"From Skeptic to Believer..."

5/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

The platform's ability to centralize multiple data sources seamlessly. We integrated two EHR/ERP systems, Paycom for HCM, and two other applications, and Datarails was able to crosswalk our chart of accounts historically to connect financials and aggregate data without losing anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

The UX sometimes gets glitchy when utilizing the 'Storyboards' narrative tool if you don't size or format the visuals to the board's native architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Datarails solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an ASC with BI coming from multiple sources, we needed a platform that could truly integrate everything, not just promise it. Datarails centralizes our disparate systems, connected to historical financials, and is on its way to giving us a single source of truth for budgeting and forecasting. It's eliminated the manual visual build-out headaches and freed up time for actual FP&A discussions. The dashboards have also simplified executive visibility into key clinical and operational metrics, making it easier to keep leadership aligned without building custom reports from scratch.

"Datarails Transforms Financial Analysis with Powerful Data Mapping"

5/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

Previously, I worked at a company that had not invested in an FP&A tool, so I had to develop a complex mapping system in Excel to analyze month-end results and support better business decisions. Datarails has proven to be incredibly helpful in building that kind of mapping system, and with the right integrations, I am able to organize and examine my data exactly the way I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

The only consideration is getting buy-in from your non-finance users and having them properly understand what datarails is. What pieces of info are real time and what needs an asterisk next to it until the month is finalized. What is the difference between an FP&A tool and a data warehouse, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Datarails solving and how is that benefiting you?

Datarails has helped reduce the burden of repetitive monthly tasks that often lead to manual errors. Now, I can dedicate more time to identifying accounting mistakes during the close process and focus on analysis rather than just data production. This shift allows me to spend my time answering questions that drive high-impact work. In essence, I am able to truly perform my FP&A role, rather than getting bogged down in the time-consuming, bare-minimum workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for taking the time to share, Joseph! We’re glad Datarails is helping you build the kind of flexible data mapping you need and giving you more control over how you analyze your results. It’s great to hear it’s reducing manual work and freeing you up to focus on high-impact FP&A work instead of repetitive tasks.

"Datarails is an excellent tool for automating financial reporting package"

5/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

Datarails offers a seamless integration with Quickbooks online. It allows me to have complete access to all of my financial accounting information directly in Excel, as well as on the web-based portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

Nothing of note, it's a great tool for enhancing and automating reporting. The only feature I would like improvements on is speed and nimbleness of drill down functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Datarails solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I joined my current organization, the financial reporting was a compilation of literally dozens of exported reports from Quickbooks Online. It was very manual and time intensive. With Datarails, this process was eliminated and we're able to refresh our reporting with a few clicks, allowing for more time to review the numbers themselves Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Support and Real-Time Reporting with the Excel Add-In"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

The customer experience at Datarails has been excellent. From initiation and data integration to going live, I have found our contacts have been very helpful and responsive whenever we have a query. Always fixing, recommending a fix or directing us to Datarails education sources which has been very beneficial.

Datarails has enabled us to do real time updates on our reporting really easily through the excel add in. This has sped up all of report generation and presentations to management.

The drill down function has been particularly helpful as any questions raised, using this functions allows us to get to an answer quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

At times, I found the initial data input a bit confusing. As datarails wants to show everything in a format that is 'positive' on the balance sheet, the concept of the multiplying the liabilities by -1 to get to this was a bit difficult initially and also meant it was a bit difficult to tie back to internal reports as the signage was changed. However, I do understand why this is being done for presentational reasons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Datarails solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to use Datarails to create all of the reports we had existing which was great as for management this was a seamless transition from our old software. It is easy to create new reports and I would recommend Datarails as software. The real time nature of Datarails has also been hugely beneficial especially at month end. We are also able to compare to budgets/ forecasting relatively easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chanel Itzhaki Ganor of Datarails

It is great to hear that the implementation process went smoothly and that our team proactively helps answer questions as they come up. We love that the Excel add in and drill down capabilities have helped speed up reporting and make it easier to answer questions in real-time.

Regarding the balance sheet signage, we get it. It can take a moment to get used to the positive presentation and the use of the -1 multiplier when first working with the data. We do our best to keep the experience as close to Excel as possible, though there are a few technical constraints behind the scenes that require this approach. Luckily, most teams find that once they get used to it, it becomes second nature.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback and experience!

"Flexible, Excel-Friendly, Great visualization with Helpful Drill-Downs"

4/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

I like the flexibility and familiarity of Datarails, especially since it works seamlessly with Excel sheets. Being able to drill down into the details without having to log in to a different system—both from the dashboard and directly in Excel—is really helpful. I also appreciate that it comes with illustrations, which is a great touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

Sometimes Datarails has downtime, or what seem like bugs. When that happens, I have to close all the files and restart my laptop to get things working again. It would also be great if Datarails had customer support and a developer team based in Asia, so it’s easier to connect with them and resolve issues more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great to hear that working in Excel and being able to drill into details from both dashboards and spreadsheets has been helpful for your workflow.

