Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would say US$80K/year as it has automated the process and saved us from hiring a new analyst."
"Customer Service: It's excellent."
"Words can’t express how much our company benefited from using this product."
"It has enabled us to cut the budgeting process by 50% as well as making the budgets more acute."
"The time saved by building variables to drive accounts inside the budgeting system, along with balancing accounts to spread increases or decreases based on different accounts or versions, more than makes up for the pricing of the software."
"The biggest achievement is that now we do not have to use spreadsheets"
"Definitely take a look at this product and its offerings as it has a lot of useful features and could be used to simplify processes and day to day activities."
"The ability to budget on individual levels, i.e. by person for payroll, by vehicle for transportation, etc."
"Cube generation is a valuable feature."
"The product allows us to calculate the distributed cost across activities."
"We use ABM as an expense allocation model and it has improved the awareness and accountability of the cost incurred due to the traceability feature."
"The product helped determine the organization's true cost of providing its products and services to customers."
 

Cons

"With the report writing there are some issues."
"Discovery was not in depth enough for our deployment to be successful – we had a lot of problems and had to take short-cuts due to a lack of planning."
"There were problems in a certain version with the speed, but they have fixed this in later versions."
"Areas where you load your CapEx still need a lot of improvements. The Excel add-in is not as good as Hyperions."
"The user interface could be improved as it is not an intuitive product for every type of user."
"I think the mobile capabilities could be improved."
"The process speed and integration with sources of transaction detail needs work."
"At times, Prophix would crash if too many files were open."
"The interface is poorly designed and could really use an improvement to compete with other comparable software."
"It could be made much more simpler. Most of the time it looks like a black box for developers."
"We experienced severe performance issues when the models created are getting more details and becoming more complex."
"The usability needs to be improved but bear in mind that we did not have the latest update."
