Martus Reviews & Product Details

The ease of use, and all the different tools that are imbedded into Martus to help with budget planning in all of it's facets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that when I wanted to open a worksheet in the Planner section, it doesn't automatically open it in a new tab. Because then I have to go back to the planner page to get to the worksheets and have to re-do my filters to get back to where I was at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Martus has been an essential tool for us to be able to view our expenses clearly and create our budget each year. It is easy to use, customer support is fast and great. We use the tool everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few enhancements I would still like to see, but they are constantly improving the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Martus is simple to use for both people in finance and more importantly for people not in finance. Our staff finds it intuitive and informative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything we dislike about Martus at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been great for our staff to track their budgets easily. The system is powerful yet easy to use, and the integrations with Sage Intacct help take us to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve for the personnel budgeting can be overwhelming, but it is fantastic once you understand it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Martus has revolutionized the way our multi-site organization collaborates and puts dollars behind our vision. With access to real-time data, our team can see trailing 12 month actuals and/or budgets as well as a hybrid approach. This tool empowered our teams to be more involved in planning, casting vision for their departments under the umbrella vision of the organization. Even our very teams that are not financially-oriented have raved about the ease of use, as well as increased transparency and involvement/buy-in to our budgets. The use of Special Purpose worksheets and the Personnel module have been great additions to our process as well. The integration with Sage Intacct is seamless. Implementation is a snap, and to top it off, they have the best customer service around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to say we "dislike" anything because our entire staff LOVES MARTUS. If I have to say something, it would bet hat it can be a little slow at times, but this is not a significant issue. It doesn't allow user permissions to be different by location (if a user has access to a department, the user has access to that department for every location they are given location permissions) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use for accounting staff to setup budgets and assign them to departments. Support is always helpful and friendly. And the integration with Sage is also very easy once it is setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could be a better user experience for non-accountants. Departments cannot share budgets amongst themselves (ie 2 people in the education department cannot both be assigned the same budget). And the financial/dashboard options are overwhelming and confusing. Overall non-finance staff has the same view that finance staff has, which probably isn't the best approach.

We converted from Excel to Martus in 2022. We budget for 45 departments and consolidate them. Martus has made our budgeting much more straightforward, easy to use and understand, easier to make changes and reforecast. This has increased access to and use of budget and income statement reports by department managers. It makes financial information more accessable and understandable for key managers.

The interactions between the interactions between personnel budgeting and the rest of the Martus application has been difficult.

There are no downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you, Martus! We had previously used Google Sheets for budget entry by all 7 campuses and their departments. While this worked fine in years past, the workload on my end was very time consuming to update each campus's department sheets every year for managers/supervisors. This would include manualing adding new and updated sheets, adding annualized actuals for each account in each campus department, double checking, adding into my preliminary budget Excel file and then after any revisions, I would finally add each campus department account into the final budget template for upload into Sage Intacct, our accounting system.

With the implementation of Martus in Fall 2023, I was given a roadmap of information and support articles on what to expect for each training. The training was very thorough, easy and helpful. For the beginning of Martus budgeting, I added all of the information myself into the Budget Planner for my final budget task. Once I was done entering and double checking everything, with the click of a button, I directly exported my final budget into Sage Intacct. With just this specific final budget export task, I saved over 57% of my time by using Martus (22 hours instead of 52 hours from year before, from start to finish). This cost effective tool will roll out to our respective managers and supervisors this spring. As an admin, you can add user permissions to each manager and supervisor to they can only see a particular campus or department that they oversee.

Martus will not only allow managers to monitor and dive deeper with their monthly reporting but also plan their budgets, that are approved by supervisors. This will allow for a smoother, more efficient and reliable budget process that also enhances internal controls as our organization scales and grows. The system is very user-friendly and has easy to understand Help articles and videos in the Help center. Customer support has been helpful. With any new system comes a certain amount of learning, but with Martus, the ease of integration overall has been quite simple. I use Martus every day and once the the final rollout to managers and supervisors has been executed, I am confidant that they will find it easy to use, as well. I have been very pleased with Martus!

There isn't anything I dislike at this time. Since I have just started out, I would recommend a bit more study on the Personnel Budgeting so that you budget exactly how you want to see everything in your budget since this area is a bit more detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software has made month-end reporting a breeze. I have implemented Martus twice, once with Sage Intacct and another time with QBO. The implementation of Martus was easy and the entire Martus team was fantastic to work with. They offer trainings to keep you current on best practices and meaningful updates. The integration with software to import actuals is seamless, making month-end reporting a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a thoughtful solution. It may not be as robust as Workday Adaptive Planning, but not everyone has the capacity or need for such a program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their customer support team is top notch! They are experts, friendly, and timely in their response to support tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything. It has a lot of features, so maybe time to learn it all. But you get training with implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
