"Simple yet powerful financial software"
5/5
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.

"Best FP&A Platform I've used"
5/5
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.

"Super flexible platform with an amazing support team."
5/5
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.

"Seamless experience"
4.5/5
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.

"Robust cloud FP&A tool to manage reporting at scale"
4/5
What do you like best about Drivetrain?

-Drivetrain can connect to all my upstream datasources to build the sort of real-time reporting I need.

-Everything you can do in Excel, you can do better in Drivetrain (and then some).

-It uses a similar cell-based structure and formula language so the transition is seamless.

-You can set up your "remembered" metrics (i.e. ARR, CAC, Burn, etc.), feed them into your models, and then build reports ontop of your model(s) to expose results and forecasts to various audiences at your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

The data transforms aren't self-service (yet...I know they're working on this). I rely on a dedicated support rep to create joins and other transforms across datasets to produce the key datatables I need for my reporting. Once this is done, it will be fully self-service end-to-end and extremely powerful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Praveen R of Drivetrain

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that Drivetrain is helping consolidate your financials and deliver real-time insights with accurate reports and metrics tracking. We're pleased to know the transition from Excel to was seamless.

We hope the data transformation tools we'd launched a few months ago have enabled you to manipulate your data sets in a completely self-serve manner now. Would love to hear how you're liking the ability to define data transformations using ChatGPT-like natural language prompts besides SQL-like syntax for building our your advanced transformation logic.

We'll continue to roll out more tools and features to help you and the team model, report, analyze and derive insights faster.
