The platform has completely transformed how we run FP&A at our company. The biggest thing for me is how much faster I can build scenarios and update our forecasts. What used to take hours in Excel now happens in minutes. The interface is actually intuitive, which is rare for finance software. I also love that I can connect directly to our data sources instead of constantly exporting and importing CSV files. The collaboration features make it way easier to work with our sales and ops teams on planning. Everyone can see the same numbers in real time, which has eliminated so many version control headaches.

There's a learning curve at first, especially if you're coming from pure spreadsheet workflows. Some of the more advanced features took me a bit to figure out. The documentation could be stronger in certain areas. Occasionally I run into small bugs with the data connectors, though their support team is usually quick to help. I wish there were more keyboard shortcuts for power users. The mobile experience isn't great either, but honestly I mostly use it from my laptop anyway so not a huge deal.

The customer service levels are fantastic; these guys are serious about ensuring that their product meets the needs of their customers.

I have multiple instances of quickbooks online that I have to consolidate to get an accurate picture; before, every time there is a request internally or from investors or potential investors, i would have to download multiple csvs, consolidate, and slice and dice data manually which would take hours for every request that would come in. Drivetrain basically gives me all of my KPIs, dashboards, customer information, vendor information, etc across all instances of quickbooks in one database, and I can get insights in seconds (vs. hours). We were at the stage of considering a brand new expensive ERP, but Drivetrain has given me the insights I needed and has extended the useful life of quickbooks by years and avoids a very expensive and time consuming ERP implementation. The implementation was 95% done by Drivetrain themselves (vs. an ERP implementation which requires a huge effort from the end users), and the integration with other apps is very good.

I cannot understate how much Drivetrain has made my life easier, and how core it is to my workflow, particularly during high pressure times such as generating reports for potential investors. If there were issues in the data, the team jumped on the issues right away and were solved overnight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still haven't used the forecasting tool to its full capabilities due to resource constraints internally, so we still use Excel to dynamically change our forecast and multi-year plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Drivetrain tool is highly customizable and can be tailored to our unique business needs. Internally, we’ve received great feedback from both report users and model users on Drivetrain’s enhanced capabilities and the insights it provides to our business, as well as usability. Its modeling flexibility has significantly improved our ability to budget and forecast with speed and accuracy, as well as build scenarios and create new versions on a whim.

Our team was prioritizing several large projects at the beginning of the year, and had to extend our implementation timeline, which Drivetrain was very accommodating in pushing that out and still getting us up and running on the platform timely.

Since we adopted Drivetrain recently (within the past year), I’d be remiss if I didn’t call out the most impressive aspect of the experience: the customer service. Our organization went from budgeting in Excel to budgeting in a top-of-the-line software that is Drivetrain, and there were—and still are—a lot of learning curves and mistakes along the way. The Drivetrain team, specifically Nikhil, has helped us work through issues at all hours of the day. We truly appreciate the level of support, which has been better than any vendor we’ve partnered with in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drivetrain is a relatively new product, so it does come with some bugs and occasional issues that pop up from time to time, which is to be expected. However, the open lines of communication with Drivetrain, along with an excellent and responsive customer service team, make a real difference. They are consistently prompt in addressing issues, even at all hours of the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform gave us access to all the data sources we needed right out of the box. Their customer success team has been incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our implementation. They truly invest in making sure you get value from the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. Because the platform is highly customisable, it takes some time to understand the different workflows and set everything up the way you want. Once you get past that initial phase, though, everything runs smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility is the biggest strength for me. If I can visualize a forecasting metric or report, I’ve been able to build it out in the product. Any blockers have always been resolved quickly by the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning period which is definitely a time commitment early on, but not without payoff. Also, the lack of AI analytics for variance analysis is an for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DriveTrain provides a native integration with our accounting software, making implementation straightforward and ensuring that all our data is easily accessible on the platform. It brings together consolidation, planning, and reporting capabilities in a single solution, which greatly simplifies our workflow. Our entire management team uses the cloud-based system daily. Additionally, we receive excellent customer support through online channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile-friendly version of the application would make it much more user-frinedly for management teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An amazing combination of a data warehouse and an FP&A modeling tool. You can pull full data sets from almost anywhere, then use them to build a comprehensive planning model that’s now integrated into many of our daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a newer application that’s still being refined. The team is highly responsive—both support and development—which makes it easy to use, even with heavy usage across our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like building reports and scenarios, the platform improved my reporting efficiency and accuracy, the support team is amazing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is my first FP&A platform, so I still had a bit of a learning curve getting started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a solid tool to consolidate FP&A activities and a central hub for the company to access live data. The reports are easy to build. Metrics and dimensions are intuitive. The UI is not overwhelming. Implementation was timely. We use it daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve to the logic and formula syntax of the system. AI feature isn't as useful as expected and I currently have no practical application of it aside from the formula builder AI in data transformations. Report building isn't as flexible as I'd like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Modelling tools are easy to understand, outputs are configurable and consistent. Support and onboarding is great, including integration with our existing ERP and other data sources. The MCP server makes it really easy to query and integrate with Claude Code and other AI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes time to get setup, but the investment is worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