Regarding occasional downtime or issues, we appreciate you mentioning this. If something like this happens again, your Customer Success Manager or our support team can usually help troubleshoot quickly.

While we may not always be in the same region, our Customer Success and support teams work across multiple time zones, so there is almost always someone available to help. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review!

"Real-Time Multi-Source Sync with Flexible Outputs and Strong Excel Integration"

4/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

I am enjoying the syncing of multiple data sources and having access to them in real time. The option to output data in multiple formats such as visualizations, reports, and storyboards is great. Lastly, the integration with Excel is unlocking powerful leverage from our data and combining it with the functionality of Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

The pricing structure of seat types is challenging. I would love viewer seats in bulk so outputs can be distributed without limiting workarounds. On the foundational side, it’s challenging that changes to data mappers are not automatically updated through out existing dashboard and reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chanel Itzhaki Ganor of Datarails

edit

Thank you Stephen for the thoughtful review! We are glad to hear that real-time multi-source syncing, flexible outputs, and the Excel-native integration are making a real difference for your team.

If you want to distribute outputs to non-viewers, Datarails has a solution for that. The recommended option is Export as Values, which converts the sheet to static values so it can be viewed without platform access. Check out the link below for details, and if you are not seeing that option, your Customer Success Manager can quickly show you how it works.

We would also love to connect on the Data Mapper feedback, as there may be some dashboard settings around automatic date updates that could resolve this. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager and we will make sure you are getting the most out of the dashboards.

"Effortless Implementation and Seamless Excel Integration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

We are currently in training mode in our data rails journey. The ease of use and implementation are big stand outs for me. Along with the seamless integration into and with Excel. With a working understanding of Access, Pivot Tables and other more advanced Excel data calculations, the potential of Data Rails to assist us in delivering accurate and end user focused solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

There is an element of coding (and understanding the coding logic & infrastructure) with which I need to familiarize me with. This is to be expected and it's not really a "dislike" per se but it is - initially - a challenge. I also would prefer to NOT be the person controlling the mouse during training as I find myself clicking to keep the sessions going rather than taking notes, minor but noteworthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Datarails solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have an antiquated accounting system (MIP) and a very static, excel based financial reporting system. So, Datarails is changing that by making it more dynamic and interactive. It is also giving us an insight into future reporting that is not bound my the above limits and allowing for more creative thinking about how do and how we will posit future financials for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chanel Itzhaki Ganor of Datarails

Thank you for such a positive review, Greg! It is great to hear that the ease of implementation and Excel integration are standing out, and we love that you are already thinking creatively about future reporting possibilities.

On the coding logic, that learning curve is completely normal and you are not alone in feeling it early on. It is worth checking out our new built-in AI Assistant for Custom Columns, which can help make that side of things feel a lot more approachable. Check it out in the resource link below.

Regarding the training sessions, the hands-on approach is intentional so you get the most out of each session. Our pro tip is if you request AI summaries to be added to your sessions, you can stay fully engaged and still walk away with great notes afterwards. Onwards and upwards, Greg!

"Impressive Speed and Drill-Down Reporting That Makes Day-to-Day Finance Easier"

5/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

The speed at which you can pull data and slice and dice it from our financial system is impressive. It’s given us the ability to create reports and roll-ups that would have been a distant dream in the past. It did take us a while to get used to, and we’ve been using it while also building our budget within it, but now I KNOW it’s going to make our day-to-day so much easier going forward. I also LOVE that you can drill into balances to get transactional-level detail, rather than having to go back to our system to analyse it. WIN WIN! Our implementation provider Mihir was excellent and so helpful at taking our dilemmas about how to do something in Datarails and giving us a practical method Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

It’s really annoying that Datarails is so sensitive to capitalization and lowercase. I wish it could simply default the parameters to one or the other, so I don’t have to worry about case differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It is great to hear that Datarails has helped transform the way your team handles financial reporting. Being able to quickly pull, slice, and dice data, and drill all the way down to transactional detail, is exactly what we built it for.

We'll definitely pass your kind words on to Mihir. It is great to hear he made such a positive impact during your implementation and helped turn your challenges into practical solutions. We are lucky to have him on the team!

Looking forward to continuing to support your team with Datarails.

"Effortless Report Consolidation and Streamlined Workflows"

5/5

What do you like best about Datarails?

One of the standout features of Datarails is its ability to consolidate multiple reports from a variety of sources. Whether you are working with dashboards or financial statements—customized or standard—everything can be updated quickly and efficiently, as long as the data mapping is set up correctly and the data flows automatically. My favorite feature is the Workflows function, which lets me assign tasks to several stakeholders. They can make their updates, submit their work, and then I can review everything before finalizing the report. This process is especially helpful for conducting monthly forecasts, particularly when a SIOP process is integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datarails?

If the data sources structure change, the mapping needs to be redone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
