"Game-Changer for Automating Daily Tasks and Data Access"
What do you like best about Drivetrain?

Drivetrain has transformed the way we operate on a daily basis! It has saved us hours each week, allowing our team to focus on high-priority work instead. Accessing and analyzing data is now seamless; everything is centralized and easy to retrieve, which has greatly improved our decision-making process. The customer support team is always responsive and helpful, ensuring we get the most out of the tool. I highly recommend Drivetrain for anyone looking to implement an FP&A tool or a tool which easily consolidates data! The ease of implementation was top notch! Drivetrain is used by our team daily for planning, reporting and modeling.

The integration process was easy and seamless. We have a lot of systems integrated; QB, Zoho, Databricks, SFDC & Bamboo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A super powerful tool"
What do you like best about Drivetrain?

With Drivetrain, the sky is the limit. If you can think it, you can build it. You can bring in data from so many different places and having all that data in one place is incredibly valuable. The team is also incredible. They have been incredibly responsive and helpful, not just during initial implementation, but beyond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

Drivetrain does have a bit of a learning curve, so it takes some training and some learning. Once you have it figured out though, it is a really powerful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ananya Khare of Drivetrain

"Very capable system with amazing team"
What do you like best about Drivetrain?

Drivetrain is intuitive, easy to use and very flexible. Support is amazing, change requests are handled efficiently and the team is ready to implement solutions for special requests. Connection of data sources is very simple. We wanted to move away from having endless Google sheets and having all our important business data in one place - Drivetrain helped us achieve that in an efficient and quick way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

Some of the setup steps can only be handled on the backend, however the support team is always there in case something needs to be changed. Error messages are often generic, it's not always clear what needs to be done to get rid of an error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ananya Khare of Drivetrain

Thank you for the detailed review. It’s great to know that Drivetrain has helped streamline your planning and reporting.

We appreciate your feedback on setup limitations and error messages - it’s something we’re actively working to improve. Your input helps us continue refining the experience for all users.

"Superb Time to Value, User Interface and Functionality"
What do you like best about Drivetrain?

From sales to proof of concept and through implementation, the folks at Drivetrain provided outstanding support and education. It was one of the best implementations I've experienced with any vendor. I was also impressed by how quickly we were able to start generating valuable financial reporting in a far more digestible & customizable format than QuickBooks offers us. The depth under the hood here is impressive, and the visualizations and UI are leagues above the other tools we researched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

The product is evolving quickly (in a good way), so prepare to be continuously learning to get the most out of it. Folks coming from Excel may encounter a learning curve with the modeling interface, and while you can absolutely keep using Excel with their data importing features, I highly recommend building natively in the platform to take full advantage of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ananya Khare of Drivetrain

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review.

We’re glad to hear that your experience has been smooth and impactful. We appreciate your note on the learning curve, especially for Excel users, and it’s something we continue to keep in mind as the product evolves. Your feedback is incredibly valuable as we work to make the platform even more intuitive and powerful.

"Powerful Planning, Forecasting, Reporting, and Data Aggregator"
What do you like best about Drivetrain?

The moment I saw Drivetrain, I knew it was exactly what I needed to help align data structures, combine data to get combined KPIs from disparate sources, get beyond cell count/row limits in google sheets and excel. The team is second to none in their responsiveness, the velocity of new updates and features, their ability to take feedback and have it in product in a matter of weeks is truly impressive. Implementation was quite easy, well supported, and the ongoing support has been extremely helpful and valuable. Integrations and connections are straight forward and most are a few clicks away from ingesting the data. I use the tool on a daily basis and it has been very helpful to get Hubspot, QBO, sheets, excel data all under one roof. The DT team is very collaborative to help find creative solutions in getting to the desired end result. Modeling with comparisons of actuals to plan with seamless historical + forecasted results are truly impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

The positives outweigh the negatives by a mile. The negatives usually come because I want to use the tool for things it wasn't intended for initially like sharing information to external parties. There are a few nits that are getting fixed around filtering and field names vs underlying field IDs. It would be nice to have more direct ability to push visuals into google slides to update visualization. But overall really happy with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ananya Khare of Drivetrain

Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful review! We’re happy to hear how Drivetrain has helped unify your data and streamline your reporting and planning processes.

We also really appreciate your constructive feedback, we have share your comments with our product team and we’ve shared your comments with our product team and are will explore ways to make external sharing and visualization even more seamless.

"Fantastic planning tool with great ease of use."
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.

"Drivetrain has been able to make our reporting more streamlined."
What do you like best about Drivetrain?

I really enjoy the platform as a whole and that it is able to connect with all the software systems that we are already using. Getting our account was easy with the help from Jason, and he has been super helpful with building out all the different things that we have wanted to build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drivetrain?

I thought that setting up reports with metrics could be difficult at times with knowing where exactly to pull the data from, but I have been told that there is an upgrade in process to help improve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
