"IDU is a great tool for both Financial Budgeting and Financial Reporting."
4/5
What do you like best about IDU?

IDU is very easy to understand and user-friendly especially for non-finance people. Ever since I started using IDU in 2014 Budget iterations and version controls are more efficient as compared to Excel spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDU?

It would be great if one can be able to select multi Cost Centres or different Cost Centre codes at the same time, perhaps an analytics functionality can solve this problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"More than just a budget tool!"
5/5

IDU is not only a great and easy to use budgeting application, but helps drive day to day ownership of business unit or departmental budgets, cost management, revenue growth and variance reporting by the business unit or department leaders. The team behind IDU, and lead by Kevin Philips, have lived and breathed preparing budgets and have an infinite understanding of what the user requires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDU?

What do you like best about IDU?

Simple, efficient and short implementation required, on-site with client involved every step of the way. This also served as "training" and knowledge transfer on how the system operates and how it should be maintained. We find their helpdesk to be one of their biggest strengths, with efficient client specific assistance almost immediate. The possibility of multiple, different, structures, both for reporting and budget presentation is something to first grasp, but it is very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IDU?

Not much to dislike, some newly added functionality that does not form part of the standard package could be a costly add-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
