Chart Insights extends the important details contained within dashboards, and analyzes the complete dataset behind the dashboard, automatically surfacing the data relationships not obvious in dashboard visualizations alone. It then provides a summary of key performance metrics found buried within Prophix charts.  It also summarizes the important insights in plain English.Screenshot of Prophix's self-serve dashboards and visualizations, directly integrated with data, workflow tasks, announcements, and external URLs and databases.  Dashboard Studio helps users to be informed and make better business decisions.Screenshot of detailed interactive charts and graphs that Prophix offers to uncover insights.

  • Flexibility. Prophix is flexible in data sources and combining those sources for unique reporting and analysis
  • Scalability. Able to process large volumes of data at scale
  • Able to calculate projections based on very detailed items
  • Implementation can be difficult initially since the product is so flexible

  • The various dimensions allow you to "slice and dice" your data with great efficiency.
  • The modeling functions are very helpful, whether planning for personnel or CAPEX.
  • The Ad hoc reporting has been especially useful for quick reports.
  • The functionality seems limitless. If you able to allocate resources to maximize Prophix you will not be disappointed; however, it does require some formula prowess to achieve results.
  • Part of the reason I am not currently using Prophix is the process to import the data from my ERP.
  • Mastering the functionality of the software takes time.
  • For me, I need to be in Prophix almost daily to build proficiency.
  • Update- this still holds true.

  • Easy to use. Easy to set up views and templates. Runs reports for budget comments across departments.
  • Integrates with Microsoft Dynamics. Allows users to drill into G/L detail
  • Useful for analysis. Allows pivoting and cutting/slicing summaries and easily changing views to show leaf descendants of the members.
  • Slow. Opening a new view or entering a comment often has a several second delay. Should just be instant. Running a comment report takes almost a minute.
  • Limited licenses - have to juggle number of users.
  • Ad hoc view does not list your cost centers in a logical order and it is not as simple as a FRX frd file where the tree of cost centers is cleanly outlined and you can drill into levels of the tree without getting lost and having to go back to a long list. Ad hoc simply has a long list of cost centers that are not in order.

  • Provides a plethora of options for analyzing data, either numerically or graphically.
  • Allows the user to get as granular as you like in creating budgets, and in creating mathematical relationships between related gl accounts.
  • Can be applied & used across a wide range of departments. Useful for any type of data analysis whether numerical or other.
  • It would be nice if it had better integration with Quickbooks. As it currently stands, you have to use a third party program to "translate" the database from QB to SQL for Prophix to import the data. I spend more time than I like validating data, but this has more to do with the limitations and shortcomings of QB than Prophix.
  • The process of updating the software is rather cumbersome and involved.

  • Prophix allows managers to review in detail their department expenses.
  • Managers can write comments and line item details during budgeting that allows for detailed descriptions.
  • Detailed Planning Manager is awesome.
  • Prophix customer service is some of the best I have experienced.
  • Slow performance with complicated formulas and lots of data.
  • Sometimes does not save to cube but does not let the user know and why.
  • Difficult sometimes to debug templates and processes
  • Wish you could set up default page members for templates.
  • Would like to see ability to use template calculation process for templates with annual time periods.

  • Prophix is web-based and can be linked to Active Directory authentication. This allows end users access to budget reports from any Internet accessible computer while still requiring authentication with your company's user credentials.
  • Prophix has a "drill across" function that allows an end user to easily display transaction details for any selected line item expense. Not only is detail provided for the current billing cycle, but all YTD details are displayed.
  • While the web page is a responsive web page (meaning the page size adjusts to the screen size of the device), it is not 100% responsive. This results in a less than desired user experience (in other words, accessing the web page on a phone is possible but can be a bit frustrating).

  • Prophix makes personnel planning faster and more accurate than using spreadsheets.
  • Prophix makes budgeting and forecasting easier and more accurate than using spreadsheets.

