Jirav Reviews & Product Details

As someone who uses JIRAV every day, I like the simplicity of drivers and layout options, as well as the customizability. The layout of categories, sub-categories, and so on is easy to navigate and understand, and makes for a straightforward budget and presentation tool. The customer suppport is easy to contact and quick to respond as well. The integration with Excel, Sheets, NetSuite and many other native connecters makes implementing this software a breeze.

The lack of guided training programs such as those offered by ClickUp or Salesforce make for a more difficult learning experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jirav is customizable and easy to use. Our Finance team accesses Jirav every day to create financial assumptions and deliver leadership reports. I have been most impressed with the customer service, having been assigned an incredible Account Manager. The AM made integration easy and is extremely responsive and efficient.

Certain assumptions can be difficult to create, such as the equivalent of an IF statement. Occassionally limited by maximum amount of reports or custom tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jirav has been great for financial planning and analysis for our startup until the company gets large enough to hire a full time CFO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I dislike about Jirav. As far as opportunities for enhancement, it could expand it's already fairly robust suite of integrations. The connected sheet is great for flexibility and it's very helpful to have the implementation specialist set it up, though there's an opportunity to make that process easier for self-serve capabilities.

We were in the market to implement an FP&A tool to enable us to make confident planning decisions by upgrading our budgeting, forecasting and reporting suite. I have been using Jirav for ~ 12 months and I can confidently say it has saved significant hours and enabled us to take our FP&A function to the next level. Our internal reporting is significantly better enabling us to set comprehensive budgets and assist in achieving these budgets. The implementation team were excellent throughout the whole process, really getting to understand how our business works in older to customise the Jirav model in a way that allows us for accurate forecasting. Customer support has been great throughout the process with quick response times for report updates where needed. Jirav is now very well embedded into our tech stack and we would be lost without it. Integrations with our accounting software & CRM model is also extremely valuable, allowing for quick updates when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't call this a key dislike however a challenge has been the steep learning curve to understand how to best utilise the software. The team have been great with assisting to push through the learning curve and once fully up to speed using the software is great. UX/UI is an area where improvement is needed however Jirav are targeting these improvements as part of their product roadmap. During my ~ 12 months with Jirav, they have rolled out some excellent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jirav has worked amazingly well in transitioning from Excel reporting and budgeting models to a clean, robust, and efficient cloud-based method to handle department level reporting and budgeting. We have been very impressed with the technical capabilities of the product, excellent (and available) customer service, and responsiveness and frequency of product updates. Pricing of the product is also very reasonable considering the capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a setup period and learning curve, although nothing too big. Making the product more 'plug-and-play' would be an upgrade, as long it doesn't limit capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jirav has been a game-changer for our firm. The tool has streamlind our logistics and presents the "story of the numbers" in a digestible manner. Clients come away with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind about not just what the story of the numbers is today, but how to craft what's next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like with anything, there's a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer support throughout the sales and implementation process has been outstanding. The Jirav teams really takes their customers' needs seriously and provides top notch service. The report building aspect is great. If you build a report, you can use it recurringly without touching it. Also, the scenario planning is a great tool so we can update whenever strategies change, which is constantly! Seamless integration as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish the product was more of a plug and play. Would love for a bit more ability to change data if something needs to be edited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of integration

Report building/use (i.e. build once, use recurringly with limited tweaking)

Driver-based logic is huge lever

Plans and forecasts to compare vs. actuals with whatever time sequence you need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occassionally, you have to navigate circular references or solve for a driver scenario. Once you do it, you know how and you can apply logic. It is just an extra *jump* for the typical excel user who natively does in a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Jirav is the clear dedication to improving their product. Jirav is continuously releasing product enhancements that positively impact the user experience. Our Customer Success Manager (Josh) is knowledgeable, service-oriented, and truly wants our business to succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have many dislikes about Jirav. They don’t currently integrate with our payroll provider but I believe they may be working towards a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product makes financial reporting, forecasting, and budgeting so much easier and without having to worry about formula problems in your Excel worksheets. You are assigned an accounting professional at implementation who guides you through the process. The integration with QBO is seamless and it also integrates directly with a number of payroll companies as well. Dashboards make it easy for the executive team to check in w/ the financial information and related KPIs frequently. Creating report packages for different users is very easy. This product is a game changer, especially for a small business with limited resources. Would also be great for a CPA practice that provides accounting and reporting services for clients. The accounting professional assigned to our account is also quick to respond and is directly accessible by email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I would say there is nothing I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
