Overall Satisfaction with Prophix

Prophix is being used by two main groups:
1) Finance department, for automated consolidations and financial reports
2) Capital project managers, for budgeting and variance reporting

Pros

  • Built on Microsoft SQL Server stack, which is ideal for our org as our other systems are based on the same and we can set up highly customized integrations using familiar technology.
  • Robust framework for Detailed Planning of HR, CAPEX, etc. plus ability to define workflows to support custom business processes in these areas.

Cons

  • In general, pace of innovation and development is somewhat slower than what I have come to expect from leading software companies. I have not seen a truly "new" idea or feature introduced in the 5 years I have been a customer, although I have no complaints about the functionality it does support.
  • Streamlined budgeting and planning
  • Streamlined consolidated financial reporting
Support is responsive and knowledgeable. I have often had support cases get escalated directly to a member of the dev team while on the call, in order to help them understand the issue fully.
Prophix had the feature set we wanted, at the most competitive price, and could be deployed on-prem.
Prophix is ideal for organizations that want to formalize their processes around consolidated reporting, planning and/or forecasting.
