Prophix One, a Financial Performance Platform, is used to improve the speed and accuracy of decision-making within a harmonized user experience. To reduce complexity and uncertainty, the software offers automated insights and planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and consolidation functionalities.
Before Prophix we used on premise Budget Maestro, we did not have good results from their software, it was buggy and its processes were antiquated. We chose Prophix for its consolidated reporting capabilities and to get all of our companies that are on 3 different ERP systems …
Budget Maestro was awful experience. We bailed 80% of the way through implementation because it became abundantly clear that we were going to have to fit into their mold which didn't work for us. When their implementation team started to use the word work-around I knew we were …
At the end of the day we felt like all three could probably do what we wanted - one was considerably more expensive than where Prophix came in at, so we eliminated it. The other would've been a cheaper solution, but we felt like it was a bit of a downgrade, and we liked the …

Chose Prophix
Budget Maestro was too basic, Anaplan was too complex and Host Analytics didn't understand our industry or our ERP. Prophix is a partner with Viewpoint which meant there was much more knowledge on how our structure worked.

Chose Prophix
We liked Prophix's user-friendly appearance. The prices were similar, so for us, it was about the interface or how we perceive how easy it would be to use across the college. We brought together a variety of users from across campus to view a demonstration by Prophix and people …
Prophix is deficient to other budgeting software I've reviewed such as Budget Maestro and Adaptive Insights as they are windows based and feature drop down menus and copy and paste feature. The also offer better auditing trail and vendor level budgeting. I was sold on Prophix …
In terms of budgeting programs, Prophix is far and away the best. Its capabilities go way beyond what programs like Budget Maestro can do. In my searches, I haven't been able to find any other system with Prophix's capabilities that's also at their fairly low price point.
