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.
Prophix is more aesthetically pleasing than the other platforms. It is the system we've always used so there is comfort with the platform as well.

We ended up selecting Prophix because of the amount of other senior living companies they worked with. Our finance team has a lot of experience in finance, just not in the industry, so we were hoping to gather more information around best practices from other clients and see …

The price was one of the biggest thing that had us looking at Prophix. Also how customized it could be with us. Prophix was willing to work with us as a partner and not just have us take their out of the box product, but actually create our own with them.
Prophix is the first and only financial software we have used of its kind. Previously everything was Excel based and worked on manually. This is where Prophix has been able to help us as a business advance ourselves in the modern world of reporting allowing us to do more with …
I've just recently evaluated FloQast and was very intrigued with their product. Overall review is they don't have a budget/forecasting tool. This is a main piece of our business and doesn't hold up against Prophix.
We were using True Sky prior to Prophix. Prophix is a lot more flexible and user friendly. It is difficult to compare the systems as Prophix is quite a bit more robust. Detailed planning manager in Prophix easily allows you to budget and forecast staffing costs right down to …
I have used other budgeting and forecasting tools at different companies, and Prophix is a much easier product to use and implement. I have received better user feedback from Prophix compared to other tools I have used at other companies. Other tools lacked dashboard …
Prophix was the clear choice when evaluating multiple software applications. The concept of dimensions in Prophix allows the organization to generate reports of any kind and there is no request for a report that we have not been able to create. Having direct budget entry into …
I didn't select Prophix for our company, but it does some things very well. It is way easier to set up and maintain than Hyperion and BPC, which require ongoing support from our IT department. Prophix only requires us to involve IT when we need to map new external data or …
I was not apart of the Prophix selection process or the initial implementation. Prophix has been a good tool for us to expand upon and grow and innovate with all of our enhancements. I have not used any other tools like Prophix, but it does have a lot of good features and …
I was not in the selection process; however, after using Adaptive at a former company, I feel Prophix is much easier from the user standpoint (especially for those who don't work in finance). The one pro of a tool like Adaptive, though, is that it is a Workday product so that …

I was not involved in the selection process, but I will say that Prophix is 100% easier to use than Hyperion and Cognos. It is very user friendly for those finance users who do not have a SQL background.
We ultimately chose Prophix for its stronger automation features and direct relationship with CMiC. While Vena offers a similar set of capabilities, we found Prophix to be more intuitive, especially when it comes to creating and managing reports without heavy reliance on Excel. …

Prophix is significantly better than these two products and at a better price. We tried implementing DataRails and it just didn't work for us as the struggled mightily with implementation. The Prophix implementation was very smooth and the support team was an absolute pleasure …
Prophix works for our business and is flexible enough to work for a number of different types of business. We are able to work with Prophix to develop cubes that record out business needs and supply our budget holders with graphical data to support their reporting needs. The …
We felt Prophix was much more flexible than Briq and offered a more solid financial reporting and budgeting package. Briq is more custom built solution-focused. They build solutions to fit your specific needs. The primary reason we went with Prophix is that we wanted something …
We carried out an evaluation with IBM, and some other national software that is not on the list, such as Lever Pro and Allstrategy. For IBM, our main problem was that the software representative wanted to sell something modular, thus losing all the functionality of a "blank …
Prophix is much more advanced and has more capabilities to Quickbooks. It is more flexible, agile, and creative than these softwares. The automation is really what sets it apart from these type of software. Integrating directly with our ERP is something that is enormously …
I used Hyperion Financial Management at my last company. Different situation as that was a larger global organization that had been on HFM for years. Prophix is much easier to configure and implement within a smaller organization. HFM may be the gold standard in financial …
If the budgeting is done with Excel spreadsheets, and your company is small to medium in size, Prophix is the system for you! Additionally, if your company is also doing monthly forecasting in Excel, Prophix will save you time and reduce errors. There are also many other worthwhile features, such as Account Reconciliation and consolidations.
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.
Prophix could improve on its dashboarding capability - it is very basic and we always present our graphs/visuals in Excel.
We would love it if Prophix could improve its line item detail reports. They are not great right after downloading and require a lot of manipulation in Excel.
It would be awesome if we could fully integrate our invoicing software with Prophix. This would allow us to view invoices within Prophix rather than having to go into another tool.
The system works well for us, and meets all of our needs. All of our future plans can and will be achieved within Prophix, so there is no need to pursue another product. Prophix has continuously proven to improve their product over the years, which provides an even higher level of confidence in this tool, and future developments
I have used other reporting software over the years and so far this has been the simplest to set up, the most flexible to use and we have not yet used Prophix to its full capacity. Over the next year or so I can see us extending our use of Prophix to include any number of other functions.
The availability in Prophix is relatively good. We have occurred random outages in different versions that wipe out data, which can be brought back. Or we have ran into system wide slowness that impacts all users in the system, but we have been able to get more capacity to supply our performance.
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.
The Prophix staff is very helpful and quick to respond. I like that they teach me instead of doing it for me when possible, so I don't have to contact them as often! Never talked to anyone at Prophix that I didn't respect or think highly of! Very professional, great customer service!
We worked with a consultant provided by the vendor for implementation. Training involved online and in person. The in person training was done throughout the implementation. It was very hands on training. As we worked through sections of the set-up, we were training on how to use various features within the product. It made learning the system very easy.
We used our system and created a test cube to work with our own data. We ran through the different functions of Prophix and covered alot of material. We did two sessions a week, with homework tasks assigned. We were able to ask questions and cover any questions during the followup sessions.
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.
We felt Prophix was much more flexible than Briq and offered a more solid financial reporting and budgeting package. Briq is more custom built solution-focused. They build solutions to fit your specific needs. The primary reason we went with Prophix is that we wanted something we could tweak and design on our own after the initial build-out of the solution.
I gave Prophix a 10 on scalability because we currently deploy the solution to department heads across our entire organization and never have any issues with those individuals using or accessing the system to look at their financial information within premade templates . They currently enter budgets and review reports within the system currently. The only issue is they cannot typically use the ad hoc functionality because that would require higher level licenses that cost more and it is not worth it to give them more costly licenses since they really aren't working in the system quite like the robust finance users
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.
