Prophix
Prophix is adaptable to many different types of organizations. It is an exceptional tool for budget development, even across complex organizations. Prophix also allows a much more flexible approach to financial reporting and analysis than is offered in most ERP systems. An added bonus is the ability that Prophix has to handle long-range planning and forecasting.

Vena has shortened month-end processing time by half the time. We required a lot of long days of training for months to implement this process. The implementation and cross-training could benefit from more training materials for the primary user to share with new contributors. Typical integration times for other systems have been 6 months. I would say both for the good and bad, Vena has so many different processes to offer the integration time for our company on this system is still ongoing a year later.

Prophix
- Prophix helps tremendously with the budgeting process. It allows scalability when we add new programs. The flexibility of Prophix allows for an accurate and efficient budgeting process.
- Prophix does an excellent job at building data integrations, which helps feed the most recent data into Prophix with no manual processes.
- Prophix's customer support team is amazing and is always willing to help you build more functionality into the product as time goes on and additional needs are identified.

Vena
- Vena is easily adoptable by new users because it is Excel based. Staff are not intimidated by the software.
- It's easy to distribute monthly reports to the staff with Vena's workflows and Report Books. Once those are set up, distributing monthly financials to individual departments is an easy process.
- It's easy for us to upload data from our accounting system - at the transaction level - to Vena. We simply download a file from our accounting system and upload it into Vena. Whatever manipulation of the data that's required is done by Vena. We don't have to do anything.
- Vena's customer service is excellent. Their customer service reps. are pretty good and I will say they are fair-minded during contract renewals. I never feel like they're gouging me. They are decent people to work with.

Prophix
- More flexibility needed in dashboard chart design
- More flexibility in how accounts roll-up (children added together = parent total; sometimes I need to average the children to get the parent, but that is not a current feature)
- I wish ad hoc analysis was available for standard users

- Template automation encountering issues due to certain excel functions used.
- Mac users often have issues.
- There should be a built-in option to automatically overwrite actual periods with actual data in forecast scenarios.
- Users must be proficient in Excel to use Vena to its full potential.

We have been extremely satisfied with the Vena Solutions product and have been able to become more efficient in our budgeting, forecasting and salary planning processes, as well as adding functionality and accuracy that was not possible in the past. Administrators no longer have to keep track manually of each department's budgeted net, but can use a report created in Vena to report this information, as well as see which departments have not yet submitted information. Customer service has always been very responsive as well

This is split between usability from an end-user perspective and administrative. Administrative - The tool is lacking in a cohesive way to administer the tool, both from more of a back-end perspective (ETL/Integrations, scripting, etc.) as well as from a business administrative (Processes, Models, etc.). On the more back-end IT related aspects, the tool is a mishmash of modules that were clearly developed in stovepipe fashion. Basic feature/functionality aspects such as version control, auto vs manual save, etc. differ between the code preparation components. It is also lacking in any sort of coherent version control. Not all pages display the context information, so extreme caution must be used. There is also no coherent migration strategy. The process and model navigation has been somewhat challenging for our business administrators, often requiring assistance from Vena when creating or altering templates. 2 of 10End User - This is better. The Excel add-in generally functions well. Creating basic templates is straightforward, and there is a large degree of flexibility when creating reporting templates. Being part of Excel puts many users into a comfort zone. The toggle switch between template and data mode is not well conceived, and the add-in pop-ups occasionally have issues on multi-monitor displays. 6 of 10

The initial integration consultant was very helpful in making sure we were set up with all the essential uses we required: reporting/budgeting/forecasting. There was a learning curve but our consultant made it very easy to understand and helped me be comfortable in my Global Admin role in the system. Even after integration, we were given support whenever I came up with an idea I would get in touch and I would be trained on how I can implement it.

We are a medium sized company, but the structure of Prophix would seemingly adapt to whatever sized organization you have. It also can be applied in any area of an enterprise that needs performance management, whether it involves financial data or not.

Return on Investment
Prophix
- Not only did it cut significant time off our budgeting cycle, but it allowed us to do things we couldn't even do in excel versions (i.e., load in another month of data for comparables three days before presenting to executive team).
- Month-end reporting has resulted in the ability to continually tweak reporting to focus end-users on what's important; our previous reporting package (inside our accounting software) was far too cumbersome to make this work.
- Moving all of my other data functions inside Prophix has resulted in not only a lot more efficiency for me, *but* it allows me answer about 95% of ad hoc questions coming at me with the data I now have stored, as opposed to starting from scratch by extracting raw data out of our original systems every time.

- Through the roof! Time savings were never quantified but when you save weeks of time, not much more needs to be said.
- We are way more efficient in our budgeting and forecasting processes as a result of utilizing the Vena workflow processes.
