“Planful Offers Strong Consolidation Tools But Faces Slow Product Enhancements and Fees”
Planful is a very intuitive tool and the technical support team is great at responding quickly and resolving any issues. I also like that I'm able to consult with a Solutions Architect on more complex software related items when needing assistance on configuring the tool.

“System Struggles to Handle Data Volume as Company Expands Operations”
planful dynamic reporting and dynamic planning worked really well when we were a much smaller company, but as we have grown and added more data and more locations, Planful cannot keep up. Operating speed & our ability to report on the number of hospitals we have now has suffered. The system times out and will just give us errors when trying to complete certain tasks.
