"Great Planning, Budgeting and Reporting Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Centage?

The financial reporting tool - Maestro Analytics and the Personnel module, the budgeting section, and the forecasting tool are my favorite parts of Centage.Implementation and Product support are also top notch. Centage has a wide variety of features. The integration with D365 Business Central is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centage?

The only downside I see with Centage is the delay in posted entries to when they are reflected in the financials. I do think this will be a feature enhancement in the future to where data can be updated multiple times a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Centage solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centage replaced our former report writer that had many technical issues. We are also able to pull in the budget directly from Centage and not have to load it into our ERP to include in financials.

Centage has replaced our excel budget reports which no matter how many reviews are done, spreadsheet errors are inherent in the process.

The budgeting process is simplified by including separate revenue, expense, and personnel budgets. The personnel budgets also take out the manual process of payroll and unemployment tax calculations. The budgeting process also allows for allocations and percentage based budgeting, thus eliminating more manual calculations in Excel.

In addition, developing a forecast was a painstaking manual process. Centage allows the forecast to be rolling and I am able to include this with ease in my financial reports and budget reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and powerful budgeting solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Centage?

We have a number of different revenue streams and Centage allows us to create custom calculations and setting as we need them. I also like the variety of reporting options using the Analytics Maestro add on to really get an understanding of our data in order to best plan for the future. The Customer Support team is very responsive and helpful in addressing any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centage?

Because the Analytics Maestro is used with Excel, there is a download process to move the data that you need. In order to get the most current actual data this is a two-step process which can take up to 30 minutes. Part of it could be set to run automatically but I prefer to do it as needed. Also, some of the screens have default views for certain elements and it would be better if those could be customized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Centage solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were using an out-of-date program that we were unable to make changes to. The Centage platform is very customizable for individual needs and provides a wide variety of reporting options. We've been able to view our data in ways that we weren't before and it is very helpful with identifying trends and anomalies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5

End users would like some functions similar to Excel functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and Time-Saving Budgeting and Forecasting Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Centage?

The tool is highly configurable, eliminates the error-prone manual Excel process for budgeting and forecasting, increases our accuracy, and is an enormous time saver. I cannot imagine managing the finances of our non-profit without it. The customer service team responds quickly to my requests, is knowledgeable, and is excellent to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centage?

While it's true that setting up the tool and learning to utilize its capabilities fully can take some time, the customer service team is always there to guide you. In my five years of using the product, I've always received the support I needed to meet every reporting deadline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the review. We continue to work on improving the ease of use and are releasing a ton of improvements in the user experience later in 2024 that should both make it easier and create a faster onboarding time. The ultimate goal is to reduce time to value so you are up and running faster and achieve that error free collaborative budgeting we bring.

Thank you for the review. Releasing later in 2024 is the ability to delete multiple lines and such. The Worksheets will look, feel, and act very Excel like while still minimizing the errors and improving collaboration!

"Great budgeting software"

5/5

What do you like best about Centage?

Planning Maestro is an excellent planning tool. It is easy to use, allows for long term budgeting and more frequent forecasting. Once the software is set up, it is relatively easy to maintain it. It has a lot of flexibility - budgeting with as much detail or as little as your organization requires. It integrates with several accounting packages so that actual information can be brought into PM with ease. Refreshable reports in Excel is a bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Centage?

mass updates are a bit more problematic as changes in information often result in duplicate records that have to be removed. There is no copy/paste function which existed in the prior version of the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
