What do you like best about Chargebee RevRec?

We're a software company, so we originally created our own billing software (Advice: Don't ever do this unless you plan to sell it as an Enterprise solution) and within about two years immediately ran into issues due to needing to fight for internal development resources to support it properly. Now we can reply on Chargbee's customer support team and implementation was not difficult. The cost savings by switching to Chargebee over an internal tool we have to maintain was a no-brainer and we use it for all of our invoicing. It saves us a tremendous amount of time compiling invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chargebee RevRec?

This may be caused by our unique organizational practices, but once an invoice is made and posted it is difficult to adjust and we end up just making a separate line item for credit rather than fixing the error because it is easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chargebee RevRec solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can very quickly iterate and develop changes to our billing process without having to go to our internal development team. This has insane benefits as we've changed our pricing model four times in the last year and have had to reconfigure multiple times. Now, the billing team can solely own their software without having to pull development resources away from revenue-generating projects which has not only allowed us to downsize our human resource overhead cost, but meet our other executive goals. It is easy to share access across multiple teams that need billing information, and we're able to link our invoice data to a third-party business intelligence tool like DOMO for the first time.

What do you like best about Chargebee RevRec?

RevRec allows me to easily calculate the Recognized Revenue for every customer we have in Chargebee. I can also calculate it by product, or by subscription. Doing this manually would be a very large task, so I appreciate the time it saves me. It integrates directly into Chargebee and was easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chargebee RevRec?

There are a lot of other features in RevRec that we don't currently use, since we use an external accounting system for most of our reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chargebee RevRec solving and how is that benefiting you?

RevRec gives us more data to use when making business decisions. It saves me the time that would otherwise need to be spent manually putting together revenue recognition reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chargebee RevRec?

The Chargebee RevRec experience was one of our company fully understanding how to capture and use our accounting data. Prior to using any third party platform or serivce, we relied on our tax accountant to develop annualized deferred and accrued revenue schedules to support annual financial statements. We never felt compliant with GAAP and we did not have a strong paperwork trail to support future growth in financial reporting. ChargeBee RevRec provides a technology platform that supports many revenue recognition policies, including our business that is more long-term R&D type contracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chargebee RevRec?

We would like to see more reports that are driven towards financial statement display and also notes and disclosures for GAAP reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chargebee RevRec solving and how is that benefiting you?

ChargeBee RevRec is working to capture the right data in a meaningful way to support GAAP revenue recognition policies. It benefits us by supporting accounting discipline to record and manage our data properly to be able to reliabily support ASC 606. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chargebee RevRec?

It is user friendly, we used it for our SAAS product. Got the figures quite easily. Revenue recoginition, reconcililations, modifications became quite easy for us. Earlier, we used to fill in all the details and extract the data through excel, but chargebee saved our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chargebee RevRec?

Quite expensive. Even more expensive than stripe rev rec. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chargebee RevRec solving and how is that benefiting you?

As someone from SAAS business, our Revenue is completely different from our cash flows. Thus, recognising the exact amount of revenue that too on the basis on different contracts, made the job very easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
