Overall Satisfaction with Prophix
Used as data aggregation & reporting tool. We're utilizing this to export Multi-tab workbooks & provide reporting to executive level staff. This tool allows us to very flexibly change the Chart of Accounts, add new entities and quickly report and find outliers in the month-end closing process
- Ease of use
- Takes KPI Dashboarding to a new level
- Simple to administer
- Interface adjustments & configuration
- Dashboards need more configuration for Charting
- Simplified reporting packages
- Standardized Monthly report templates
- Transparency with formulas in distributed templates is HUGE!
It's added lots of flexibility in creating models & organizing our workforce for keeping track of where we are in the month end close process and planning cycle. The monthly planning cycles are much easier to close and ensure all formulas are accurate & consistent
We import data from 10 different sources, easily. The flat files let us provide non-standard data feeds from various places (HR, Operations teams). The direct SQL lets us query simply & efficiently. Excel Imports let us bring data in from all the other places we need. The scheduler work great, and has many flexible features. Would love to be able to just right click & re-run a process - but it's not too difficult to open the original file & run it on demand.
This is not important at all. We prefer to have our financial information deployed private network with no external cloud access.

- SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) and Oracle Analytics Cloud
Hyperion planning lacked the ease of administration -and moreover was even more complicated for end-users to work with. Prophix alleviates that complication - by making the administration easy - and ease of use for end-users even easier!

Consolidating P&L from three different source Accounting systems.
We had one go down due to corrupted backup and were able to close the month using a manual upload with existing template in a matter of hours
We use Prophix to review key FTE targets + actuals
It was great!
Using Prophix
The Cell comments are tremendously helpful - we use them for monthly reviews of each client + team performance.
Importing data from our other EDW systems to create productivity measures help quantify changes in financial performance
We utilize the report binders to deliver timely reporting, and drill through to help aide the month end close process
