Brixx vs. LivePlan

Brixx works exceptionally well in young, growing businesses where detailed finance expertise might not be available at the Board. It's structure also works well in fast-paced environments where there is the need to quickly determine the financial viability of a business venture, new product/service or programme. I have no scenarios where it is less well suited. The only "push-back" Ive ever had has been from spreadsheet obsessed "old school" finance officers, but in most cases, once they are fully exposed to the Brixx platform, their level of scepticism decreases sharply - but there are always those out there wedded to MS Excel...

All businesses require solutions and tools for organization and control of expenses, spreadsheets were always the first option, but since the arrival of LivePlan, all work is easier and more automated. With LivePlan we have charts and graphs that are automatically created based on our data, this is a great time and money saver. LivePlan is a tool that has worked from day one and has met our expectations in creating the total budget.

Brixx presents non-finance business leaders with its dashboards, which translate complex financial models into user-friendly, highly intuitive and impactful visual data. No other package I have used does so in such a powerful manner. At the same time, the back-end data capture and analytics is suitable for even the most stringent due diligence

When it comes to its overall functionality in terms of planning, budgeting and forecasting, there is no product that can beat LivePlan in that. The usability is also a differentiator of LivePlan from other products. Its User Interface is well organized, easy to learn and understand and more user-friendly making it easy to navigate through the entire system, access and use the various features it comes with.
