    Planning, financials, and even sales tracking are greatly helpful for project planning. This makes product planning easy; you can simply see what the industry is demanding and what should be produced more in coming quarters. If you have really huge data, then this sometimes crashes.

    I suggest becoming fully familiar with the program before first time use as it can become costly and a charge off to a client would not be practical.

    Usability
    Pigment
    Overall most of Pigment is self-service and meant to be used by the business users. It usually doesn't require reaching out to a technical or IT resource to make changes to reports or the models we have setup.

    Pigment has a lot of the same self-service capabilities but offers a more robust infrastructure to plan and report on more than just the financial data. It allows for more extended planning and the reporting and dashboard capabilities are very strong.

    We contacted PlanGuru for a low-cost module initially for use on a particular client. It has been used several times since by my department for projections. It's fairly adaptable with our QuickBooks business clients.
