Integration
Comparison of Integration features of Kepion Planning and NMI Merchant Central
The solution works extremely well for companies in complicated operations or with the ambition to forecast their operations on a driver based way or wanting to have the ability to create different scenarios based on external or internal drivers. It is a perfect piece of an existing analytical infrastructure (DWH/BI) lacking a planning solution on top.
It’s been 2 years since IRIS CRM is supporting me by supporting my business and I have seen enormous progress in my business so far which is a really good sign and is enough for me to be satisfied with it. According to me and as I have observed it is fully loaded with many useful tools that can help in uplifting a business. Removes the manual cycle from me entering every people's hours exclusively. We really evaluated Bullhorn cover and tab it was not awful by any means.

Budgeting and Forecasting: Kepion provides all budgeting, forecasting and actuals information in one, collaborative environment.
Analysis: It is easy to traverse across your entire budgeting and forecasting spectrum in Kepion, unearthing insights that would be hidden from you in other tools.
Workflow: Kepion's workflow management is simple and clear.

Silverlight functionality is outdated which makes the front end solution a little bit old compared to latest UI. They will be tackling it in Q2 2018, but it leaves users wanting for more.
Reporting functionalities: Are not state of the art, we recommend users creating official reports within Kepion, but focusing on Tableau or PowerBI for reporting purposes as this is not and will never be Kepion strengths compared to the likes of Tableau.
Being customizable is great, however, the solution is not an out-of-the-box solution and does require a little integration to work. For smaller companies (under 5M USD) I would still recommend Excel.
Some minor design issues in the record communication interface. For example, replying to an existing email thread within the record set does not capture the entire communication or signatures.
Workflow customization is not easy for all users and can require some coding skills on the back end.
Linking forms from external websites is one feature that isn't very intuitive. Some leads are better inputted manually.

It is a wonderful software with an automated messaging service. It has helped us in having a better knowledge of our customer’s needs, preferences, and habits, and by knowing all these we have improved our business. Security is my basic concern and the fact that it has a disabled human element from the business equation are the things that I don’t really like in it.

It has enabled us to keep a record of the demographics of our clients and eventually we can develop a better understanding of our clients that will lead us to uplift our business. With its amazing sales tool, we have developed a strong relationship with our clients, and helped us in creating a good brand image. We really adore the convenience of managing and reporting data. It is quite easy to handle and all our business is depended on it and it helped us in gaining more loyal customers.

Kepion is in a unique position in that it has all of the enterprise-grade functionality and scalability of a tool like Cognos, but it is available at a lower price point, with much more engaged support.
The one thing I loved about the agreement express over AuditGenius was the organization of loans to be audited, it is very organised as per the client and his portfolio and shows up flags while the AuditGenius has the list and seems very odd. But also in customer usage, I found many of my business partners using agreement express for the quick onboarding and also for ROI which indeed gave me a strong feeling about the application.

The cost is a bit higher than other options (~$1300/mo), which can be seen as a negative in an absolute sense.
The improvement in workflow management has been significant, and has saved at least 50 man-hours per week across our organization.
Accurate rolling sales data reporting has been critical in defining quality metrics. This benefit is more indirect, but it has allowed us to better respond to changes in customer complaint trending.
