MartusTools Reviews

Pros

User friendly for most non-financial users. You can narrow your search by locations, departments, activities, funds and for Non-Profits is a very useful tool for anyone in the organization. The owner, Bill Cox is a very helpful person and is always looking for ways to improve the software. For non-financial users, the dashboards are very helpful.

Cons

There is no really anything that I don't like about this software. I will be using it to roll out our 2019 budget and we expect it will be a win for all users. I understand that no software is perfect. No matter what it is, there is going to be at least one tool that isn't up to par or a missing functionality. But I think that Martus Tools have been making improvements to the software.

Pros

MartusTools is an excellent data-collection and reporting tool. It allows users to easily and securely collect, store and analyze their data, while also providing powerful visualizations and insights. The software is reliable and user friendly, making it a great choice for data-driven projects.

Cons

MartusTools does not have the same level of customization that some of its competitors offer. Additionally, it does not have the same level of integration with other data-collection tools, making it difficult to utilize data from multiple sources.

Pros

This software program is designed to make it easier for those with no financial background to find Non-Profits. Users can filter their search by region, sector, function, and fund. Bill Cox, the creator, is devoted to offering the best possible service and is constantly searching for ways to better the customer experience. Dashboards will be extremely useful for those without a financial background.

Cons

I am quite pleased with Martus Tools program. I am convinced that it will be an excellent choice for the 2023 budget launch because I have not encountered anything that I dislike. Despite the fact that no program is flawless, I believe Martus Tools is continually attempting to improve.

Pros

Cons

One disadvantage of MartusTools is that it can be expensive to use if you need to store a lot of data.

The software is easy to set up, configure, and use, making it an ideal choice for those who want to securely manage large amounts of data.

Cons

Pros

MartusTools is an accounting and finance tool that provides you with a number of features to keep your information safe. It has a built-in encryption tool that protects your data, and it is easy to use. It is made for small and medium businesses (nonprofits, churches, for profits, VARs) that need reliable accounting software that is powerful and easy to use. This is one of the best software products I have ever purchased.

Cons

You can add step-by-step helpful documents or video tutorials that would be extremely beneficial for new users who want to learn more about your product.

This software application offers an amazing user interface that has been designed to maximize usability and accessibility for administrators and end users alike. Its interface was created with a strong emphasis on user experience in mind, ensuring that all parties may use its features and functionalities conveniently and efficiently. Whether you are an administrator or an end-user, you can be confident in the platform's ability to provide an exceptional user experience.

Cons

None. We are really delighted with the services given by MartusTools and have not found any negative features or downsides.

Pros

I used to dread dealing with accounting data, but now I can manage it effectively and efficiently through their integration with popular accounting systems. The user interface is really intuitive, and I love the fact that it can be customized to fit my needs.

Cons

The software has limited customization options, which may not be suitable for teams with complex project requirements

Pros

I like that MartusTools software is easy to use and can help you manage your finances in a simple and organized way. It also allows you to track all of your transactions, set up budget plans and goals, and helps you identify ways to save money. The software also provides helpful insights and advice from financial experts and has a helpful customer support team.

Cons

Once a budget is set, it can be difficult to adjust it in response to changing circumstances. This can lead to organizations overspending or underspending in certain areas.

Pros

MartusTools is a great software for budgeting. It is designed to help you stay on top of your finances and simplify the process of budgeting. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for tracking your income and expenses, setting and managing budgets, analyzing spending trends, and more. It also allows you to sync your data with other applications, so you can easily view and manage your finances from anywhere. The user friendly interface makes it easy to use, and the customization features allow you to personalize the experience to fit your specific needs.

Cons

I'm not very happy about the price, other than that there is nothing I don't really like.

Pros

Using MartusPlanner was straightforward for our leaders to learn and we completed our budget without any problems. Here are a few highlights of how Martus Planner has enhanced our budget process:

- This system allows our ministry leaders to input, update, review, and reference their budgets on demand from anywhere they can get internet access. Gone are the days of multiple spreadsheets with multiple formats and versions.

- Equip your ministry leaders with the ability to track and manage their budgets. One of our newly hired senior leaders told me I worked for a church with over 5,000 attendees across 6 sites and this program would have been a game changer for the way that church operated.

- Keep track of all budget versions throughout the budget cycle. Remember that awesome idea that was cut from the Dream budget. Now you can go back to that dream budget and bring that idea to life.

Cons

Based on feedback I have received from the ministry teams at my Church, the user interface could be simplified to help them navigate the program.

Pros

MartusTools is an incredibly comprehensive security and privacy solution that makes sure all of my sensitive data is kept safe and secure. It offers a wide range of features that make it easy to use, and I never have to worry about any of my information being compromised. The encryption and additional security measures are top-notch and make sure my data is fully protected.

