Here’s what Nucleus Research had to say about Vena:

“Vena Solutions is a leader in this year's CPM Value Matrix, thanks to Vena’s Complete Planning platform, which serves organizations of all sizes. The vendor makes use of Excel's growing computational tools, formulae, analytical capabilities and flexible layout and design choices, which are linked to a central analytical database (Vena CubeFlexTM) and collaborative workflows. This technique provides broad user acceptability, customizable modeling, and analytical and audit capabilities.”

The research found that ease of use and user experience have also seen improvements. Features like drag-and-drop functionality, Excel-like interactions, and no-code/low-code customization options are now standard, making CPM platforms accessible to a wider range of users, not just those with high levels of technical expertise.
