"Next-Gen EPM Solution"
What do you like best about Pigment?

Pigment is one of the most flexible, modern-looking, and scalable EPM platforms on the market. Once implemented, its capabilities are limited only by your imagination. From territory and sales capacity planning to workforce modeling to demand forecasting, Pigment has enabled us to consolidate our planning and reporting needs across the organization into a single, powerful solution.

Collaboration & Efficiency Gains

Our budgeting cycle used to take 4 months. With Pigment, we've reduced it to 2.5 months, even with complex, zero-based budgeting. The platform enables seamless collaboration among business leaders: users log in, update their working scenario, add comments, and trigger approval workflows. As a result, rolling forecasts update in real-time, meaning we're no longer lagging months behind the business as we were with spreadsheets and legacy systems (no more server certificate issues).

Integrations & Real-Time Insights

Pigment's integration philosophy and API-first architecture allowed us to connect core systems for real-time analytics. This "single source of truth" approach eliminated manual data handling, saving us an entire week of reporting every month.

Dimensional Flexibility & Custom Views

Pigment supports an essentially unlimited number of dimensions and custom views, making post-M&A integration seamless and efficient. Each business team (Finance, IT, HR, Sales) can view the data through their lens without creating disparate models.

Support & Product Evolution

Support is outstanding. Responses are fast (often feels 24/7), and issues are resolved promptly. The Pigment community is growing and active, and the resource library continues to improve. What truly stands out is their pace of innovation, regularly rolling out meaningful improvements that are both visionary and grounded in customer feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pigment?

Implementation Complexity

The initial setup can be complex, depending on your use case. I recommend using a certified implementation partner to get started efficiently.

Learning Resources

While community support and documentation are helpful, customers supporting Pigment in-house could benefit from broader access to Pigment’s advanced training materials, courses, and certifications, which are currently available to implementation partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and flexible business planning, analysis, and collaboration tool for better decision-making"
What do you like best about Pigment?

I love a ton of things about this product, and these are just a few:

Flexibility - whatever your organization's data can support can be built, and it's easy to rip and replace pieces of your models as your business or needs change

Multidimensionality - calculations performed on multiple dimensions at once

Scenarios - easy to create and compare

Real-time reporting, modeling, and planning - with scheduled imports, your workspace is always up-to-date

The direction of the product - Pigment is leaning in to agentic AI to not just analyze data and complete routine tasks, but they are currently working on agents that will actually assist in modeling and planning

The team - every interaction with our CSM, Solutions Architect, Implementation Consultants, Support, etc. has been stellar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pigment?

There are very few things I dislike about Pigment, but in its current state (June 2025), I do have some suggestions:

More formatting options to make dashboards and visuals "prettier" (they are actively working on some things here and have released some improvements recently, but continuing to improve this will only make me more of a fan!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool on the market"
What do you like best about Pigment?

Most FP&A tools on the market are either "Very flexible" or "Very user friendly and easy to use", Pigment is the only tool that ticks off both these boxes. Extremely powerful, but yet very quick to get started with and it let's you create great looking boards that the end users love! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pigment?

I wouldn't say there are any major downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pigment?

No possibility to edit chart fonts for better readability. Predictive forecasting models still under development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
