    ProphixWorkday Adaptive Planning
    Considered Both Products
    Prophix Software
    Chose Prophix
    We compared Prophix with Board and Adaptive Planning. Prophix seemed to be much more user friendly when compared to Board. It was just a more robust product.
    It did stack very well with Workday Adaptive Planning, but what set them apart was that Prophix has a great …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Workday Adaptive Planning had some excellent looking features such as report design and processing speed and efficiency. Fiserv Prologue really excels at providing banking specific functionality built-in. We ultimately felt the Prophix provides the best blend of the other …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We chose Prophix because of their better service, their Canadian presence, cost and overall it seemed a better match to our needs. Workday seemed like it was for bigger companies and came at a higher cost.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Very simple end-user experience, easy to implement, ability to link to and from Microsoft D365.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Workday seems as though it had similar features, price point was much higher. We selected Prophix because we had it many years ago before the cloud and several new features.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We found Prophix to be more flexible than the other solutions. It proved to have less of an implementation timeframe, and we felt more comfortable supporting the system ourselves post-implementation. We were also surprised to find that Prophix's pricing was more competitive …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Both of these other solutions were on our top 3 list. Based on responses to single-sign-on and multi-factor authentications, Solver was rated our number 3 choice. Workday Analytics was more "polished" and offered a great product. In the end, it was the customer service …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix has proven to be a low cost, responsive solution compared to these other products. Prophix continues to make improvements to its product in the 5 years since we acquired the product. The team at Prophix is responsive, easy to work with, and eager to help. We are very …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    At the end of the day we felt like all three could probably do what we wanted - one was considerably more expensive than where Prophix came in at, so we eliminated it. The other would've been a cheaper solution, but we felt like it was a bit of a downgrade, and we liked the …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix has been easier to use and easier to understand how it functions and operates.
    Their initial training in getting Prophix is very helpful in getting a good understanding of the product.
    I like dealing directly with the software company I am using. Adaptive we were using a …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix definitely has the cost vs benefit nailed down. Our decision really came down to which product would accomplish what we needed for the price point we were looking at. With Adaptive being purchased by Workday, there were so many unknowns. Prophix had such a great demo …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    I have not used any other product like Prophix but I have looked at Adaptive and it seems to be very similar. I have only watched a video or two on Adaptive Insights, so I don't have a lot of data to compare the two. Adaptive's detailed planning did seem a little more in depth.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix was very close to Adaptive. Ultimately, we chose it over Adaptive for reasons of ease of adoption, clearly outlined post-implementation costs & support, and the fact that the company only produces one software, and focuses its attention only on this.

    NetSuite was a …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We selected Prophix over Adaptive because they seemed to be able to tackle our detailed multi-tiered allocations and adaptive could not do that. Also, adaptives customer service was definitely not as robust as Prophix.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We have not yet purchased Adaptive Insights. From the demos we have seen it works very similar to Prophix, which we are a huge fan of. If Prophix had a better way to connect with Workday we would probably stick with it for a few more years. We will be switching to Adaptive …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    The company was looking for a robust tool and during the demo sessions the key budget contributors were satisfied with the user friendliness and positive outlook on the success of Prophix.

    The reporting in Prophix is far superior to Adaptive.

    Compared to Host Analytics and Adaptive, Prophix provides more value for the dollar, especially when we deploy multiple models. Solution set is also comparably built out, so we are not missing any critical functionality. Self-maintenance by finance is also comparable to Host …

    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    We liked Prophix's user-friendly appearance. The prices were similar, so for us, it was about the interface or how we perceive how easy it would be to use across the college. We brought together a variety of users from across campus to view a demonstration by Prophix and people …

    Chose Prophix
    For our specific use and purpose, most of the packages we reviewed would meet practically all of our needs. Therefore, it came down to the ease/timing of implementation, the availability of support personnel, and the ability to customize for our specific needs. Prophix met …

