Overall Satisfaction with Planful (formerly Host Analytics)
We use Planful for reporting and planning purposes. Our reporting is shared throughout the entire company along with user access at each of our facilities. It has helped lead to more efficient and real time reporting. Also, we have utilized dynamic reporting to get fast and easy ad hoc reporting needs.

- User friendly.
- Support.
- Fewer clicks.
- Time saved.
- Improved reporting.
- Planning.
As mentioned our 3 month forecast has been moved into the system. Also, our MM&A team is in the process of moving their models into Planful. They are hopeful it will increase efficiency and free up time for them on a daily basis. We are working hand and hand to help.
Dashboard is a learning process but the training videos are helpful. I do wish there were more training videos available for specific tasks. Overall, dashboards are very useful. Particularly, we use these for leaders to show simplified reports. The interface is user friendly, allowing them to drill down to certain issues.
Reporting is very simple. Dynamic reporting allows for any user to perform thousands of different ad hoc reporting. Planning is way better than relying on a Excel spreadsheet.
Slightly different as we only used oracle for accounting purposes.
