The Drilldown feature is also very helpful for non financial users to get more details to their financial information.
> 
> **Cons**: The AI integration of the software can definitely be improved. I know that there are some AI feature in the works but it will take the produce to new heights if AI can be incorporated in forecasting and more process heavy tasks like budgeting.
>

### "FP\&A Healthcare Datarails" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *26 May 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Datarails allowed us to leverage our existing Excel-based financial models while adding automation, centralized data management, and reporting capabilities. We particularly valued the ability to consolidate data from multiple sources, automate recurring reporting processes, create dashboards for executive and board-level reporting, and maintain version control without completely rebuilding our finance workflows. The platform improved visibility into financial and operational performance while reducing the manual effort required for monthly reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis. The flexibility to continue working within Excel was a significant advantage for our FP\&amp;A team compared to more rigid planning solutions.
> 
> **Cons**: Performance can slow when working with large datasets and complex reports. Some advanced reporting and dashboard customization features were less intuitive than expected.
> 
> Overall, our experience with Datarails has been positive. The platform provides a strong balance between the flexibility of Excel and the automation, governance, and reporting capabilities of a modern FP\&amp;A solution. It has helped streamline budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, and executive dashboarding while allowing our team to continue working within familiar Excel-based workflows.

### "Great Customer Service" — 3.0/5

> **Markand** | *20 February 2026* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and versatility when extracting data. For most entities, we're plumbed into Business Central and this works seamlessly.
> 
> **Cons**: We have had numerous occasions where refreshing data in a spreadsheet is taking far too long and files have to be crashed out.
> 
> Customer service was lacking for a while, but our new Customer Success Manager has been extremely helpful \&amp; quick to respond to our queries, especially as the team that implemented Datarails have left the business along with their knowledge.

### "Streamlining Forecasting and Reporting with Datarails" — 5.0/5

> **Elizabeth** | *31 March 2026* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Datarails is helpful in bridging the gap between Excel-based workflows and a more centralized FP\&amp;A system. It allows us to maintain flexibility in our existing models while improving version control, collaboration, and data consistency. The integration with our accounting system and ability to automate reporting processes are also strong benefits, particularly for reducing manual consolidation and improving visibility across teams. Overall, it’s a good step toward standardizing our forecasting and reporting processes without fully disrupting how the team currently works.
> 
> **Cons**: The platform still requires significant setup and alignment to fully realize its value, particularly around data structure, dimensional consistency, and ownership of inputs. There are also limitations in handling more complex, highly customized models, which means we still rely heavily on Excel outside the system. Additionally, performance and usability can sometimes lag when working with larger datasets, and there is a learning curve for teams to adopt new workflows. More flexibility in modeling and clearer governance around data inputs would improve overall effectiveness.
> 
> Datarails is helping solve challenges around version control, manual consolidation, and lack of a single source of truth across our forecasting and reporting processes. Previously, we relied heavily on multiple Excel files with manual links, which created inefficiencies, increased risk of errors, and made it difficult to ensure consistency across outputs.
