Great product for mid-sized organizations

Budgyt is great for instant consolidation of a multi-department and multi-entity organization. It has strong hierarchy and roll-ups at various levels. Excellent capability in salary and benefit calculation, for instance down to each type of state and federal tax, and each type of employee health benefit.

★★★★★

Very pleased with Budgyt

Very competitive pricing for a full-featured FP&A package. Excellent support for installation and ability to influence future feature set. Great user security, number of users and number of departments supported. Considered Datarails, Cube, and Workday Adaptive Planning. Budgyt has a similar feature-set but was more economical.

★★★★★

Budgyt is awesome

I found a small programming issue on a report that I brought to James (Founder and CEO) attention, and received a same day response, with a follow up that the issue would be resolved within 3 business days. Now that's service.

A powerful budgeting tool

Budgyt is a powerful tool that can help your organization with financial management. The implementation team is knowledgeable and helps you get off the ground. The employee module and related HR formulas are great tools to help budget and forecast personnel costs. Budgyt does not break like an Excel workbook can break.

★★★★★

Easy to implement and a great time saver

More than 95% of our costs are payroll and contractor related and we are a global company with employees and contractors in approx 30 countries. Budgeting against those costs in Excel spreadsheets was a nightmare. Budgyt has made this so much easier and saved us a huge amount of time.

Budgyt platform is great

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

Build a new budget scenario in 3 minutes

I use QuickBooks desktop and have a budget of around $5M per year. QuickBooks budget module is very limited. By using Budgyt, I am able to slice and dice revenue and expenses and compare multiple years of actual expenses against budgeted values. I can build a new budget scenario in about 3 minutes and make adjustments to reforecast.

Best budgeting tool

We use Budgyt for budgeting and forecasting and it helps us solve the problems we used to face while using Excel, as we have multiple companies and multiple departments involved in our annual budget.

Making life easy without Excel

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.

Answers to my prayers

I spent years doing our budget in Excel and printing out pages for managers to manually make changes. It took 6 to 8 weeks to come up with our budget and the payroll side was never accurate. Budgyt solved all of that. No doubt one of the best experiences with a software and a software vendor I have ever had.

★★★★★

Very intuitive

Very easy to use, very intuitive. I like how easy it is to copy budgets and look at different scenarios or time periods.

Cloud budget consolidation

This product automatically consolidates budget holders' submissions, replacing error prone, labour intensive spreadsheet work.

The instant scenario consolidation dramatically improved the quality of budget discussions.

What reviewers consistently say

Five themes across 40+ reviews

Honest synthesis from the reviews above, with the verbatim phrases reviewers actually used.

1. Replaces Excel, and the relief is the headline

The most common story arc in the reviews: years of cobbled-together spreadsheets, a switch to Budgyt, and visible relief in the writing. 9 of 22 Capterra reviewers explicitly named Excel as what they switched from.

"As great as Excel is, there is no comparison." Jen S., Capterra

2. Non-finance users can actually use it

Easily the most repeated benefit: department heads who aren’t finance professionals can navigate Budgyt without hand-holding. This shows up in nearly every nonprofit review as a serious operational win.

"Non-finance savvy department managers find it a vast improvement over our previous Excel-based process." Larry Silver, Direct

3. Time savings are measured in weeks, not hours

Reviewers don’t just say “it saved time”. They quote specific numbers: 6 to 8 weeks of annual budget compression, 40 hours of updates down to under 5 minutes, instant consolidation versus manual rollup.

"It took 6-8 weeks to come up with our budget. Budgyt solved all of that." Jennifer S., Capterra

4. Customer support gets called out, repeatedly

Across G2, Capterra and direct testimonials, the Budgyt support team is named specifically. Not “the support is good”, but “James helped us with configuration”, “they mapped everything out for us”, “best example of what a software vendor should be”.

"No doubt one of the best experiences with a software and a software vendor I have ever had." Jennifer S., Capterra
