  • Prophix software is a unified solution for our financial reporting needs. It is relatively easy solution to implement, cost effective and requires little upkeep maintenance.
  • Prophix has an excellent detailed planning management tool that allows us to easily account for our personnel budget and forecasting needs, fixed assets, and other balance sheet items.
  • Prophix has a line item detail feature that enables us to analyze down to the lowest detail level for our ease of financial and account reporting.
  • We are able to easily create multiple templates for financial reporting and answer the needs for our many individual business units.
  • Excellent tool to manage the workflow for the budget process.
  • Prophix has done an excellent job of continuous improvement of their product. They have addressed almost all of our concerns and issues over the 6+ years we have been on the product. Prophix can still improve performance when using large sets of data dimensions and multiple shared dimensions.
  • Enhancement to system to manage the complete accounting close workflow process.

  • Listens to customers. They are continuously building onto the product based on what customers are saying (such as User Conference, CAB, and Feedback forum).
  • The solution adapts to the organization, not the organization having the adapt to the software.
  • Excellent customer service department. When problems happen (rarely) or I need to consult with someone at Prophix, their response time is quick, and with the answer I need.
  • Senior Management Team are visible. They don't hide behind the curtain. I can call up any VP to discuss any issue.
  • The product works!
  • Overall, the product is excellent. Where they are currently working on is their web-based solution. What they have done so far is great, but can't wait to see more modules rolled out.

  • Data Entry: There are many ways to input data into Prophix,whether it be manually, by import, or by calculation. This gives users of differing preferences the ability to enter data as they please.
  • Reporting: it is very easy for us to create reports that group the data by office and g/l account.
  • Workflow: Prophix makes it easy for us to see where everyone is within the budget cycle.
  • We are very pleased and can't think of anything that we are missing.

  • In the analytics aspect, the ad-hoc analysis allows us to drill down and really allows for specific general ledger budgeting.
  • The template designer/template studio is very helpful when doing monthly reports.
  • It takes a really long time to switch versions within the ad-hoc analysis, the time it takes is extremely annoying. Sometimes it can be 10-15 minutes to open different parts, depending on how large the version is.
  • The "help" tab is not the most user-friendly when trying to learn the different commands.

  • The ability to quickly change the layout of the data in either Ad-hoc view or Template view is extremely powerful. As easy to use a pivot tables, easier management of the data.
  • The ability to use MDX for formula creation in dimension setup works very well for us as some of the KPIs we report on can be complex.
  • The navigation throughout the system is intuitive and makes learning the system easier. This is great because new users can get up to speed quickly.
  • The report design within Template Studio in the Smart Client is very cumbersome. It has an Excel-like feel however it is not quite as smooth as Excel, especially border management.
  • Report distribution is only available to licensed users, would be nice to be able to enter any email address as most of the viewers of the report are looking at a static Excel file or pdf report and do not need Prophix access
  • Multiple reports require individual distribution or they get merged into one Excel file. This is fine if the report only has a couple of pages, but a monthly report (of which there are 2) with 31 pages becomes a very cumbersome Excel file.

  • Implementation specialists are very good, helping with initial cube design.
  • Custom report design and access to real-time data is done well.

  • Regular automated reporting - Easy to set up and schedule the processes needed to load, combine, and calculate data for reports, and then distribute the reports according to flexible schedules
  • Easy to set up the data uploads from various sources, then automate the uploads - Prophix can read .txt, .csv, and Excel formats, set up mapping to correct or consolidate overly detailed (or wrong) source data. (Most systems do this; Prophix is just much easier than most others.)
  • Clean interface to manage data models - Again, all CPM systems do this, but the Model Manager in Prophix makes this easy. If it is easy, then it is more likely we will make real-time changes in the structures to keep up with the business changes, making our reporting more relevant and timely.
  • Generation of Excel based planning and reporting templates. Everyone still like to work in Excel, and this is just real easy in Prophix.
  • Scenario management is awkward in that related scenarios need to be at the same levels.
  • Calculated scenarios need to be exported and imported since they really do not exist within the data.
  • In the early versions of their latest 12 release, the charts are limited. (This is being enhanced with the current release which we do not yet have.)
  • When restoring a damaged data model, all changes to reports or templates since the last backup is lost. You can export prior to the restore, then import after the restore, but this is awkward and often hard to manage of there are lots of impacted reports.
  • Very limited direct Excel data access via Excel plugin.

