    Prophix Software
    Chose Prophix
    We compared Prophix with Board and Adaptive Planning. Prophix seemed to be much more user friendly when compared to Board. It was just a more robust product.
    It did stack very well with Workday Adaptive Planning, but what set them apart was that Prophix has a great …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Workday Adaptive Planning had some excellent looking features such as report design and processing speed and efficiency. Fiserv Prologue really excels at providing banking specific functionality built-in. We ultimately felt the Prophix provides the best blend of the other …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    User interface is cleaner and allows budget owners to use the system instead of the finance upload.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We chose Prophix because of their better service, their Canadian presence, cost and overall it seemed a better match to our needs. Workday seemed like it was for bigger companies and came at a higher cost.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Very simple end-user experience, easy to implement, ability to link to and from Microsoft D365.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Workday seems as though it had similar features, price point was much higher. We selected Prophix because we had it many years ago before the cloud and several new features.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We found Prophix to be more flexible than the other solutions. It proved to have less of an implementation timeframe, and we felt more comfortable supporting the system ourselves post-implementation. We were also surprised to find that Prophix's pricing was more competitive …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Both of these other solutions were on our top 3 list. Based on responses to single-sign-on and multi-factor authentications, Solver was rated our number 3 choice. Workday Analytics was more "polished" and offered a great product. In the end, it was the customer service …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix has proven to be a low cost, responsive solution compared to these other products. Prophix continues to make improvements to its product in the 5 years since we acquired the product. The team at Prophix is responsive, easy to work with, and eager to help. We are very …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    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 …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix has been easier to use and easier to understand how it functions and operates.
    Their initial training in getting Prophix is very helpful in getting a good understanding of the product.
    I like dealing directly with the software company I am using. Adaptive we were using a …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix definitely has the cost vs benefit nailed down. Our decision really came down to which product would accomplish what we needed for the price point we were looking at. With Adaptive being purchased by Workday, there were so many unknowns. Prophix had such a great demo …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    I have not used any other product like Prophix but I have looked at Adaptive and it seems to be very similar. I have only watched a video or two on Adaptive Insights, so I don't have a lot of data to compare the two. Adaptive's detailed planning did seem a little more in depth.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix was very close to Adaptive. Ultimately, we chose it over Adaptive for reasons of ease of adoption, clearly outlined post-implementation costs & support, and the fact that the company only produces one software, and focuses its attention only on this.

    NetSuite was a …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We selected Prophix over Adaptive because they seemed to be able to tackle our detailed multi-tiered allocations and adaptive could not do that. Also, adaptives customer service was definitely not as robust as Prophix.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We have not yet purchased Adaptive Insights. From the demos we have seen it works very similar to Prophix, which we are a huge fan of. If Prophix had a better way to connect with Workday we would probably stick with it for a few more years. We will be switching to Adaptive …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    The company was looking for a robust tool and during the demo sessions the key budget contributors were satisfied with the user friendliness and positive outlook on the success of Prophix.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    The reporting in Prophix is far superior to Adaptive.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix

    Compared to Host Analytics and Adaptive, Prophix provides more value for the dollar, especially when we deploy multiple models. Solution set is also comparably built out, so we are not missing any critical functionality. Self-maintenance by finance is also comparable to Host …

    Incentivized
    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 …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    For our specific use and purpose, most of the packages we reviewed would meet practically all of our needs. Therefore, it came down to the ease/timing of implementation, the availability of support personnel, and the ability to customize for our specific needs. Prophix met …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix had the feature set we wanted, at the most competitive price, and could be deployed on-prem.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Hyperion was cost prohibitive for a company our size, and was eliminated early in the process. We evaluated Budget Maestro and Adaptive Planning prior to purchasing Prophix, but decided on Prophix due to combination of lowest cost to implement/maintain, most intuitive …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    The main reasons of why we selected Prophix are cost, value, ease of use, speed of implementation to take this into production, and demonstration of the product to us. We covered all the competitors out there in terms of reviewing on-site or conference call - Host Analytics, …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    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 …
    Workday
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    After researching several CPM products, Adaptive and Prophix actually both met our needs quite well. The Adaptive Sales & Design Team went above and beyond in the early stages of exploring whether Adaptive could meet some of our very specific needs. Adaptive's customer …
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    When we were evaluating the software solutions we wanted:
    1) A product that would efficiently consolidate our annual budget.
    2) Something that would be easily adopted by the entire company.
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    Adaptive provided the best solution for the price given how we wanted to deploy the solution. For our size business they appear to the be best in class solution. Host Analytics appeared to provide the same functionality, but was for a more distributed budgeting and …
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    We look hard at Host Analytics and softly at Longview and Prophix. Adaptive's advantages was ease of use, offered a full solution and pricing. We wanted to roll this out to the entire organization and felt Adaptive met those needs best and could grow with the company.
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning

    Cognos - capabilities are very similar. Cognos does allow a "push-down" (e.g. current rollup of Outside Services is $600k, enter $1mm at the highest level and the additional $400k is spread to the lowest level based on the existing spread).

