“Drivetrain can accommodate different scenarios, build outs, and integrations, which is beneficial, especially when dealing with various systems. Other companies seem to have more of a canned offering of functionalities and capabilities.”

Connect all your business and finance systems to Drivetrain seamlessly
Drivetrain’s 200+ pre-built connectors along with an expert in-house implementation team ensures that all your data is available on the platform within a few days.
Pigment offers less than 20 integrations, and many of the most popular applications, like QuickBooks, Hubspot, Rippling, Tableau, and Chargebee are not included.
The few direct integrations Pigment does provide are often limited in terms of what you can import. And if no integration is available, the best you can do is manually upload a CSV file.
Integrations are key to streamlining data consolidation. You need a platform that can work with all of the tools your business uses. That tool is Drivetrain.
Start building powerful models and reports from day one
On Drivetrain you can use plain English and your existing knowledge of Excel to create custom metrics and forecast formulas. Most Drivetrain customers start building their models within a few days of going live.
Pigment, on the other hand, is a far less user-friendly, actually requiring users to learn a whole new language and syntax. Reviewers on Gartner forewarn that “It will take a technical person (who is SQL savvy) probably 5 months to get up to speed on syntax but a typical FP&A person, maybe 12 months depending on their capability”.
Update plans and forecasts quickly to respond to changing circumstances
Drivetrain’s simple and intuitive UI/UX ensures that you can easily update and play with forecast assumptions in your formulas to respond to changing business needs. You can create various scenarios and versions in minutes to identify the best path forward for your business.
Due to its technical complexity, most companies using Pigment dedicate 1-2 people solely to writing and debugging formulas. For any ad-hoc modeling work, users still have to rely on spreadsheets. This means that despite a hefty investment in Pigment, they still have to maintain two complex modeling systems at the same time.
