## Prophix Software Reviews
  ### 1. Strong for financial budgeting, reporting and consolidation

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert-Jan v. | Senior Consultant, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2016

**What do you like best about Prophix Software?**

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. 

**What do you dislike about Prophix Software?**

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


**Recommendations to others considering Prophix Software:**

I would strongly advise to take courses or onside training to get the maximise your investment. This allows you also to create own model and reports and be less dependant of consultants.

**What problems is Prophix Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Prophix for consolidation and reporting at holding companies, we import data from all the entities, transform the data to the reporting chart of account structure and run an automatic consolidation. As a result of this we can now do a monthly close in only 2 days instead of 5 days.
We use Prophix for budgeting and forecasting, we automatically distribute input templates to the budget owners, the enter the data and add comments. All the data is automatically imported and management can review the aggregated results. We have much more control over the budget process, We can do a couple of budget rounds before we come to the final budget and with the same process we run the monthly forecast process.

  ### 2. Prophix is an exciting finance tool with endless possibilities.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2017

**What do you like best about Prophix Software?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Prophix Software?**

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.

**Recommendations to others considering Prophix Software:**

Excellent choice but be patient through implementation and first 6 months of use...

**What problems is Prophix Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Prophix for our planning, forecasts, monthly financial comparisons, global financial consolidations, cashflows and product lines so we are trying to get the most efficient use out of the product.

  ### 3. A configurable product easily maintained by the business users 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tovi K. | Finance Manager, Planning Systems, Oil & Energy, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2017

**What do you like best about Prophix Software?**

The product doesn't require IT intervention except for the initial setup, backup, and the version upgrades. The tool used for designing reports is spreadsheet based and have some of the Excel functionalities built in. Setting up a process doesn't require any script knowledge and only drop down menus are used which makes it easy to setup and maintain. The helpdesk is quick to respond and the analysts are very knowledgeable. The product is constantly being improved.

**What do you dislike about Prophix Software?**

It would be better if the product was a little bit faster in running processes/reports.

**What problems is Prophix Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using Prophix for our actual month end management reporting purposes, as well as for our annual budget and rolling forecasts. 

  ### 4. Very flexible system, wish performance was better

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Joshua W. | Treasurer - Financial Systems, Planning & Analysis, Maritime, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2017

**What do you like best about Prophix Software?**

Flexible system that I can make changes to without needing to go to IT.  Also sits on Microsoft solution stack, which is what we use, so it makes it easy to access not only via Prophix, but directly via other means such as SQL/MDX queries or Excel pivot tables and CUBE functions

**What do you dislike about Prophix Software?**

Performance is still a problem for me - there seems to be a lot of overhead.  Also, when doing heavy duty MDX calculations, it seems that processors aren't fully utilized (seems like only one processor gets used, so if you have 4 processors, you will only get about 25% utilization - this might be a Microsoft problem with Analysis Services though, not sure).  Also, if they can't find a solution to a problem quickly, support seems to take FOREVER to fix things - I have several open tickets now that are YEARS old.

**What problems is Prophix Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Primarily using Prophix for budgeting process.  Prophix allows us to get away from spreadsheets and the related data integrity problems.  Also allows for workflows and the ability to gain visibility into the status of the budgeting process.

  ### 5. Budgeting and reporting fundamentals are well covered with Prophix Software.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rachel L. B. | Advisory Council Member, Non-Profit Organization Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2017

**What do you like best about Prophix Software?**

- Prophix Software facilitates the entering, review of and consolidating data across a number of projects, departments, locations and companies.
- The ease of loading and comparing budget versus actual financial performance
- The look and feel of EXCEL
- Ability to attach source documents and record budget assumptions

**What do you dislike about Prophix Software?**

- Prophix Software can be 'glitchy' in that applications or reports launched can continue to run without notice that something is wrong.
- Ability to develop forecast projections based on actuals
- User administration is clumsily
- Reporting and/or establishing reports not user friendly

**Recommendations to others considering Prophix Software:**

- Need dedicated AR Issues focus.
- Ongoing maintainenance of software

**What problems is Prophix Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Transparency to program (project) spend, e.g., who did what to whom ...

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

The drill down and drill across features of the software.  A user is able to do a lot of their own analysis.

Because it is a powerful product with a lot of capability, a person does need to spend time in the product to learn it and to start to get the big benefits of the product.

If you are looking for a reporting tool that can do so much more, and you are willing to spend the time and resources to dedicate and support it, you definitely need to look at Prophix.

**What problems is Prophix Software solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are currently using it for budgeting and forecast from a "bottoms up" approach.  We are more easily able to give supporting detail to the actual results to the department managers.