Cons

The only downside to using MartusTools is that it can be a bit slow at times. The encryption and decryption process can take a while to complete, so if you need something done quickly, this may not be the best option.

Pros

Accessible through the web and integrates with our users current sign on credentials. It allows us to be fully paperless when communicating our financial reporting and during budgeting process.
It also allows us to quickly send out financials with a notification email that I trigger once entries are updated each month. It also seamlessly connects to our accounting software for continual updates on income and expenses without having to export and import manually.

Cons

Currently there isn't a mobile platform for accessing budget or financial reporting. You can view the webpage on your mobile device, but it isn't easy.

Pros

I was recently introduced to MartusTools and it's changed the way I do my accounting. I love that not only can I view my spending reports and budgeting information right from my accountants dashboard, but I like that I can schedule recurring reports and budgets to be emailed out to me automatically. I also love that MartusTools has a huge variety of reports and charts to help me get a better handle on my spending. It really makes budgeting a snap.

Cons

It is a great tool for you if you want to view and edit all reports in a short time. Overall I had a great experience and didn't see a problem. Everything is perfect.The interface may also look nicer if simple quality improvements are made.

Pros

The software is easy to use and provides a simple interface to submit modifications or new budgets for our grant programs.

Cons

There is a limited number of permissions you can setup. In that I cannot grant a user to be able to view budget mods that are pertinent to their program but were submitted by other users. Editing worksheets to develop a working budget for future periods is easy, however you cannot mass delete lines and you have to export and then import the budgets to make them active.

Pros

The Planner provides an efficient and effective means for budgeting across several departments. It is easy to use for the department heads. They love the ease of use and the look at the actuals of the prior year. The product is constantly being updated and improved. The Dashboard provides a great look at key performance factors with easy to understand graphics, great for communicating with church leaders.

Cons

Because the Planner is essentially a once per year tool, it is sometimes difficult for me ( a technically unsophisticated user) to use it properly as the administrator. Largely it is a matter of remembering the proper steps from year to the next, while at the same time accounting for updates to the product that have been released. The staff especially, are so responsive to help me with my own insufficiencies.

Pros

Martus is the only budgeting tool that I have found that integrates well with our accounting software so that we can see accurate expenses vs. budget in real time.

Cons

It is hard for some non-accounting staff to use and understand, the options for displaying the data are difficult to navigate to be able to see what we want to see. Not as flexible as I would like with reporting. Most of the time we export the data from Martus to excel to view there.

Pros

Compiles budget easily. Easy for managers to use.
Flexibility in financial reports
Good integration with Intacct software
No limit to number of users
Good value.
Excellent customer service

Cons

Updates happen on random dates. Would be helpful if they were scheduled.
I would like to customize a financial report but have to download to Excel to do so. Still using Intacct for this report but being able to put it in MartusTools would help the user.

Pros

We use Intacct for our accounting software and they charge by user so it is nice to be able to have unlimited users in Martus to view budget reports. Martus is super user friendly and has some additional tools that have helped us tremendously like the Budget Change Request tool and using their budget worksheets to collaborate between ministries and executives when planning for our next budget cycle. Bill is also ALWAYS super responsive and helpful so having great customer support is really awesome too.

Cons

Nothing! It's seriously so great. We are very pleased with Martus Solutions and I cannot think of any cons. They are always doing upgrades and quickly address any software upgrade suggestions which is really great.

Pros

The support and training is fantastic. Onboarding and initial data load was completed within about 24 hours of executing the agreement. The software is quite intuitive and reduces the time spent budgeting and planning significantly, also allows department managers to participate more interactively in the process. Reporting is straightforward, even for non-financial managers to understand. Every request that we have submitted for support has been quickly and professionally responded to. Overall by far the best experience we have had with any software connecting to our ERP.

Cons

It is difficult to identify anything that we like the least about MartusTools. Step-by-step training videos might be helpful for each of the modules - especially the less-frequently used modules that we access on an annual basis.

Pros

Easy actual to budget comparison and being able to drill all the way down to the invoice. Our staff no longer needs access to our accounting software. They can do all they need right from Martus which is much easier for them to naviage.

Cons

Just a little clunky on the back end but it keeps improving. Want the ability to hide inactive dimensions.

Pros

The transparency it offer to budget owners in our organization is second to none! Built in Intacct reporting can be clunky and difficult to navigate for the non-financial team member, however, MartusTools makes it easy for team members to get real-time numbers from our GL.

Cons

Wish we could delete accounts and departments after they synced from Intacct to Martus instead of just hiding them.
