Prophix - CPM made easy
Overall Satisfaction with Prophix
We use Prophix for financial reporting and planning, We use DPM as well for fixed asset planning. All department heads and managers use Prophix for budgeting/planning purposes.
- Budget process streamlining.
- Customer Support - top notch and responsive.
- Once you get the hang of template creation and understand how Prophix cubes are structured, creating reports is a breeze.
- Having their employees understand financial consolidations and how to accomplish it either within Prophix or our ERP, and ensuring everything ties out.
- We've had some struggles with Implementation Consultants giving us bad guidance and costing us time and money. Stuff that was easily preventable and should have been caught ahead of time rather than after.
- We have streamlined our budgeting process immensely
- We have expanded our reporting capabilities exponentially with Prophix
Data integration is complex but easier if you can write SQL queries. We have myriad data sources we use to import into Prophix - SQL queries, Excel files, text files, etc. Data Connectors are easy to setup once you've done a few. You can setup processes to automate the import of data which really is a nice feature.
Doesn't affect us either way
- BOARD
We liked the Board product but were put off by a the tone of conversations with a few of their people. BI360 was too expensive for what we wanted. We chose Prophix because we really liked their people and they worked with us on pricing.

We utilize workflow to streamline our budget process, and it works quite well. We use cell comments to communicate variances and worthwhile notes to management and other users. This feature has proven very useful!
We use Prophix report binders for distribution, allowing users to receive customized packages of monthly and other reports.
