Overall Satisfaction with Planful (formerly Host Analytics)

We are an implementation partner and reseller with Planful. We have completed 60+ successful Planful implementations and focus our sales efforts on the solution.
  • Inherent accounting logic: credit vs debit.
  • Ease of use: Particularly reporting.
  • Ease of adoption for end users: Excel syntax.
  • Stability of environment.
  • Support: It is a difficult service to consistently do well.
  • Partner support.
  • Strong sale and resell profile.
  • Very good to implement; projects move quickly and are successful.
  • Resell agreements should be more generous.
We do not use Planful, we have benefitted greatly from the use of automation by our clients, it is very popular.
It is very easy.
