    Chose Prophix
    We carried out an evaluation with IBM, and some other national software that is not on the list, such as Lever Pro and Allstrategy. For IBM, our main problem was that the software representative wanted to sell something modular, thus losing all the functionality of a "blank …

    The learning curve to understanding Prophix is far less severe than it has been with other softwares. It requires much less time in order to learn how to be a beginning user and then each progression to deeper levels of understanding is remarkably easy. I appreciate the …

    Chose Prophix
    SSMS was used at my previous employer to pull data directly from SQL based server and manipulate that data through tables or "views" so that we could query that data into PowerBI. Prophix makes it much easier in the fact that you can create pivot table-like formats to easily …

    Director of Financial Planning and Analysis in Finance and Accounting at Echelon Supply and Service (Executive Office, 501-1000 employees)
    Chose Prophix
    We chose Prophix based on the desire to make a paradigm shift away from Excel and towards a more fully-featured web-based SaaS solution that would still allow for the utilization of Excel where it made sense. Prophix does this through an Excel add-on, while more comprehensive …
