Martus Reviews & Product Details

I find Martus intuitive and easy to use. It allows for the generation of different visuals and reports, which is a feature I really appreciate. I also love that it enables nonfinancial people to generate reports without needing a deep understanding of the actual financials. The setup lets them select features they're interested in and generate the information they are monitoring without relying too much on financial staff. The options for generating reports by activity, strategy, and location are very practical, helping us differentiate between different types of reports and activities for different teams. We value the accessibility for filtering, which helps compare our budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the way some reports are produced and saved in Martus can be confusing. We end up with a number of reports with similar names, making it hard to differentiate them, and that could be improved. It's also easy to generate reports, and sometimes you keep adding new creative reports into the report builder section, which can make it hard to clean them or go through them because we don't have information about the specifics of those reports. It would be helpful to have that information. Additionally, the initial setup was not very straightforward; we needed a couple of rounds of workshops and training to become familiar with the product. Maybe introducing a more agile way to bring teams on board could be an improvement for the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Martus to be very intuitive, and once it's set up, it's extremely easy to use. It efficiently puts complex information from an accounting system, like Intacct, into the hands of users, allowing them to access the specific data they need. This includes insights into expenses, like actual receipts, spending details, and remaining budget. One feature I appreciate is the good level of security it provides, ensuring that employees only have access to certain budget areas, which works out really well. The initial setup is fairly simple, as the hard work is already done in setting up the accounting system behind it, and transferring data seems intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the planning side a bit confusing if I haven't worked with it enough or had sufficient training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best in Martus is the Support /Onboarding. Oni is always willing to meet with us and figure out an idea that we have. Performance -wise i will say that it updates pretty quickly so we have no issues on waiting for information to be uploaded. I appreciate the balance sheet and cash forecast integrations because i can also use them along with my forecasted budget. The AI is most useful to me when creating reports that way I don't need to build something completely from scratch. Pricing is better than our old system so that's a plus.

Something I dislike about Martus is the dimension levels and how they are displayed. For our organization specifically grouped dimensions would be most helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I'm able to do forecasting in Martus, work with department and division heads to reforecast their end of year spend, and that they can access their spending information at any time without needing me to run reports for them. I also appreciate that Martus allows the department and division heads to be more active participants in the forecasting process, giving them a sense of ownership and more buy-in to the overall budget of the school. Additionally, the onboarding process was pretty easy, with a very in-depth approach and lots of informative meetings with a rep, which I got a lot out of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that I'm still learning to work well within Martus is some of the personnel features. We do not always do a flat increase or a percentage increase as we have employees who are subject to a collective bargaining agreement and therefore receive salary increases via steps. If we were able to embed a multiyear step schedule that we could then tie to each individual and indicate which step the individual is in when we do our budgeting, and have it auto pull from the table, that would be cool.

Martus is straightforward, accessible, and relatively easy to learn. I really appreciate the way it combines and compiles data across multiple types of accounting dimensions. Martus integrates easily with our accounting software. The price is very fair and reasonable. The support and relationship management are without question, best in class.

There are a few features that stop short of their potential. What I appreciate, despite certain challenges, is that Martus really listens to customer experience. Sadly, this is an uncommon feature despite what many software companies claim. At Martus, they say they listen and they really do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that you can see the actuals for current and prior years and drill down to the details as you are budgeting for a new year. I love that you can attach backup and make notes. I have gone back to the notes several times this year to see what I was budgeting for. The special purpose worksheets are so helpful to build out lines with several charges like subscriptions. I am not really sure. Based on accounting software we have looked at, it seems to be fairly priced. I really want my team to use it more for reporting. The more we use it, the more it is worth it.

I am not really sure I have a dislike yet. It has elevated our budgeting process so much. I wish it connected directly with ShelbyNext but the work around is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When completing our budget, I really appreciate how detailed the personnel budgeting module is. It allows us to budget for personnel and any benefit-related items in a thorough, detailed way. The module is easy to use, and we haven’t heard from staff that they’ve had any issues using Martus. Our onboarding specialist was great and has been very helpful in getting everything set up. We are currently not using the integration but will be in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was a fairly steep learning curve when getting Martus set up. It took my team and me some time to get used to how to enter budget information. Once we got the hang of it, though, it became pretty intuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The personnel budgeting feature in Martus has significantly streamlined our budgeting process by eliminating our reliance on Excel. Prior to adopting Martus, I was responsible for building and continuously updating a personnel budget model each time the organization onboarded new staff or adjusted our FTE count, a process that was both time-consuming and prone to error. Martus has greatly improved both our efficiency and accuracy in this area. The implementation experience was equally impressive. The initial setup was seamless, and the training provided by Andrea M. and her team was thorough, patient, and well structured. Their use of video recordings as reference materials was particularly helpful. Thanks to their support, we were able to migrate our data smoothly and have the budget ready for BOD approval withing just two months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area with room for improvement is the Report Builder. While the availability of pre-built templates does make the process more approachable, eliminating the need to build reports entirely from scratch, additional training on this feature would be beneficial. More in-depth guidance would help enhance the overall user experience and allow users to take fuller advantage of its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Martus has eliminated so much of the spreadsheet work that most of us have been doing for years. I’m still shocked by how much effort it has removed, and at the same time the data feels far more flexible and easier to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly haven’t found a downside so far. There are still plenty of features I want to dig into, but they all seem very promising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Martus is a great tool for budgeting. We are a church and I like how it is affordable and still has all of the functionality that we need. We are able to break out multiple ministry areas across 3 campuses and have a budget for each one. The support team has also been amazing in getting it set up and is very responsive.

The only complaint I have is when trying to run another area's budget, and if you go back to the main screen it clears out all prior filters. So if you were looking at the next fiscal year it kicks you back to the current one. If you don't catch it you could be looking at wrong data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
