The way Prophix handle the licenses for DEV and UAT. They won't have those licenses and you have to buy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that is a big database to store financials. It is better than a ton of spreadsheets. I love setting up tasks to be pushed out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limitations of if I want to see the total of financials in a department forecast/budget then the option of Line Item details goes away unless I select Unspecified.

inconsistency in how to do the same functions. To submit is in a different location on template vs dpm is one example. If I am designing a template, formatting or options are accessed different if I am doing an Ad Hoc or a Dataview.

There is too much flipping between tabs to compare. It seem like there isn't a "one-stop-shop" to see what is needed. Setting up a report to pull that is a lot!

You can have more than one Ad-Hoc open at a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use - don't need to be an IT employee to be an administrator. Ad Hoc is a very powerful tool. The ability and ease of creating alternate hierarchies is a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up and maintaining security is somewhat cumbersome. The use of name sets is very powerful but there is no way to trace where they are used so maintenance can be challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prophix software has helped our company shorten our budget cycle and implement a successful forecasting process.

The report builder called template studio, this is an Excel style report builder which is very easy and user friendly but allows you to create very powerful templates.

The workflow manager allows you to create for example a budget process, which consists of various steps, you can set dependency and monitor the progress.

Financial controller is a module for financial consolidation, you can set up various types of ownership, link it to specific accounts and Prophix will automatically generate the eliminations journal entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prophix is based on Microsoft SSAS cubes, and for certain reports like top 20 customers you need to use MDX.

It is not possible to add more dimensions to your model once you created it. So you need to start over again if you want to add an extra dimension to your model.

You should try to limit the model to 6-7 dimensions otherwise it will cost you performance.

It doesn't not have the fancy interactive dashboards like PowerBI of Qlikview Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to have all the reports preformatted and after a brief import and consolidation to be able to immediately have them to management for review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prophix 12 has much more capability than its predecessor but the ease of using Prophix Enterprise is forever challenging P12 since the Legacy product was so user friendly and did not require as much help from IT and programmers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
