"Martus: Streamlined, Secure Budgeting — Accurate Budgets with Granular Access"
5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

Martus gives our staff immediate access to their individual budgets, eliminating the need for me to send out 13 separate spreadsheets. The account settings make it simple to show each person only what they need to see while preventing access to restricted information. The budgeting tool was easy to learn and included useful features that helped produce more accurate budgets.

I was also blown away by our onboarding experience with Martus. They clearly laid out the whole process, gave us prep work and homework to help us best understand what we were learning, and gave us all the recordings of our trainings. Nika, our implementation specialist could answer every question we asked, and helped us learn how Martus could work best for us. Once you are done, they don't leave you out to dry. They are there with follow up trainings and an excellent service team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Martus?

The one thing we really wish Martus would offer is a full accounting module. We already have our complete chart of accounts set up; if Martus added the functionality to manage our finances directly, right there within Martus—so we wouldn't have to import from another program—that would be amazing.

"Best Sage Intacct Integrated Budget Planning Application"
5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

The program is intuitive to use. It's integration with Sage Intacct is an invaluable tool for all of our budget managers throughout the organization. Additionally, the Martus support team is a cut above the rest. The response times are almost immediate, and the assistance provided always presents a solution to the issues we face.

What do you dislike about Martus?

I really don't have a downside to Martus. We were able to connect all budget managers quickly and our support representative provides in-depth training to all users on an annual basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Budgeting that eliminates the manual worksheet!"
5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

User friendly, personnel budgeting, the special purpose worksheets, it enables other outside the finance dept to easily view financial results, entering budgets and seeing immediate impact on the bottom line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Martus?

It's difficult to go back on previous screens with the fiscal year reverting back to the default. Also, using the back feature is not has user friendly as I would like, I have to go back and select the paramenters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward, Integrated Budgeting with Best-in-Class Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Martus?

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.

"Elevated Our Budgeting With Drill-Down Actuals, Notes, and Helpful Worksheets"
5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

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.

What do you dislike about Martus?

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.

"Detailed, Easy-to-Use Personnel Budgeting with Helpful Onboarding"
4/5
What do you like best about Martus?

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.

What do you dislike about Martus?

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.

"Smooth Transition, Enhanced Budget Efficiency"
5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

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.

What do you dislike about Martus?

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.

"Affordable, Feature-Rich Budgeting for Multi-Campus Ministries"
5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Martus?

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.

"Seamless Data Migration and Sync—Backed by Responsive, Expert Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

The data migration was seamless, and one of the biggest advantages was the synchronization between our accounting software and Martus, which significantly simplified the implementation process.

Martus also provides an excellent library of tutorials and training resources. Their implementation and support teams have been responsive, knowledgeable, and truly committed to our success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Martus?

Updating the personnel model was tedious. Some departments have overlapping accounts, and Martus wasn’t able to support that structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Access Web App with a Straightforward Budgeting Workflow"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Martus?

This is a web-based application that’s easy for all users to access. For our needs, the budget preparation process feels straightforward, with a clean layout that makes it simple to follow from start to finish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Martus?

Financial data can only be uploaded into Martus. Sometimes we have new activities but no corresponding account, and those still need to be added to the budget. Martus doesn’t provide a way to add these items, which makes it difficult to keep the budget up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
