Overall Satisfaction with Centage

We use Centage to prepare annual budgets but also for monthly reporting package. We have a complex business with multiple locations and departments across the locations. We budget at a very granular level. We use a lot of dirvers and calculations when preparing budgets. Centage tool offers a lot of flexbiliby to set up the budgets to match the business specific needs.

Pros

  • flexibility to match your business needs
  • easy to see what calculations are incorporated in the budget and make changes easily
  • excellent reporting tool
  • upload/download of data is very easy

Cons

  • Collapsing rows in the reports - it was a good feature in Budget Maestro but removed in Planning Maestro
  • Undo button would be good to have
  • Navigation is still complicated in some areas and new users have difficulty to learn the tool
  • multiple people can work at the same time on the budgets, which creates efficiency
  • real-time reports, which makes it easy to try different scenarios before making the final decision
  • no more corrupt excel reports

Yes

Centage is suited for all types of business. This is what makes this tool so great. It requires some expertise in setting it up and depending on how complex the business is, it may take longer than expected. It's a complex system and if you are not involved in the implementtion it might be hard to learn what is does.

    Thank you for the feedback. We are working hard to bring the most wanted features from Budget Maestro to the new Centage and we should bridge all the gaps by the end of this year. In the meantime, thank you for being a loyal customer and if you haven't already, please submit feedback through the app for any additional feedback you may have, we are listening.
