Brad Tingey Corporate Controller in Finance and Accounting at Golden State Foods (Food Production, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Planful Host Analytics was evaluated against Oracle's Hyperion EPM and in terms of speed to value was significantly quicker and easier to implement without a dedicated IT resource.

Ryan Andrus Senior Financial Analyst in Finance and Accounting at Flow International (Machinery, 501-1000 employees) Chose Planful Compared to previous reporting/budgeting systems I've used, Host Analytics offers a clear advantage as a cloud solution.

Niru Irukulla Senior Financial Analyst in Finance and Accounting at Guidewire Software (Computer Software, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Planful I wasn't involved in the evaluation process, current company already had Planful/Host before I joined and we re-implemented and enhanced functionality as that was more efficient time wise than moving to brand new tool.
