Prophix is used as a management reporting, forecast and budgeting system, weekly and monthly estimate financial software to maximize time and efforts in a one house stop. We use a 3rd party consultant to help with big changes in our planning templates and any major problems, which has been a big win for us. The initial process set up can be time consuming. The quick report building features can be time saving and has allowed us to create report binders which are very beneficial.
  • Report Building
  • Report Binders
  • Security Manager
  • Process Manager can be tricky and has a learning curve
  • Planning templates can be a nuisance of setup and maintenance
  • Charting capabilities need to be improved in the software
Prophix is great for setting up report binders that is very useful when sending out packets to different product groups and business units. The setup of a report binder and features of how it works is super easy and requires a click of a button or schedule to send out. This is crucial for us when it comes around to month-end closing or during quarter ends where financial reports provide good information.

Prophix is being used across the entire organization, from Corporate to R&D. It streamlines the budgeting, forecasting and reporting process which allows for faster closing times. We also use Prophix for personnel planning and cross charging between departments.
  • The user interface is easy to work with.
  • Budget streamlining.
  • Flexibility.
  • Large reports with multiple data views can be slow to open.
  • Requires dedicated training and use of consultants for initial implementation.
  • MDX can be challenging.
Dashboards allow you to provide the data as a big picture. Prophix can deal with data from multiple sources and we are able to drill across to see more detailed transactional information from our ERP system.

At this point in time Prophix is being used for Operational Expense budgeting. In doing so we have created a user friendly environment that allows users to login and input their budget data into a Data Entry template. That data is then used for budget to actual analysis throughout the year. This data allows management to make more informed decisions by viewing the data in dynamic and close to real time reporting.
  • Data Integration
  • End User Engagement
  • Reporting and Analytics
  • Implementation Time
  • Additional optionality is dashboard charts and reporting
  • Ability to sort and filter within template studio
Prophix is very well suited for communication financial information to non-financial parties. With the use of dynamic reporting and dashboards, users are able to seamlessly view their budget data and compare to actuals. Some areas where it is not appropriate is when advanced analytics are dependent on sorting and filtering data, in some cases exporting to excel and running a pivot table is more efficient.

We use Prophix for a variety of functions, but primary it is a repository for our financial data, and is linked up to our general ledger software. We then use the data within it for budgeting and projecting. We grant our operational partners access, manage their budgets using a process flow, and allow them to input the data. We also use it as a reporting tool, specifically creating templates built from multiple data views. These templates are then distributed to our operational partners so they may view their results. The security function is extremely important to us as well and all of our operational partners have very specific access so as to not overshare sensitive information.
  • Budgeting
  • Technical and Consultant Support
  • Allocation of overhead
  • Personnel Planning
  • Process Manager UI/UX updates
  • Template Studio Formatting messes up when items are added or removed or moved around within the data view
  • Account Manager going over specific new features would be helpful
Prophix is well suited for budgeting, forecasting, reviewing financial information in an ad hoc format, exporting information in clean data views, personnel planning, allocating overhead expenses via its process manager, and its security feature is great for limiting access. I do think Prophix has some work in template studio, specifically formatting. If you update a data view in a template, it pushes the formatting around which can become a pain and takes time to fix. Also, the process manager could use some updating for ease of use / readability.

We currently use Prophix for out monthly finance reports for budget holders and are creating the reports for the Board to be able to review. We have used Prophix to create budgets for the first time this year and although it was time consuming to set up the process we saved a lot of time in the review and amending process and now that we have set up the process it will be really easy to use the templates for our reforecasting and the next budget setting process. The next steps are to start using Prophix for other processes such as calculating profitability on contracts and going concern.
  • Personnel Planning
  • Report creation
  • Budget setting
  • Finding answers to questions can sometimes be difficult but I haven't found it impossible - yet
  • The colour palette for charts and graphs in Dashboards could be bigger - allowing us to choose colours that match our company colours.
Being able to allow all budget holders access to their reports via Prophix and having charts on the dashboards which give an image of where we are financially as a company each month is really helpful, our users appreciate the access and not receiving emails with reports. The drill down in the reports provides much more detail for the budget holders and going forward we are going to try to use the line item details to provided a greater amount of information. Using the Detailed Planning Manager for Personnel Planning during budget setting was a game changer - being able to view the costs and being much more accurate with regard to start and end dates and applying a cost of living increase which we could adjust to see how it would affect the budget overall was really helpful.

