    It has a lot of features that are good for teams working on large-scale projects and continuously developing and reiterating their data project models. Really helpful when dealing with large data. It is a kind of one-stop solution for all data science tasks like visualization, cleaning, analyzing data, and developing models but small teams might find a lot of features unuseful.

    Prophix is best suited if you have a very extensive budgeting process that currently relies on multiple Excel spreadsheets. It is also great if you have on-prem tools that may no longer be supported for reporting. It may not be appropriate if you require an unlimited number of mid-tier users, as it can be very expensive annually. It's definitely not a cheap tool, but the cost can at least be optimized based on users' use cases. In both organizations I've worked for that use it, cost has been mentioned.

    Pros
    IBM
    • Integration of IBM Watson APIs such as speech to text, image recognition, personality insights, etc.
    • SPSS modeler and neural network model provide no-code environments for data scientists to build pipelines quickly.
    • Enforced best-practices set up POCs for deployment in production with a minimum of re-work.
    • Estimator validation lets data scientists test and prove different models.

    • Reporting - single report that can be opened by multiple users, each will see only aspect specific to them based on their security access.
    • Budgeting - workflow driven budget data collection, visibility of its current status, ability to take action to ensure timely completion. Ability to snapshot budget data at a point in time. Ability to perform what-if scenarios.
    • Forecasting - as above with added benefit of either reusing budget level of grain or forecasting at high level.
    • Granular planning - ability to create unlimited number of subsidiary models to assist with the planning process. Non-financial data collected during budget/forecast process help with operation planning and variance analysis.

    Cons
    IBM
    • The cost is steep and so only companies with resources can afford it
    • It will be nice to have Chinese versions so that Chinese engineers can also use it easily
    • It takes a while to learn how to input different kinds of skin defects for detection

    • Ability to filter report views for report binder without creating duplicate reports.
    • More extensive documentation and examples in the ProCalc library.
    • More ProCalc functions that deal with the time dimension and allow functions that can utilize the system date. So if it is day 8 of the month.
    • Ability to save company color scheme for use in reporting.
    • Would like to create a link between the account dimension and another dimension so I can easily report on account properties. For example, an account property could be columns in a report.
    • Would like to see the ability to have a report view on a dashboard. The tables are poorly formatted, and I’d like more formatting ability.

    There have been very few times that Prophix has not been available and we have been informed ahead of time. The only issue that we have is when we update cubes or import information and run processes during working hours which stops access for a short period of time but this is more about our processes than Prophix.

    Prophix has always performed consistently. We are using on-premise so many factors can contribute to slower than desired performance, most having nothing to do with Prophix itself. If we move to the web-client cloud based solution I believe performance will even be better.

    Training is essential for this software to be successful for any company. We unfortunately had a bad implementation and training manager so I can say with confidence that if we had the CSM we have now - we would be light years ahead of our knowledge of the system.

    The main reason I personally changed over from Azure ML Studio is because it lacked any support for significant custom modelling with packages and services such as TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and Spark ML. IBM Watson Studio provides these services and does so in a well integrated and easy to use fashion making it a preferable service over the other services that I have personally used.

    Prophix is so much easier to use that other platforms or products. It can be customized so much easier than other larger, more expensive products.

    • Prophix has made it possible to move away from some Excel reporting we were doing, which allows for 50% quicker reporting on a monthly basis.
    • Although it has saved us time, an improved PowerPoint feature that automatically updates our decks would save an additional 75% on top of what we already do.
    • Our Board Reporting has improved by 10 hours by moving our reports fully into Prophix.
