Looking for an FP&A tool?
Hi All, a slightly different post from me. I’ve just been speaking at Planful Perform and I was really impressed with the tool and team.
If you are looking for a new FP&A tool that has a strong roadmap and a nice marketing/project planning element to it, let me know and I will intro you!
It’s important to me you know I am not getting commission or kick backs for this, I just like what they are doing.
Let me know by liking this, commenting or connecting with me so I can message you. ????????
Ps they have a tech 100 profile here – https://generationcfo.com/tech-100/product/planful

Thanks for highlighting @chris-a
How would you say it compares to Pigment’s FP&A tool for a scale up business (up to £50M t/o)?

I’ve heard good things about Pigment. I remember Planful in their previous guise as Host Analytics – they were ok back then. A couple of other products aimed at that segment…
– Vena – excel interface, AWS back end
– Datarails

I’m not recommending Planful, Pigment or Vena, it wouldn’t be wise of me to do that without some selection criteria.
I have heard good things about Pigment, and Planful, less so about Vena.
Happy to introduce you to an analyst or a community member who use those products, if you are interested.
They can give you the ‘coal face’ view, which is the aim of badging our Tech 100 with ‘community supported’ badges. So you can user/ members (not me!).

@bryan do you use Planful?

I don’t sorry. We use an FP&A tool that was developed inhouse at L’Oreal

Love this @chris-a – I would like to see it.

@JMuscat how about you? Have you played with Pigment?

No I haven’t –
We implemented Planful in September 2021. In the year leading up to this we hadn’t picked up Pigment in our evaluation process – I don’t believe they were very present in the UK market back then. We did look at Prophix, Vena and Tagetik in the run up.
I have met their team at various conferences and seen demos of the product and I can’t see much of a difference to Planful on the outside but I did feel find their sales lead a bit too aggressive on the sell.
We hit the ground running with Planful and it keeps giving year on year as we explore more of the functionality & use cases. The product, team, support and community have been second to none.
Always happy to share my learnings re Planful as appreciate it’s not a straightforward process to pick a tool!