Prophix is our planning and reporting tool utilized by both Accounting and Department leaders. This tool has streamlined the monthly financials reporting and allowed for more analytics to be carried out. Furthermore, it has consolidated the budget and forecast process allowing for a "one-stop-shop". In the past we utilized excel, which lended itself to version control issues, errors, and miscommunication between departments and accounting.
  • Report Consolidation
  • Data Slicing and Dicing - How to view your information
  • Automization of processes
  • I've found only the administrator receives the full training -In my opinion, tool seems difficult and cumbersome to new users and those who only access once every few months
  • In my opinion, Detail drill-down capabilities feel limited - Users may still have to rely on other systems to get more details

We use Prophix for financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting. The system has allowed us to move off spreadsheets and has increased the overall efficiency of the reporting, forecasting, and budgeting processes. It has also allowed us to give visibility to more users than ever in a faster manner, so they are making more data-driven decisions.
  • End User experience and ease of use.
  • Running Allocations.
  • Personnel Budgeting & Management.
  • Ease of ad-hoc analysis.
  • Drilling across to source data.
  • Multiple platforms between FP&A, financial consolidations.
  • Ease of connectivity to Power BI.
  • More bundled packages with add-on capabilities and not having those based on a number of transactions.
The system was fairly easy to implement and, overall, very easy for end users. It provides a lot of flexibility while also providing structure and is not overly complicated.

We use Prophix primarily for FP&A. However with how easy it is to use, we are hoping to implement it for other deliverables. The produce allows us to translate complicated data from a variety of sources into immediately actionable reports. The ability to export the reports and then make explanations based on the data provided in Excel, Prophix, or other softwares makes explanation of financials remarkably easy.
  • Ease of explanation
  • Flexible to various users
  • Very easy learning curve for material
  • Providing information on individual transactions would be very helpful
  • ease of creating new connections to other software (particularly for the DPM)
  • A better database of common questions that arise during the use of the product
Prophix is very useful in presenting existing data and incorporating a new budget. The similarity it bears to Excel requires very little additional learning. However, we do struggle using forecasting models as we often change our existing teams and accounts which skew existing forecasting models. It would be very much appreciated if there was a way to make a forecast model without a historical requirement.

We have implemented Prophix just over the past 6-7 months. We are using the platform for financial reporting, budgeting, WIP (construction) reporting and people planning. We are looking forward to be able to get rid of all excel processes within our business and do account reconciliations in the platform as well.
  • User Friendly Platform
  • Great Customer Service
  • Security Features
  • Template Studio - Building from scratch
  • Data Integration
  • Excel features - not all available in Prophix
Prophix is relatively easy to use! The customer service is top notch and the capabilities are endless. We have struggled with template creation and the overall switch from excel to a platform. The learning resources are great to have but would love to have easier use of the cube features.

We use it for forecast, reporting and budgeting in our company that turns out monthly, quarterly and yearly reports. We also have a very robust process that uses Detail Planning Manager, Capital and Depreciation as well as line item details. It has been a big upgrade over Excel which we use to use.
  • Budgeting

  • Install for fat client

We have found it to be more helpful for the planning where some Excel features were lacking. For instance calculations are something that it does well. The user interface is also something that is better for our users who are not in the finance world and we feel it is a better option

We use Prophix to consolidate financial results of the companies within our group on a monthly basis. We also use Prophix to assist our group in the annual budgeting and forecasting period. Our group has 9 operating companies and 2 holding companies, and the product works great for our needs and size.
  • Allows for easy structuring of a groups legal entities and business units
  • Manages multiple currency organizations
  • Automates a large portion of the monthly consolidation process
  • Processing speed
  • Ability to edit templates doesn't function exactly as an excel sheet would
  • Import processes should automatically update for the following year if user selects 'no changes'
Prophix would be well suited for an organization that has many contributors to the annual budgeting process. A great feature about the product is numerous individuals can be setup as contributors to the software which allows them to input basic financial information (such as business unit revenue and costs) and not rely as much on the finance team to input all information received from BU's. Companies with massive amounts of data and assumptions driving their financials might not be a fit for Prophix as processing speeds can be slow.

