I liked the ease of use & the customisations that we were able to do, to improve the reporting within our business. The excel uploads were amongst the best I have used.

Not very easy to use for the first few times. The format can be confusing, for example if you need to set up multiple expense claims in a month.

Good value for a basic reporting tool with integrated AP and expenses which would be perfect for a relatively stable group structure.

The easy ability to download information onto excel. The ability to open up a second screen.

Can be slow to respond, no option to copy a previous expense.

I like the ability to add receipts to expenses and the fact that my request goes straight to the necessary authoriser.

Took a little while to get used to navigation as it is different to what I was used to, other than that, no concerns.

The reporting functionality of Aqilla is brilliant , shaperlight provide a quick real time data ,which can be populated on excel  for finance & non-finance users.

Overall the relationship is better than what I found when I joined the company - the support desk and consultants are very helpful and try their best to answer our queries.

The top tab names, I find I regularly go into the wrong  location for items.

The software is easy to use anywhere and at anytime. I like the option that you can upload documents , it makes  preparing for audit easier.

I find it slightly confusing how to limit or add permission for users on various areas of the software.

Integration with Sharperlight making data import/export a breeze. Continuous product enhancements keeping it current and improving the finance process.

What i like about this system is that you can save all pdf copies of invoices to this system, which is great to go paperless.

Centage provides strong customer service and the product has been terrific value for our organization.

User friendly interface and reports. Good drill down to get to source documents.

Difficult to set up for the first time. Very limited when you have to export to Excel because all data is exported as text format.

I love the analytics maestro, and this software is a good fit for SMEs.

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.

Budget Maestro was recommended to us by Syspro. It works well and enhances our ERP system and provides greater reporting capability.

Not sure as we have not researched lately other options.

My only complaint is the amount of formatting I have to do when exporting a report to a spreadsheet.

Our budget is now more secure and robust, and due to the product's user friendliness it was fairly easy and quick to set up.

The product provided a very friendly user interface that was easy to navigate - even for people who did not receive formal training. The reports were clean and easy to follow.

I do like the preview of the expense and how it will look like on the P&L. It really helps me make sure that my spread method is correct.

I love the way this product is so easy to use and track all of my spending. I don't know what I would do without it.

Ease of use is super important. Reporting is good and I love the dump into Excel for more slicing and to import.

We greatly appreciate the flexibility Budget Maestro offers our nimble team to make changes on the fly and seamlessly integrate with our ERP system to ensure financial data is accurate and up to date.

Too business support management even when someone lacks with a bit in attention to detail allowing for easy corrections and edits.

We have been using the software for about 7 years  and it has been extremely helpful for our reporting.

Their support team is always available to help you through any questions or difficulties you encounter.

I like the ease of use and the ability to eliminate my dependence on Excel.

Overall it has been widely accepted within our organization and has helped improve the efficiency and accuracy of our budget process at DEA.

Participate in any demos the software company provides of its software then get them to show you how their software would handle your situation, your unique or most difficult budgeting issue.

It takes anywhere from 1-3 minutes to run any report. Also, the inability to create a version and it to show up in all plans.

Also impressive is their what-if scenarios, the robust capabilities of their driver functionality, and Analytics Maestro (their Excel plug-in for user friendly desktop reporting).

I would recommend budget maestro to other organizations as a useful budgeting tool.

Good integration with many ERP and account systems. Accessible anywhere through an internet connection with any browser-based device.
