Because I can work directly in Excel, I can build templates, models, and reports exactly as I need them--without learning new software or new formula syntax. I can move fast and leverage all of Excel's features without being hampered by limitations of other software that tries to duplicate Excel but can never quite get there. DataRails is simple enough that I don't need to waste money on expensive professional services. File management, where every version of a file is saved and tagged automatically for the correct financial period, has turned out to be one of the most underrated features. My budget owners find the weirdest ways to mess up their file or lose data, but with DataRails, I never lose their template and prior work. We have been able to do more in five months on DataRails than five years on our last software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Exporting large volumes of data or directly integrating to BI tools like Tableau could be improved. Permission management is time consuming and highly detailed. I wish there was a better way to lock an entire version with one or two clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Flexibility and ease of use of the tool. Being able to use a combination of datasources (integrations and uploads) means that it is possible to combine different types of data easily and without a lot of technical input.
Our CMS is extremely helpful and responds to all our requests timeously, irrespective of how silly they may be. The implementation was done without signficant technical input from our side, which was a big bonus as a company that runs a very light IT support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For our intended use there were not many downsides. We selected Datarails ahead of other products as it fit our requirements better. It may not have all the predictive or AI based tools that some competitors have, but it delivers very well on the bulk of functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Number of features to be improved, this is only suggestion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Datarails has definately sped up our internal processes. After you learn the new forumuals and how information is tied in, its relatively easy to create or adapt existing reports from excel. We also have very good customer support to help us walk through issues along with mentoring from the sales group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes when attempting to build new dashboards it's hard to tell which fields to drag in, and which fields to exclude. You can spend a long time dragging and dropping fields in and out of the field picker to figure out which ones work and which ones do not work. Our rep suggested that we have the data mapper open when we build dash boards, but it can be cumbersome jumping back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