  • Consolidations -- We can easily enter data in a multi-dimensional way that allows us to analyze our data in an efficient and meaningful way.
  • Automatic Processing -- Scheduled imports, currency conversion, and allocations allow for us to have the most up to date data
  • Quick Ad Hoc Reporting -- The ad-hoc application allows for quick analysis and reporting
  • Report building can be difficult at times, especially when moving data views, adding/removing rows and columns, and resetting data views.
  • Having too many versions in the Versions dimension slows down the system a bit.
  • Dashboards are available but are limited in capabilities

  • Prophix provides us a place to drive specific data out of our ERP into a format where it can be analyzed in many different ways (across time, across departments, across accounts, etc.).
  • Prophix gives us multiple ways to analyze the data that we have chosen. Along with data entry points for items in our goals or budgets, there are also ways to use formulas of different types to project future costs or revenues based upon assumptions that you program into the system. The "What If" can be built and then switched on or off to see the changes.
  • Prophix doesn't limit the types or volume of data you want to analyze. If you have multiple years of data, it doesn't slow down because you have to keep using the same formulas over and over to churn out results. The formulas are separate from the data which allows the results to flow much faster than spreadsheets.
  • I think that Prophix could structure their support and offerings based upon the needs/skill level of their customers. Customers that don't have the expertise on staff could be given additional help to develop their use of the software. Those with a higher skill level could be shown the depth of the product to gain additional ideas on different ways or items to analyze. Thus, increasing their own knowledge base as a springboard for additional customers.

  • Pivot table like ability to view and adjust information via ad-hoc.
  • Prophix uses processes called infoflexes which are extremely flexible and enable you to easily automate very complex allocation logic.
  • Provides the ability to drill into sub-detail via their "Drill Across" functionality.
  • The built-in report builder is clunky and limited in terms of ability to format reports.
  • The performance (on-premise, not cloud) can be slower than users would like, particularly when dealing with lots of data within DPM.
  • Error messages are not particularly helpful, even for the administrators. Still have to frequently contact Prophix to understand what an error message means.
  • Workflow functionality is extremely limited and minimally customizable.
  • Ability to control aspects of security is limited, and requires creative workarounds in order to meet the required internal review structure.

  • Built on Microsoft SQL Server stack, which is ideal for our org as our other systems are based on the same and we can set up highly customized integrations using familiar technology.
  • Robust framework for Detailed Planning of HR, CAPEX, etc. plus ability to define workflows to support custom business processes in these areas.
  • In general, pace of innovation and development is somewhat slower than what I have come to expect from leading software companies. I have not seen a truly "new" idea or feature introduced in the 5 years I have been a customer, although I have no complaints about the functionality it does support.

  • We have four sources of data. Prophix allows us to consolidate our data and create reports that present a uniform appearance.
  • Prophix makes it easy to import data and automates the process so that once set up you can let it run on schedule.
  • You can create new reports using the same data. This ensures that you have uniform numbers in all reports (that can be tough with spreadsheets).
  • Training and help resources are fabulous. Customer support is important to Prophix and they work very hard at it. They want you to learn to the level you want to learn. They guide you to be independent of them with your in house development (although if you prefer to pay them to set everything up they'll do that too).
  • I can't think of room for improvement. They seem to come out with upgrades before I've really thought of needing that function.

  • Lots of online training to get you started
  • Great Help Desk support
  • Lots of webinars to keep updated with all the new additions that they add to Prophix
  • Great feedback website. I can see that the feedback that I give to Prophix actually gets their attention. A couple of my ideas have helped Prophix improved its performance.
  • A lot of upgrades to new versions. Although, each upgrade gives additional functionality, it is hard to keep up with the latest version.
  • Graphing is not ideal in Prophix. This is supposed to be additional graphing functionality coming out later this year.
  • Speed. I wish template studio was faster to open and the data entry portion.
  • Overseas. My sales people struggle with the speed even more when they are in Europe and Asia.

  • Personnel planning and budgeting - enables more accurate personnel budgeting by using rates and rules to drive out detailed benefit costs.
  • Managing hierarchies such as accounts, cost centers and companies easily and in one spot.
  • Ad Hoc Reporting - slice and dice data by accounts, cost centers, companies, etc., with the easy to use ad hoc tool.
  • Would like an easier way for a budget manager to budget to a new account.
  • Would like a way to set up rounding factors when entering/loading budgets.
  • Would like the building of report templates to be easier.
