About Kepion
Kepion is a cloud-based business planning software powered by Microsoft Business Intelligence which combines budgeting, forecasting, BI reporting, and intuitive modelling technology in a single, centralized platform, enabling users to produce and plan applications around the way their organization works. Kepion caters for businesses of all sizes, including SMBs and large enterprises, and supports custom-built apps, as well as an end-to-end BI platform, web-based access, flexible integration, real-time calculations, and more.
Kepion enables sales, finance, operations, marketing and HR departments to configure personalized planning apps designed specifically for how they work, with review planning and sales forecasting budgeting, plus workforce planning and project planning tools. Users can conduct 'what-if' scenarios, integrate Kepion with their source system for data to import automatically from their ERP, CRM or SCM system, and plan, monitor, and analyze by any facet or combination of facets of data on a single dashboard. Intuitive dashboards help users create and manage projects by giving quick access to key measurements for ongoing performance.
Kepion also enables users to perform bottom-up or top-down allocations and determine the mode of appropriation down to the granular level, as well as set KPIs to make informed decisions, and identify areas of risk before they become a problem. Reporting tools enable users to visualize and analyze all sales, finance and operational group information in a single, consolidated view. Kepion allows users to brand their own reporting and analysis software by arranging filters, forms, charts, graphs and images how they want.
The BI modeler helps users create, manage, and optimize apps on the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform, and manage the dimensions, data rules, and dashboards, without needing any technical knowledge. Kepion also supports a range of new features including data preparation, visual planning and process tracking.

Easy solution for agile methodologies
Reviewed on 26/07/2022
Pros
It can adapt to new organizational forms and needs with ease. We've found that by switching to an agile approach, we can provide a far better solution for our clients. Many users may have already been familiar with the workflow and design architecture because the software is built to look like how Microsoft software looks.
Cons
The tool's reporting functionality is notably subpar. Not only that, but the functionality of deployment is lacking in integration option that it can integrated with.

I have had a great relationship with the Kepion team, they are very flexible in improving the product and are very focused on client outcomes.
Pros
It is the flexible to changing business structures and requirements. By adopting an agile methodology, we find that customers get a vastly better outcome as we can change structures quickly. The tool is based on Microsoft technologies, therefore a lot of customers can leverage existing infrastructure. Kepion is a complete modelling tool and therefore allows for operational applications to be delivered outside of the finance departments, such as marketing and asset management processes.
Cons
Larger implementations require additional effort to make sure user experience and performance is acceptable. As the structure is based on a dimensional model, you sometimes need to thoroughly consider the user interactions and any likely bottlenecks to ensure you achieve the optimal user experience.

This software was the budgeting / forecasting piece that was missing in our Microsoft SQL infrastructure. It has helped our customers tremendously to reduce their planning process from months to days, having the ability to create detailed monthly forecasts in a simple manner.
Pros
You can customize just about anything. It utilizes the Microsoft BI stack well with dimensions, models SQL server tables etc. Easy to adjust the solution to each and every customer needs and requirements. It is easy to read information into the system and out of the system into other tools such as Tableau or PowerBI
Cons
It still has silverlight functionality, which makes the UI for end users a little bit old. The reporting functionalities within the system are not great compared to dedicated reporting tools such as Tableau. Is not the best fit for very small companies with 50 employees or less.