    We also looked at A3 Solutions, Budget …

    Incentivized
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    I have used Hyperion, Prophix, and an internally-developed Access based solution for budgeting, along with Excel. I honestly never want to be in a non-Adaptive environment again. It has most of the flexibility and ease of Excel, without the version control and linking issues …
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    We selected Adaptive Insights for two reasons:
    1. They are cloud based. With the software being managed on the cloud, we do not need to worry about managing servers, broken data tables, or other back-end concerns. We also don't have to wait for our (already taxed) IT department …
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    Prophix & Host Analytics. Chose Adaptive due to the robust features and ease of use.

    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.

    Prophix Software
    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.

    It's well suited to any business where you have defined inputs, a layer of structured calculations and a defined output. In other words, any business situation! We use it in a law firm setting where it enables us to import staff plans, assign targets to each individual, thereby generating a revenue forecast linked to business capacity. From there, global assumptions determine staff and direct costs, with the user overlaying discretionary costs to arrive at a final P&L forecast. This is then summarised using the reporting and dashboarding layer to provide outputs to senior leaders for sign off.

    Cons
    Kepion
    • 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.

    • 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.

    • Budgeting either isn't included or an extra fee.
    • Expense reporting aspects are repetitive and hard to fully optimize.
    • Finance tracking is limited to basic reports with multiple levels or drill-down...hard to fully grasp without exporting data and massaging in something else (like Excel).

    For one we're in way too deep to not move forward with Adaptive. We're integrated with Workday, we do a ton of reporting with Adaptive, and it's working very well for planning and forecasting. No reason to look back or change course.

    It is an easy transition for Excel users, with more built-in analytical tools and no need to build formulas. It also has built-in reporting and integration with Microsoft Office products such as Excel and PowerPoint. For non-Finance users, there's an initial learning curve to get used to the tool.

    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.

    All aspects of Adaptive Insights perform well. One area that I wish was quicker was integration. When importing data from Intacct our accounting ERP platform, it can sometimes take 4 hours for the import to process. The earlier imports are done, the quicker they complete. My estimate for a quick upload is about two hours.

    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. I highly suggest taking all training opportunities and not rushing the implementation training

    This was extremely helpful so that they could walk you through the model and teach you more about the complexity of various areas. It is most helpful when it is specific to your organization's model. The larger in-person trainings were helpful but they tended to be more generic and entry level. The trainings that are more tailored to your specific needs are the most helpful.

    They often times tended to be way too generic or entry level. They would also become sales pitches to upgrade or get new Adaptive Planning products. The questions in the training would be very niche and specific to other organizations. They were rarely helpful to the group at large.

    Prophix Consulting should bring, in house, chargeable expertise in Oracle EBS table access for Drill Across and provide reasonable limits on dimension member combinations so there are no unreasonable expectations about the application of multi dimensional cubes to detail, such as revenue by product and customer.

    Trust the expertise of very strong 3rd party implementers. Having deployed Adaptive at a separate company before, I thought I knew it all (hubris, I know). Fortunately, I began to (very quickly) trust the judgment of our Carlson implementation team, and they provided invaluable insights and best-in-class processes that have benefitted me and my team greatly.

    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.

    Workday became our choice because it is fully web-based and easily integrates with other systems. The learning curve for Workday was shorter than that of Dynamics. The reporting tools in Workday are more user-friendly than that of Dynamics. However Workday did not have Check Printing tools which are available in Dynamics. The organization started a project to digitize all financial transactions so it was not a priority feature. When it comes to scaling up the functionalities of Workday it was much easier than Dynamics.

    • 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.

    • It's facilitated a better financial literacy and management by the non-financial managers in the company, giving them a much better ability to see what they're spending, control it, and plan better in the future.
    • It's hard to quantify the ease of model and version management, but we could never do what we're doing now with our current staff. It would take a small army to replicate anything close to what Adaptive pulls off using Excel, if it's even possible.
