Overall Satisfaction with Prophix
This is the second company where I've used Prophix. At both companies, we started small with financial and basic operational data. At the first company, Prophix initially solved some complex budgeting issues and went on to manage our extensive monthly reporting package and solve a variety of operational reporting issues that went well beyond finance.
At the second company, we implemented in order to combine financial, payroll and operational data (all coming from different systems) into much more effective operational and management reporting. Prophix also allows users to drill down to basic detail as well as switch up the ways data is presented to better understand drivers. It's easy to present a variety of graphical versions of the data being analyzed in dashboards and reports that be dropped to all Office programs.

- I love the ability to pull data from many different systems into one place where I can automate and send out standard reports and easily create ad hoc analyses.
- Prophix can take days of laborious work in Excel and turn it into quick and easy analyses given the way the cubes are used.
- It saves me a ton of time creating and distributing extensive, professional-looking monthly reporting packages
- While Prophix listens to its users and constantly adds new features, the extent of the features can get confusing (trying to remember where they all are and how to use them).
- I would greatly appreciate a SaaS version. Currently, the only option is to host on our own servers.
- Massive increases in efficiencies in reporting and analysis
- When company was going through due diligence to be sold, it was easy to answer a variety of questions from potential purchases (improved professional image)
- More effective and thorough analysis leading to better decision-making
In terms of budgeting programs, Prophix is far and away the best. Its capabilities go way beyond what programs like Budget Maestro can do. In my searches, I haven't been able to find any other system with Prophix's capabilities that's also at their fairly low price point.