Primary Planning (Budget/Forecast) tool and financial reporting suite for main and individual entities as well as contract status and WIP reporting
  • Affordable
  • Excel Plug in is very useful
  • Model manager provides great flexibility
  • Excel Plug in can be glitchy and does no always save changes back to the server
  • Excel Plug in can only be used for ad hoc reports; if this had template functionality, would be a significant improvement
  • Task log error messages are difficult to interpret
Well suited for annual budget and quarterly forecasting process. Template Studio provides flexibility to set up reporting based on the user's needs. Personnel (DPM) model is very detailed but we currently don't have functionality available to pull in actuals which makes analysis difficult.

Prophix is being used across the organization for budgeting, planning, and reporting. It provides a single location to house all financial budgets and plans, as well as supporting information for those plans. It is also our company's financial reporting tool. It integrates well with our current ERP system, Great Plains. It is easy to maintain, not requiring support from our Technical Services department.
  • Allocation of costs between departments and across divisions is made easy. Once the initial setup has been completed, the logic is applied across the company for budgeting and planning.
  • Personnel planning is very straightforward and easy to maintain. All calculations are set up and applied as new personnel are added. It is easy to update rates, without having to update for each staff member individually.
  • The system is very flexible for report creation. Basic parameters are required. Actual financial data is provided via a data view, rather than pulling data into the solution and storing it. This is great as it is not taking up additional storage for data that exists elsewhere.
  • When clients are signed on and implementation begins, clients should be given access to Prophix Academy and told they should complete the pre-implementation training prior to starting implementation. This would provide the client with some basic structure of the system allowing them to ask educated questions throughout the implementation process.
  • Given that we have only been using the system for approximately 7 months, I do not have any other suggestions for improvement at this time.
Budgeting and planning of personnel is made easy with tax calculations done in the background by Prophix, requiring only rate updates annually. Prophix makes it easy to plan for staffing changes, without needing to recreate basic data. Companies needing to create multiple scenarios for various reasons can easily do this. There is no need to create the set-up from scratch. You are able to build upon previously created versions or scenarios easily. This is a great time saver. Once you select the scenario you would like to use as your plan, it is easily saved and applied to reporting. Workflows are easy to set up and maintain in Prophix.

The main reason I use Prophix is for building financial reports and consolidation headcount data. This software makes it extremely easy for me to get specific data points out to various stakeholders, as well as a quick and easy way for me to view financial stability in our market. The dashboards have been a very helpful tool for checking statuses.
  • Report customization
  • Easy to use interface
  • Support
  • Within the Template studio, great ability for customization would be nice.
  • DPM schedule inputs have been reported hard to use.
  • Greater flexibility with dashboarding.
A scenario where is it well suited is during month end. The ability to drill across into SAP to see direct journal entries, makes variance analysis easier to complete in a timely fashion. A scenario where it is not suitable is be able to filter between various cost centers or a specific group of cost centers (non-alternate hierarchy) within a dashboard or report.

Prophix has been a key part of our company's monthly reporting through the efficiency gains and ease of use of the software. Our team now has the capabilities to review operating expenses on a daily basis and make the operational changes if necessary to achieve our financial goals and milestones. Also, the additional flexibility of budgeting and forecasting within Prophix has moved forward our analytics by light years. These advancements give our Management team the best possible decision-making tools to navigate our business through any challenging situation.

We use Prophix for some month-end close processes, releasing monthly internal financial binders to senior leaders, quarterly re-forecasting of all business units, and completing our annual budgeting process.
  • Ad hoc analysis is a useful tool to quickly look things up.
  • Info flexing information between forecast versions is a great tool.
  • Microsoft 365 integration has been a great addition as well.
  • Report Binders - more filtering options.
  • Making dashboard building simpler.
  • More flexibility in template building (less rigid).
Prophix is well-suited for organizations wanting to build forecast models beyond one year. The ability to also have multiple forecast iterations within a year to compare against has proved to be valuable. We have found that "preliminary" internal statement reviews each month have sped up using Prophix. We load in all supporting data/financials and review the preliminary statements before closing our ERP for the month. Prophix would be less appropriate if you wanted a tool that encompassed all your month-end processes, including working papers (this may exist, but we haven't utilized it).

