Pros

"This tool is mainly used for forecasting, and it will, for sure, help all the organizations that need data/reports on expenses and headcount forecasting."
"Well certainly this product has helped many finance users in the organization as this product enables them to see the numbers for any cost center and business unit and also get a consolidated view of group level numbers."

"Easy to use Rich functionality Complete corporate performance management solution Based on modern technology Cloud-ready All of them allow me to manage my business."
"I would say US$80K/year as it has automated the process and saved us from hiring a new analyst."
"The ability to budget on individual levels, i.e. by person for payroll, by vehicle for transportation, etc."
"The time saved by building variables to drive accounts inside the budgeting system, along with balancing accounts to spread increases or decreases based on different accounts or versions, more than makes up for the pricing of the software."
"Words can’t express how much our company benefited from using this product."
"Easy to use Rich functionality Complete corporate performance management solution Based on modern technology Cloud-ready All of them allow me to manage my business."
 

Cons

"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."
"The original cost is set to use enterprise wide but the users growth is too slow to justify the cost. That's one of the reasons we stopped using this tool."
"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"The initial set up was complex and painful, both with respect to database setup and the execution script."
"The user interface could be improved as it is not an intuitive product for every type of user."
"At times, Prophix would crash if too many files were open."
"BI analytics Few related Ad Hoc Analyses in one window Sorting and filtering in Data View"
"The Microsoft multidimensional cubes does have several disadvantages in write back solutions which results in poor performance."
"Discovery was not in depth enough for our deployment to be successful – we had a lot of problems and had to take short-cuts due to a lack of planning."
"The process speed and integration with sources of transaction detail needs work."
"BI analytics Few related Ad Hoc Analyses in one window Sorting and filtering in Data View"
"There were problems in a certain version with the speed, but they have fixed this in later versions."