  • Prophix is very flexible and easy to use. To do the cash flow projections, we needed to combine templates, with actual cost information and projected sales. The actual cost information is taking accrual information and converting it into cash. Projected sales are based on our order to cash cycle. All this comes together into an easy to review report. Best of all most of it is automated!
  • Prophix is also very good for power users to catch on to and learn very quickly. My Financial Analyst has started to take my reports and convert them into automated reports freeing up my time to focus on more pressing business issues.
  • I think Prophix could improve on auto formatting with recommendation of preprogramed in. For example, all budget numbers are converting into currency instead of raw numbers.
  • In reporting I think they can improve on the graphing presentation. There are a lot on premise software programs with cutting edge graphing capabilities. Prophix looks just like a spreadsheet. Nothing is wrong with this but more capability would be welcomed!

  • Prophix is very flexible. You can create reports however you need them.
  • Prophix seems to handle security very well. This makes reporting very efficient because you do not need to customize each report depending on what level of information an individual needs.
  • So far, Prophix's customer support has been very responsive.
  • I would like to be able to export reports in the web version out of Ad Hoc into excel. Sometimes I just need to dump out some data to manipulate outside of Prophix.
  • The help instructions are sometimes a little vague.
  • I'm looking forward to more functionality in the web version.

  • Make it easier to make quick analysis with information from our GL package which is load daily.
  • Having 4 years of history within the program makes comparison easier and much quicker.
  • Changing the budget over a 4 month budgeting process is far better than before. Many different versions.
  • The biggest positive is the flexibility to make changes.
  • Running updates to move information into your overall financial statements. Take time and end user complain about it.
  • Seeing the whole budget at one time for our end users without running process in the background. Example: moving information from personnel cube to our financial cube or from our revenues cubes having over 30 of this to financial budget statements
  • Printing of the budgets exporting to Excel or a PDF for better results instead within Prophix.
  • Designing a way to have comment and assumptions or the budgets in a easy to use and printable form. Currently done in Word.
  • Making template studio even more like Excel Designing takes more time and not as flexible.

  • Financial Reporting - reports are easy to set up, and can easily can also create very complex report involving report-based calculations or multiple dimensions. Reports are very consistent and reliable.
  • One-off reporting or analyses are easily supported using the Ad-Hoc tool. Easy to manipulate data across the various dimensions to get to the slice of data that best illustrates the business question.
  • Process Manager allows user to streamline actions and processed required for data loading/maintenance/report generation.
  • Ability to use Excel as the front end to an ad-hoc query would be helpful so that the query would be saved in excel and user could link to cells to provide dimensional inputs.
  • Ability to have alternative hierarchies in all dimensions.

  • Calculations (i.e. formulas) are created once and they always work. You don't have to worry about someone breaking or modifying the formula.
  • It will hold numerous years of data enabling good trending analysis.
  • Enables us to load data once, and then it's available for all required reports.
  • We find that speed of loading (data views, templates) and data entry is slow at times. It would be nice to know exactly what and where the problem is so that we can fix it.

  • Almost no IT interference is needed except for the initial setup.
  • Ease of use with drop down menus

  • Product constantly improving.
  • The Excel add-on could be improved to be able to pull multiple views into one tab as currently, it can only pull one view to one tab.
  • There could be more flexibility with the formulas in the accounts dimension to be able to only point to specific members in another dimension instead of all the members.,
