NaviPlan by Advicent vs. Dynamo Software

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.

The system’s configurable nature makes it a dynamic solution for addressing business-specific needs. Additionally, the intuitive design of the data queries allow us to find what we need and self-source most items. Finally, the ability to manage the majority of configuration needs in-house enables us to resolve user requests in a timely manner. Dynamo also listens to customer feedback and consistently deliver helpful upgrades.

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