    Hyperion was cost prohibitive for a company our size, and was eliminated early in the process. We evaluated Budget Maestro and Adaptive Planning prior to purchasing Prophix, but decided on Prophix due to combination of lowest cost to implement/maintain, most intuitive …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    The main reasons of why we selected Prophix are cost, value, ease of use, speed of implementation to take this into production, and demonstration of the product to us. We covered all the competitors out there in terms of reviewing on-site or conference call - Host Analytics, …
    Incentivized
    Chose Prophix
    Prophix is deficient to other budgeting software I've reviewed such as Budget Maestro and Adaptive Insights as they are windows based and feature drop down menus and copy and paste feature. The also offer better auditing trail and vendor level budgeting. I was sold on Prophix …
    Chose Prophix
    Easier to implement, cost effective and user friendly.
    Workday
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    After researching several CPM products, Adaptive and Prophix actually both met our needs quite well. The Adaptive Sales & Design Team went above and beyond in the early stages of exploring whether Adaptive could meet some of our very specific needs. Adaptive's customer …

    When we were evaluating the software solutions we wanted:
    1) A product that would efficiently consolidate our annual budget.
    2) Something that would be easily adopted by the entire company.

    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    Adaptive provided the best solution for the price given how we wanted to deploy the solution. For our size business they appear to the be best in class solution. Host Analytics appeared to provide the same functionality, but was for a more distributed budgeting and …
    Incentivized
    Chose Workday Adaptive Planning
    We look hard at Host Analytics and softly at Longview and Prophix. Adaptive's advantages was ease of use, offered a full solution and pricing. We wanted to roll this out to the entire organization and felt Adaptive met those needs best and could grow with the company.

    Cognos - capabilities are very similar. Cognos does allow a "push-down" (e.g. current rollup of Outside Services is $600k, enter $1mm at the highest level and the additional $400k is spread to the lowest level based on the existing spread).

    We selected Adaptive Insights for two reasons:
    1. They are cloud based. With the software being managed on the cloud, we do not need to worry about managing servers, broken data tables, or other back-end concerns. We also don't have to wait for our (already taxed) IT department …

    We're a mid-size organization working with a shoestring budget and an IT skeleton crew...not much room to dedicate resources to a platform like this fully. Having it SaaS based is helpful for system management through their Helpdesk system, and a single platform also helps streamline the knowledge needed by our developers when integrating other business aspects to Workday.

    Prophix has always performed consistently. We are using on-premise so many factors can contribute to slower than desired performance, most having nothing to do with Prophix itself. If we move to the web-client cloud based solution I believe performance will even be better.

    All aspects of Adaptive Insights perform well. One area that I wish was quicker was integration. When importing data from Intacct our accounting ERP platform, it can sometimes take 4 hours for the import to process. The earlier imports are done, the quicker they complete. My estimate for a quick upload is about two hours.

    Trust the expertise of very strong 3rd party implementers. Having deployed Adaptive at a separate company before, I thought I knew it all (hubris, I know). Fortunately, I began to (very quickly) trust the judgment of our Carlson implementation team, and they provided invaluable insights and best-in-class processes that have benefitted me and my team greatly.

    We felt Prophix was much more flexible than Briq and offered a more solid financial reporting and budgeting package. Briq is more custom built solution-focused. They build solutions to fit your specific needs. The primary reason we went with Prophix is that we wanted something we could tweak and design on our own after the initial build-out of the solution.

    Workday became our choice because it is fully web-based and easily integrates with other systems. The learning curve for Workday was shorter than that of Dynamics. The reporting tools in Workday are more user-friendly than that of Dynamics. However Workday did not have Check Printing tools which are available in Dynamics. The organization started a project to digitize all financial transactions so it was not a priority feature. When it comes to scaling up the functionalities of Workday it was much easier than Dynamics.

    • It's facilitated a better financial literacy and management by the non-financial managers in the company, giving them a much better ability to see what they're spending, control it, and plan better in the future.
    • It's hard to quantify the ease of model and version management, but we could never do what we're doing now with our current staff. It would take a small army to replicate anything close to what Adaptive pulls off using Excel, if it's even possible.
