> **Lynda** | *3 August 2020* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The integration was seamless. The implementation team at Xlerant was organized, responsive, and knowledgable.  The product is easy to use for both our admins and end-users.  &#10;&#10;The product meets all of our needs:   it's fully customizable and there are are several reporting options.  Forecasting, and creating several budget scenarios is important to us.  BudgetPak met those requirements too.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing to report here.  I honestly can't think of any cons.
> 
> Xlerant customer service and support are excellent.  If any questions arise, we ask and they promptly respond.  There is ongoing training offered in the form of a support site, webinars and newsletters.  &#10;&#10;BudgetPak is robust and well-written.  Our users are mostly non-financial people and they've found it easy to use.  We made the right choice.

### "Incredibly useful for establishing dynamic & inclusive ("bottom up" budgeting process" — 5.0/5

> **Clint** | *16 February 2018* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: End user experience is easy and intuitive.  I especially love the ability to establish monthly budgets which provides a much greater probability for accurate year-end forecasts.  The numerous ad hoc reports and MyExcel features are also dynamic and incredibly useful.
> 
> **Cons**: While Xlerant offers wonderful and ready customer service, we still found the installation process very time consuming and quite challenging.   Also, you need a person dedicated to the continued administration of this software.
> 
> Inclusive budgeting process and much enhanced ability to forecast and deliver needed reports.

### "Cathy's review" — 5.0/5

> **Catherine** | *5 October 2018* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: BudgetPak is a cloud based software, user friendly and easy to use for the non-financial user.
> 
> **Cons**: As Administrators, when you make changes in your company configuration, the Validation and Initialization process can take at least 1 hour or more to run. While this is happening, no other end users are able to see or work on their budgets since system is under maintenance.
> 
> We are a large property/casualty insurance company with 23 departments.  Departments are more aware of what they are spending and are looking for ways to control their costs.  End users have spoken very highly and favorably of the product.  They are fully engaged and more accountable with their own budgets and feel more involved in the overall budgeting process for the company.
