We used spreadsheets before that and to make changes to any item was a nightmare and now it is much easier. It has cut our prep time in half. ----- ### "great planning tool" — 5.0/5 > **April** | *14 March 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of use is super important. reporting is good and I love the dump into Excel for more slicing and to import. > > **Cons**: copy paste was removed from previous version - bring it back\! > > We were on Budget Maestro for a few years. When Planning Maestro came out, we had the option then to move to something else but we stayed with Centage as PM is a solid budgeting and planning tool. It has good functionality and good support. ----- ### "Good for small companies and simple budgeting" — 3.0/5 > **Michael** | *6 July 2018* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple to use, not very complicated. Has all the features needed for small companies and their budget needs. > > **Cons**: Although simple to use, features are limited. They have a new web based version that should alleviate many of our limitations but we still have not had that rolled out. We were supposed to have the web based version last year but are still waiting for the roll out. They also are used to smaller companies and over the last few years we have grown dramatically so we have basically out grown the product. ----- ### "Planning Maestro's analytics capabilities are a key differentiator" — 4.0/5 > **James** | *13 March 2022* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We needed a budgeting package that would be (1) easy to learn and use for our end-users, (2) able to automatically integrate with 3rd party general ledgers and (3) provide a powerful set of customizable analytics and reporting tools. Planning Maestro has successfully met all three requirements, and allowed us to provide more accurate budgets/forecasts/reporting with faster turn around. > > **Cons**: A common issues I have with multiple software vendors: Enhancements and usability improvements can take a long time to roll out. ----- ### "Planning Maestro is an effective Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Lesley** | *8 March 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Planning Maestro has many effective tools that allows our department directors to effectively budget their own areas and pull everything together in one cohesive plan. For the most part, it's user friendly and support is always very responsive. > > **Cons**: Reporting functionality of Planning Maestro can sometimes be challenging, as well as knowing which filters to select within revenue and driver applications. > > Our implementation went very smoothly and our implementation specialist made sure to go above and beyond making sure I understood how to use every tool. Planning Maestro has allowed our directors to take ownership of their budgets and have the tools available to tailor them to their own needs. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/1775/budget-maestro?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/1775/budget-maestro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
