What do you like best about Drivetrain?

- Reporting: Drivetrain has allowed us to automate a majority of our financial reporting, from board decks, monthly closes, flux analyses, BvAs out to budget owners, etc. It has already saved us significant time, only a handful of month after beginning the implementation process.

- Powerful & Flexible Forecasting Capabilities: Drivetrain has very flexible forecasting models that allowed us to build our entire forecast, from top-line, expenses, balance sheet & cash and all be interconnected with eachother & our other systems. The formula writing is intuitive and has a short learning curve when transitioning from excel.

- Implementation: The implementation team has exceptional expertise and provides fantastic customer support. The implementation was smooth and we were up and running with all of our finanical models, custom dashboards and reports in a few months. The team was always available and great to work with.

- Integration:We were able to integrate seamlessly with our key systems, Salesforce, NetSuite & GSheets. This integration streamlines our financial processes and ensures that data flows smoothly between different systems.

- Collaboration: As a Finance team member I wanted a tool that serves all of my forecasting & reporting needs, but also wanted something that would allow for cross-functional collaboration. Drivetrain's reports are perfect for this with features like tagging people in comments, user level restrictions, customizable & visually appealing graphs, charts & tables.

- User-Friendly Interface: One of the standout features of Drivetrain is its intuitive interface. It's incredibly user-friendly, making it easy for both finance professionals and non-finance stakeholders to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

I have yet to encounter any issues with the platform that the customer success team hasn't taken back to their team and included in their next round of product updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Drivetrain is automating our financial forecasting, reporting & KPI tracking. These three items have been a massive time-saver for us already as they use to involve a lot of manual effort and are now updating in real-time. Drivetrain is also consolidating data from multiple different sources to provide non-finance stakeholders a one-stop shop for getting the information they need. We are also using it for headcount management with hiring plans being available to the approriate hiring managers within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Drivetrain?

My overall experience with Drivetrain has been great. The tool is extremely easy to use and very intuitive. Producing new reports is seamless and user friendly. The implementation took ~ 3 months and was quite smooth. The DT implementation team made sure that the platform was up and running in time for our planning cycle. Additionally, Rohit who lead the implementation, has been incredibly responsive, collaborative, and made sure that the tool met our needs. We're now using Drivetrain daily and look forward further driving adoption of the tool across our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

There are a few minor cosmetic suggestions I've made to the DT team. Our feedback tends to be well received and updates are made within the tool quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

components/structure of platform takes some familiarization; build-out of certain models requires hand-holding or implementation from Drivetrain team versus self-serve. Have experienced numerous bugs/issues but they've been very quick to be resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Users can conveniently generate comprehensive reports with multiple metrics in a single view, organize their views using folders, perform detailed analyses by drilling down into individual metrics and effortlessly create Boards from Views.

Support from Drivetrain is best in industry. I have used multiple platforms, but the SLAs for Drivetrain are least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Throughout its evolution, this platform has undergone significant improvements.

Currently, the platform's formatting capabilities are somewhat limited. Nevertheless, given the impressive array of features and functionalities it offers, it remains a worthwhile investment, and I'm optimistic that further formatting enhancements will be incorporated over time.

What do you like best about Drivetrain?

The system is easy to navigate and has really helped us streamline and automate our consolidated financial reporting. It has resulted in significant time savings at month end, as well as additional transparency into metrics throughout the month given the live link into our ERP systems. The tool does a ton- reporting, dashboards, metrics- and has a very knowledgeable onboarding team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

It takes a bit of time to figure out how DT works in setting up new models or data sets and how everything connects. The implementation team was very knowledable and able to answer our questions but it does take a bit of time to figure out where things need to be updated or how data flows into the tool.

What do you like best about Drivetrain?

I have used several FP&A platforms and Drivetrain is the best I've used because we can model at a very granular level (vendor, department, etc.) without much effort and create digestible reporting outputs. Models actualize with accounting actuals ase with a click of a button. The ability to connect multiple data sources is very helpful as we leverage other department data to drive certain aspects of the financial model and monitor business KPIs. Reporting is very clean and the ability to create and distribute dynamic dashboards has been impactful for our team. Creating different access levels is a breeze. This is the first platform I've used where I've felt comfortable getting rid of the "backup" excel model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

Nothing significant, few things could make navigation even easier but Drivetrain team listens to feedback and pushes regular, thougthful updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As we are growing quickly, we needed a FP&A tool that will help us create detailed financial models quickly that leverage prior data and different assumptions. We have a lot of data in the business (Accounting System, CRM, Outbound Sales Tools, Dev Tools). Being able to connect data into one platform to drive thoughtful financial planning has been a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Drivetrain?

The Platform is super flexible with creating new dashboards and reports. This flexibility contiously has my mind running in terms of other ways we can utilize it. Additionally, it is easy to understand how to use and the Support Team is stellar, especially Dheeraj. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

Sometimes I wish Drivetrain had everything already created and our data was dropped into it, rather than us continously refining and building out the product for new reporting methods that we felt were missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Drivetrain brings all of our Data Sources into one location and allows us to eliminate manually updating things in Sheets and Excel. Having a frozen snapshot in time in an easy to use platform saves time and allows for more accurate forecasting/reporting analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Drivetrain?

I really appreciate how Drivetrain helps us in simplifying the financial reporting tasks and making it easier to generate accurate customized reports efficiently. It smoothly integrated with our accounting softwares and gives accurate numbers. The software is very simple in design and very seamless to implement with not much complications required here. And the onboarding team led by Paaras deserves praise as they helped us with establishing the intial reports without any troubles. Overall, it significantly streamlines our workload, saving time and reducing errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

One downside is that it is time-consuming to clean our internal data to ensure accurate reports. While the software streamlines many tasks, this initial data cleaning step can be time consuming and delay our reporting process. But this is something that cannot be avoided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The software helps solve many issues currently that we have in our finance operations. Firstly, it helps in generating financial reports, which previously required a ton of manual intervention with data collection and then applying the data analysis to it. This automation provided by Drivetrain not only saves us time but also reduces the errors in our reports as it is automated.

Secondly, the software has a forecasting capability to provide us with valuable insights into future financial trends and potential risks which is a major plus for us. By having these reports, we can take informed decisions, ultimately improving our financial performance.

Overall, the software's ability to automate reports and provide insightful forecasts is benefiting us by enhancing efficiency, reducing the errors, and enabling more informed decision-making in our finance operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
