Loads of training is required.

Summary: We selected Budgyt over other options because it is exceptionally easy to use, perfectly meeting all our budget management needs. Its user-friendly interface, robust functionality, and cost efficiency enabled seamless multi-department integration. Budgyt delivered the performance and financial insights we required at a fraction of the cost, ensuring maximum value.

Positive: Budgyt shines in environments with numerous departments. If your organization has multiple distinct groups that need to contribute to a centralized budget, the software’s ability to invite various teams and provide cumulative oversight is a significant advantage.

Negative: Although Budgyt's functionality is excellent, storing too many scenarios in your profile can slow down the system as it continuously updates them. To maximize speed and efficiency, it’s important to regularly maintain and manage your scenarios.

Summary: I am thoroughly happy with Budgyt. We anticipate it is going to meet our needs for years to come and.

Positive: We liked the ability to compare multiple departments and years with little trouble. It also has multiple reporting features depending on what you need.

Negative: Importing information could be easier that it currently is.

Summary: Great. Budgyt has made management reporting, budgeting and forecasting so much easier and it takes so much less time than before.

Positive: Permissions granularity, allowing me to give the right access to the right people. The ability to summarize some GL categories so that only totals can be viewed by department heads.
Great employee / contractor cost functionality across multiple countries and currencies.

Negative: Some minor quirks in how to set things up, but always received great support.

Summary: During our implementation we had some key questions that were handled rapidly and clearly by the Budgyt implementation team, as well as a large and continually evolving online learning system. Selecting and implementing Budgyt has proven to be one of the best financial decisions our organization has ever made.

Positive: Budgyt has been a game changer for our organization. After one budget season went up in flames with a large Excel spreadsheet error, we needed something different. We reviewed the market for budgeting systems and fairly quickly selected Budgyt. Of key value to us was a seamless and quick interface with Quick Books Online, which Budgyt features. With our Budgyt implementation we can effectively ‘layer’ our budgeting process. In our case this allows for independent budgets based on geographical location that can then be consolidated for a full organization roll-up. Layers could also easily be product lines or large departments. The user interface for Budgyt is streamlined and easy to use, particularly for non-technically oriented employees. Timeframes and included roll-up layers can be easily selected or removed.

Negative: Limited suite of available financial system integrations.
Some learning curve for implementation team.
Does not easily handle fund accounting reporting.

Summary: The employee module and the formulas modules are excellent. The customer service is also exceptional.

Positive: The Budgyt platform has made my budgeting process so much easier. Being able to move away from using multiple, linked Excel spreadsheets has been great.

Negative: There is nothing about the Budgyt platform that I do not like.

Summary: Budgyt is our sole budgeting and forecast tool due to the significant level of detail it allows for. Budgyt offers the largest number of sub-tiers of any budget SAAS out there for small businesses, unlimited line-items under each lowest level account category, and line-item notes for expense/income justification. No more department-level spreadsheets because your budgeting software only supports 2 or 3 sub-tiers. You can easily fit every nit-picky detail into Budgyt.



Budgyt is a fantastic data cruncher and is highly customizable. However, with customization comes a steep learning curve. There are a large number of options, settings, and other items that take time to locate and learn. Budgyt is easy to use once you learn it, but that initial learning curve is steep!

Positive: Budgyt makes it possible to consolidate detailed line-item budget planning into one place.

Budgyt accomplishes this by offering the largest number of sub-tiers of any budget SAAS out there, unlimited line-items under each lowest level account category, and line-item notes for expense/income justification. No more department-level spreadsheets because your budgeting software only supports 2 or 3 sub-tiers. You can easily fit every nit-picky detail into Budgyt!

Negative: After years of using Budgyt, I still struggle with using the built-in equation builders. They are highly customizable, which is great, but they don't always seem to follow traditional math logic. I've resorted to running the few calculations I need to do externally and linking a spreadsheet to a Budgyt line item, which works fine for me and is a small price to pay for the level of detailed planning Budgyt facilitates.

Summary: I will recommend Budgyt to any organization especially if they are still small. it easy use and track financial reports and statements.

Positive: The software is easy to use and learn.
great at tracking variance report
Good at pulling financial statements
Very good for organization that tract FTE
Great support from James

Negative: I wish there was more videos on how to track indirect cost and formulas.

Summary: Excellent experience wont go back to Excel.

Would be nice if you could embed excel in the database.

Positive: Once you understand the scenarios and reporting tools it works really well for high and granular analysis.

Negative: Speed - it would be nice if it updated faster.

Summary: We've now been using this over 5 years. Budgyt is always improving, always getting faster and better with more features. We liked the capabilities in the beginning and we have always been expertly supported when we have questions.

Positive: Employee and Payroll module in Budgyt has all the capabilities to plan accurately for payroll and employer expenses in multiple states and with a wide variety of employee benefits formula capabilities.

Customer support is super capable and fast - if you ever need anything beyond their excellent training video library, which almost always covers my questions.

Negative: Sometimes keeping up with the way the platform is improved can be a challenge - but the benefit of the improvements outweigh any time spent getting used to the changes over time.
