Budget Maestro

We have been using the software for about 7 years and it has been extremely helpful for our reporting. We used spreadsheets before that and to make changes to any item was a nightmare and now it is much easier. It has cut our prep time in half.

great planning tool

We were on Budget Maestro for a few years. When Planning Maestro came out, we had the option then to move to something else but we stayed with Centage as PM is a solid budgeting and planning tool. It has good functionality and good support.

Pros:

Simple to use, not very complicated. Has all the features needed for small companies and their budget needs.

Cons:

Although simple to use, features are limited. They have a new web based version that should alleviate many of our limitations but we still have not had that rolled out. We were supposed to have the web based version last year but are still waiting for the roll out. They also are used to smaller companies and over the last few years we have grown dramatically so we have basically out grown the product.

Functionality

Pros:

We needed a budgeting package that would be (1) easy to learn and use for our end-users, (2) able to automatically integrate with 3rd party general ledgers and (3) provide a powerful set of customizable analytics and reporting tools. Planning Maestro has successfully met all three requirements, and allowed us to provide more accurate budgets/forecasts/reporting with faster turn around.

Cons:

A common issues I have with multiple software vendors: Enhancements and usability improvements can take a long time to roll out.

Reasons for choosing Centage

Met our key functional requirements and reasonable pricing

Planning Maestro is an effective Tool

Our implementation went very smoothly and our implementation specialist made sure to go above and beyond making sure I understood how to use every tool. Planning Maestro has allowed our directors to take ownership of their budgets and have the tools available to tailor them to their own needs.

Pros:

Planning Maestro has many effective tools that allows our department directors to effectively budget their own areas and pull everything together in one cohesive plan. For the most part, it's user friendly and support is always very responsive.

Cons:

Reporting functionality of Planning Maestro can sometimes be challenging, as well as knowing which filters to select within revenue and driver applications.

Planning Maestro provides critical budgeting analysis

Good training, sophisticated calculations, "what-if" projections. Personnel expense calculation can be made as precise as needed. Can create drivers for calculations, and updating the driver updates the related revenue/expense, rather than updating multiple different accounts or line items; i.e. the units are a fixed commodity, but the unit price changes.Unmatched support that helps with any questions or problems.

Some features are site-wide rather than attached to a particular budget cycle. Updating these features can inadvertently affect other calculations.

Solid business performance management software package.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Pros:

1. Very powerful forecasting tool that can handle both simple and complex aspects of forecasting. Handles multiple departments, entities, and the consolidation of them with ease. 2. Very easy to import actual data in order to perform variance analysis. 3. Easy to import almost all information necessary to set up a "plan" the first time. 4. What-if analysis allows you to look at the financial impact of making changes in your business without having to change your primary "plan" 5. All reports can be exported to Excel 6. Report layouts can be customized. 7. Very easy to create a 5 year forecast that allows increase/decrease assumptions to be customized in numerous ways, and using as many timeframes as desired. 8. Handles lines of credit and term loans, both fixed and variable rate, very easily.

Cons:

1. Can't run a statement of cash flows based on "actual" data, only on "plan" data. 2. Not very easy to run a "plan" balance sheet for a future year as a stand-alone report, must either start the report on a month just after you have "actual" data or create an "actual/plan" version that houses a combination of data so it can be used for beginning balances. 3. If using Desktop version, additional modules need to be purchased to handle pre-paid insurance automatically and forecast inventory.

Excellent experience. Software functions as promised - implementation team & support were great!

Ease of budgeting at a very detailed level. Provided us with a better understanding of what drives our business from a financial perspective and what the impact might be if we were to change any of those variables.

Functionality

Pros:

Ease of use and affordability. The ability to design your budget without having to pay someone to configure the software is priceless. We were also able to implement and complete our budget in less than 2 months. This software allows us to budget continuously using the same data while just updating it for any changes. We budget annually, and re-forecast quarterly. This tool allows us to spend more time analyzing the impacts of the various variables and much less time actually creating the budgets to review. Once it is set up to forecasts into the future and all you have to do is edit for any changes. You can also perform endless 'what if' scenarios to see how potential changes would impact your forecasts.

Cons:

Wow! I can't really think of any cons to this software. I am sure there are some limitations but for our company this fits the bill perfectly.

Sounds better than actual performance

We purchased the software to make our budgeting process more efficient, however there was no capability to easily project what-if scenarios, calculate impacts of inflation and generate useful reports. We purchased a three year subscription due to the competitive pricing however, when we decided this product was not meeting our needs the company refused to even consider a partial refund, despite the fact we were not able to use the product at all.

Pros:

There are no pros except maybe the price point for this product.

Cons:

The initial implementation process was rocky with several changes of support staff and the length of time from implementation to actual deployment took several months, with the deployment never being fully realized. The final product was bugged, with drivers not working properly and accounts set up incorrectly. Uploading date to the software was not seamless and required time to properly configure files; downloading data to Excel had similar difficulties.
