Affordable tool with growing user base. Easy to use.
Overall Satisfaction with Prophix
We use Prophix for managing our annual operating budget and projections.
Pros
- Easy to use. Easy to set up views and templates. Runs reports for budget comments across departments.
- Integrates with Microsoft Dynamics. Allows users to drill into G/L detail
- Useful for analysis. Allows pivoting and cutting/slicing summaries and easily changing views to show leaf descendants of the members.
Cons
- Slow. Opening a new view or entering a comment often has a several second delay. Should just be instant. Running a comment report takes almost a minute.
- Limited licenses - have to juggle number of users.
- Ad hoc view does not list your cost centers in a logical order and it is not as simple as a FRX frd file where the tree of cost centers is cleanly outlined and you can drill into levels of the tree without getting lost and having to go back to a long list. Ad hoc simply has a long list of cost centers that are not in order.
- Saves time from doing a budget manually in a bunch of Excel spreadsheets which are prone to user error.
- More self-service - department managers can go into Prophix to look up G/L detail, budget comments, etc.
