108 Planful Testimonials

“Once I did a product demo from [Planful], it was love at first sight. It was like Hyperion models were easy to create, and the reporting was highly dynamic and customizable. Host had everything I needed that was missing from Adaptive Planning.”

“Our single Excel file would crash a lot, there was no easy way to do reporting, and the cash flow forecast was always wrong, but we didn’t know why. So, I started looking for a modern platform for forecasting, reporting, and planning.”

“I was doing that in a massive Excel spreadsheet. It was all customized, and only I knew how it worked. I was the single point of failure.”

“With Host Analytics, I just build the report, do a little slice and dice, and there’s your information.”

“We’ve been very happy with Host Analytics and the CFO Solutions team, which led implementation, and I look forward to discovering new ways to improve our business — we signed a three-year agreement, so we’re betting on Host Analytics for long term.”

“We’re able to do more analytical work we didn’t have time for in the past because everything was so manual. Host Analytics is allowing us to be more future-looking, which we couldn’t do before.”

“We have very aggressive growth goals. We’re doubling revenues and profits year over year over year. Host Analytics is allowing us to grow, invest and perform at the level we need, which is why we renewed our contract again.”

“My team isn’t spending as much time gathering and pushing data as we used to. With Host Analytics, we have the ability to analyze and actually partner with our internal customers to help them make better, more profitable decisions.”

"Anytime a change would need to be made all of those templates would need to be updated and revised. Just to consolidate all of that information took forever, It was such a manual process that our annual budgets took four to five months at least."

"Since adopting [Planful], we’ve shortened our close process so much that we can spend a lot more time on analytics."

"Given our recent growth and changes the system’s flexibility has been key. From the currency options to the ability to easily add people or acquired businesses, [Planful] has delivered.”

"With [Planful] we are able to integrate the latest Sales data from our SAP system and develop a rolling sales forecast and demand planning model that keeps pace with changing market demand.”

"As a budget owner, I struggle with timeliness of information to make decisions. I can’t wait months or even weeks. Relying on the finance team often limits my ability to make an impact to the business in a timely fashion. With MyPlan I can quickly reallocate dollars and resources to drive maximum pipeline."

"We would not be able to put timely, concise, accurate, actionable information in front of our decision makers without an FP&A platform like Planful."

"Each of these six entities acting with an independent FP&A team, the firm faced challenges in consolidating their financial and operational data."
