Overall Satisfaction with Prophix
Prophix is being used in the insurance services division of our organization. It is being used by multiple products but only this division. We use it for reporting, forecasting, and budgeting. Additionally, our administrative department owners use Prophix for headcount budgeting and regular budget vs. actuals reporting.
- Allocation logic
- Template studio
- Drill accross
- Work Flow - allowing multiple users to submit forecast/budget information and roll-up to total
- Better integrated with Microsoft (excel)
- We had a difficult transition to the Cloud version and were less than thrilled with our customer support throughout the process. The entire process took over a year.
- Streamlined budgeting
- Streamlined forecasting
- Detailed level planning (DPM)
We're able to open processes to multiple users (finance owners of each of our multiple product lines) so that they are able to submit budgets and forecasts within Prophix. My team then consolidates all submissions within Prophix and works through high level adjustments/consolidating changes. It's easier than asking for excel templates from all areas and can all be done within Prophix. We can also save prior versions so that we can do detailed level comparisons of prior version vs. current version to be able to explain the changes from one month to the next.
Our data from our general ledger (PeopleSoft) sometimes runs into errors/issues when importing after month-end close. We often have to contact Prophix for assistance. We'd prefer to be able to troubleshoot ourselves, but sometimes are not given a thorough explanation as to what went wrong in the first place.
We've been utilizing the cloud for over a year now. We enjoy the cloud environment for the most part. The integration was difficult and time consuming for my team.

Prophix Feature Ratings
Growing with Prophix
We've had success automating our budgeting & forecasting process. We also use this as our main reporting tool and utilize the many drill across options so that we can dive into AP detail, T&B detail, journal line detail, etc. all in one system without having to run queries.
We really only utilize it for finance functions at this point.
