Prophix Rocks!
Overall Satisfaction with Prophix
Prophix is being used for financial planning and reporting. It is owned by the finance department but is used by the whole organization. It addresses the planning and reporting for the company...it is the one source of the truth.
Pros
- It performs complex allocations very well
- It manages workflow planning very well when trying to complete budgets
- It is extremely flexible and scalable to our business
- It is an extremely stable software
Cons
- More graphical or charting capabilities
- Better ways to manage alternative hierarchies within the dimensions
- Better Excel interaction
- Streamline planning with use of workflow
- One source of the truth
- Cheaper price point versus Hyperion
Data integration with Prophix is great - one of its many strengths. We use SQL scripts to staged data files...works great.
We host on-premise - that is important to us.....we don't need the cloud and it would not work for us as we need flexibility on refresh schedules.
