That said, I am a CPA. Excellent tools for budgeting and forecasting. Very user friendly > > **Cons**: We had some problems importing and exporting to excel. It took a while to set this system up and train staff to use it. ----- ### "Budget Maestro is a solid tool, and I'm looking forward to enhanced features and functionality in 9." — 3.0/5 > **Kathlee** | *21 May 2018* > > **Pros**: I do like the preview of the expense and how it will look like on the P\&L. It really helps me make sure that my spread method is correct. I like analytics maestro. I can use excel to build reports. Also, it is easy to use the data to create charts and graphs and make the financial data consumable to those budget owners, who may not have a fiance background. I also like the ability to refresh and update the data quickly. > > **Cons**: Reporting. In analytics the idea of building is great, reminds me a salesforce. But it is sooooo slow on the virtual desktop. From what I understand this will continue to be the case in BM9. Also the reporting within the software is slow as well. It takes anywhere from 1-3 minutes to run any report. Also, the inability to create a version and it to show up in all plans. For example, if we want to create version of our 3+9 Forecast ----- ### "Planning Maestro" — 5.0/5 > **BJ** | *11 June 2021* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Planning Maestro brought a platform that allowed us to integrate into our existing accounting platform and create a structured environment we could use to refine our budgeting and forecasting process. > > **Cons**: I don't have anything negative to say. When I have run into issues with the software I have always reached out to Centage and we have found ways to incorporate what I need into the software. > > Centage has been great to work with, from implementation to today, they have been a true partner on our budgeting and forecasting journey. I've always been happy to recommend them and their software. ----- ### "Excellent, Intuitive program" — 5.0/5 > **Shelly** | *07 April 2022* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part of this software are the drivers we use to manage our sales budget. We have several LLCs that are within this program. The ability to expand the way we create our budgets has given us greater insight into where we can save money. The elimination of finding "human error" input in an excel budget has alleviated so much time. > > **Cons**: I have yet to find anything I don't like about this product. > > The implementation of the product was smooth. The reporting capabilities of the program have exceeded my expectations. In addition, every person I've been in contact with at Centage has expert level knowledge of the program and any issues have been resolved immediately. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/830/budget-maestro?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/830/budget-maestro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
