NaviPlan is an invaluable financial planning tool. There are so many strategies and reports that can be built and used within the software. I've been using it for around 8 years and still don't how to use all of the functions. It has come a long way over the 8 years in terms of functionality. There is a definite learning curve, however, I've found it has become more user friendly.

Well suited: 1. We use Data Central to run queries & fetch data. 2. It's an amazing tools where we create multiple profiles with Query & then create multiple job id's for each profile. & then we run the query for the jobs. 3. Its so customizable as we can fetch the data through query for a particular, day, week, month, year. Least Suited: 1. Its very complicated for new users. 2. Data integration with multiple tables is a challenging during any launches. 3. Implementation is very time consuming since it involves large amount of data. 4. The output from the query is stored for maximum of 1 year & can't be retained for more than a year.

Alternatives Considered
Advicent Solutions
Snap Projections - We were using this software up until this year alongside Naviplan to see how it compared. The reason we tried Snap Projections was the difference in pricing. Naviplan is expensive, where Snap is only a fraction of the cost. The biggest reason we stayed with Naviplan was familiarity for the advisor presenting. He was accustomed to it. I find the interface of Naviplan better cosmetically. They both are great financial planning software tools with pros and cons in each. I have found that you can manipulate the software to show most of what you need. Both platforms continually update and take user feedback into consideration when building on to it so they both get better all the time

As we were able to scale our operations & appplications through it.We use Data Central to run queries & fetch data. It's so customizable as we can fetch the data through query for a particular, day, week, month, year.

  • Employee benefit calculation was a bit difficult and it made a big positive impact.
  • It does the job and we get the best for what we pay for.
  • If the industry becomes big, then slight changes must be introduced to manage the big data needs.
