Overall: Prophix is the best planning and expense analysis software I have seen. It has allowed me to streamline so many processes. This company also provides excellent training so that we have the ability to control the software and create whatever is needed. The consultants are knowledgeable and have helped us to customize the system to our company.

Pros: The Prophix Software is very versatile, starting with it creating a web-based platform. This was important for our company and allows the software to be updated quarterly without issue. We are able to use Prophix for Expense tracking, Expense and Capital planning, reforecasting, Compensation planning, Project tracking, Expense allocation, GAAP PLOB reporting, and still have several more tasks to implement through Prophix. The data can be sliced and diced many ways, and each user is able to do it however they like. It is easy to create or run existing reports. We have made many of our processes more efficient, and Prophix has allowed us to save more time than you can imagine. The software is easy to use and visually outstanding. The Prophix consultants were patient and supremely knowledgeable, personalizing and customizing the software to our company's needs.

Cons: There are so many options within Prophix that at times, it can be overwhelming. I think it's necessary to have a few Admin to create reports and assist users, so that the users do not have to know how to use everything.

Reasons for Choosing Prophix: Usability, consultant knowledge, customized demos, price

Reasons for Switching to Prophix: The budgeting process with BPC was choppy and unstable. We lost our budget input data several times without even being in the system. It was difficult to train users on and the time to update and save the budget sheets was incredibly painful. The BPC consultants promised us a customized software package and then left us hanging with a useless product.
