satisfaction with Cube
We use Cube to assist in our monthly/quarterly FP&A processes, including monthly financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting, and annual planning. Cube allows us to centralize our data and use a single source to pull the underlying details from, streamlining the processes and allowing for quick identification of where issues lie or where discrepancies exist.
Pros
- Provides flexibility with respect to how the reports / templates are organized
- It is easy to create and adjust the dimension hierarchy for accounts
- We can connect to multiple data sources
Cons
- Data uploads from our source ERP timeout sometimes - due to number of transactions - which can be frustrating, and requires follow up with Cube to reset a setting that turns off automatically during timeouts
- Certain features (like suppressing $0 on Fetch) do not exist - however, they are planning to implement those updates (at some point!)
- Would be helpful to be able to schedule monthly uploads of new data from the source ERP system, instead of having to do it manually
- Flexibility of reports you can generate
- Ease of use
- Fairly shallow learning curve
- Positive - Simplified the forecasting process
- Positive - Integrates multiple sources of data into a centralized pool
- Negative - Lots of time spent with support to solve data discrepancies between source data and what Cube imports