We use Prophix to consolidate financial data from several locations each currently on different ERP systems. We heavily rely on Prophix for reports within their platform but also use their excel add-on (analyzer) to create custom reports in excel. It has been great! The reporting and functionality can be tailored to our exact needs. We also use their workflows and report binders to help guide out month-end close process and automatically send out reports.
  • Consolidate trial balances with multiple currencies
  • Dynamic reporting capabilities in Prophix and in excel
  • Workflows and Report Binders
  • Financial Planning with their Detail Personnel Manager and CAPEX modules
  • Recommended dashboards
  • Improve excel formulas; they can be difficult to remember what dimensions go where in the formula
Consolidations, reporting, dashboards, and planning are all great tools. They bring everything together into one system. It would be great to see some balance sheet reconciliation tools added as your trial balance data is already in the system. I love the ERP integration as well. Data is uploaded to Prophix at your desired interval.

We implemented Prophix to help with the roll up issue of too many excel worksheets during budget season. It was a game changer to our day to day budgeting processes. We continue to add additional reporting, data sources and labor information to continue to grow with our day to day use.
  • Data Roll Up within multiple companies/departments
  • Workflow Management for Regular or Seasonal Tasks
  • Budget building
  • The dashboard functionality is very elementary.
  • Stock reporting to help get things going would be helpful.
Prophix has saved our accounting team hours of data checking from when we used to use Excel. The budget piece alone is worth every bit of having the software. But the ability to continue to grow into it is also huge.

We use Prophix for developing our budget, forecasting, and reporting. We are finding additional uses for allocating expenses and end-user budget status reporting.
  • Reporting in multiple ways without much extra effort
  • Budgeting for personnel
  • Most allocation uses are easy, but allocating from one account to multiple accounts is difficult
  • Sometimes, formatting a report after changing something is annoying, but it has gotten better
It is an amazing tool for personnel planning and budgeting. It isn't as useful for a form/process that requires a lot of writing; it works well for smaller bits of writing, example: justification of purchase, but for something like submitting a large project plan for approval, not so much in my opinion.

We use it for annual budgeting process. We mainly were looking for a new product to make it easier for end users to go through the planning process. We wanted a robust simple to use tool and we felt like Prophix was a great fit.
We also use it for monthly financial reports to management. Monthly reporting to the board.
We have now started to look into the new functionality of Predictive Forecasting. It is still in early stages but it has great potential.
Prophix also gave us the ability to analyze data much quicker. Ad hoc functionality is a great tool for slicing and dicing data.
  • Integrates with Sage X3

Prophix is a great tool and perfectly suited for planning and forecasting. It provides many tools to create templates, scenarios and different workflows to accomplish a successful planning/forecasting process. It is great for reporting financials. You have a great tool to create/edit custom reports for any user in the company. It also provides the tools to share consolidated reporting for users, for example a division manager might want to look at the individual departments and a division roll up. All of it can be automatically distributed from Prophix. Prophix is great at providing the ability to slice and dice or analyze data that is within the cube.

We are a non-profit organization that uses Prophix for expense forecasting across multiple grants and contracts. We also track FTE projection for employees across projects and plan to begin expanding our use of revenue projections in the coming months.
  • Ad Hoc reporting allows the user to look at data in a variety of ways
  • Once the templates are set up correctly, there is little maintenance and a low chance of accidentally changing formulas
  • Processes are great for efficiently moving data
  • We have struggled with slow load times due to the complexity of our set up but are working with Prophix to resolve this.
It works well for expense and FTE projections.

Prophix is used to create the annual budget for our organization. It is the market leader in using different modules to budget both personnel and revenue.
  • Budget personnel
  • Budget revenue
  • Budget depreciation
  • formatting of upload files can be tricky
  • error messaging could be better
  • there can be a lag when cycling through data
Prophix is perfect for budgeting individual headcount for medium sized companies. Also very good at budgeting revenue based on individual leases with specific escalation dates. Finally, very good at budgeting depreciation based on a loaded capital plan and implementation date.

We use Prophix for budgeting and monthly board and management reporting. We have a financial reporting and a personnel cube currently created and transiting to a fixed asset cube.
  • Easy Board reporting build
  • Access to information quickly after daily interface
  • Budgeting at a management level
  • Waterfall graphs could use improvement
  • Building Word documents with all the reviews
  • Formatting could be expanded
I would highly recommend for reporting and budgeting based on how robust your monthly financial reports are. There is a learning curve on how to use Prophix, but it is basic. The dashboards are great for things being up to date and at your fingertips.
