Vena reviews from public forums

“Stay far, far away. I just got our templates to a usable point almost a year after implementation started.”

“Went through 80% of an implementation (before leaving for a new role) and was very unimpressed.”

“How do I tell my boss it’s time to give up on Vena?”

Users liked the Excel-based approach because it fit their current workflows. But they didn’t like the long setup times, the need for too many consultants, or being forced to use fixed templates. So, PivotXL built a simpler and easier model.
