Adaptive Planning Manager at Alight

Adaptive scales well, simple to create new budget versions and models

For the organization I used to work at, it streamlined the process of creating budgets. It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday. So that made it easy. Reporting was pretty easy to set up as well. It streamlined the amount of time it took to do the budget as well as kind of making it simple to implement a rolling forecast process. So, it really was more just a productivity increase and time shortening for the budgeting and forecasting process.

Offers flexibility in design and saves time in budgeting and forecasting processes

I find Board to be simple and easy to use. It offers significant flexibility in designing solutions. The system overall is very useful, with many capabilities that provide flexibility. Our budgeting and forecasting processes support around three hundred twenty users who would otherwise rely on Excel, making Board invaluable for saving time.

Alan Sutton

Senior Manager at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

Workflow is straightforward and simple to understand, but there should be more automation and more simplicity from an end-user point of view

There is a little bit of reliance upon understanding the syntax of the actions that you want to take. Some of the other competitors have moved forward with that in terms of being able to make it more drag and drop and more logical, but there is still some way to go for UNIT4 in doing that, but they're getting there. With all these things, automation helps. The more they can do to simplify some of the complexities from the financial reporting, evaluation, and analysis sides, the better it would be. I'd like to see more automation and more simplicity from an end-user point of view.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Automated reporting."

"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."

"The reporting tools are what I gain the most benefit from."

"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."

"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."

"Customer Service: Excellent, always available and hardly needed."

"It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday."

"It's very stable."

More Adaptive Insights pros

"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."

"Other than that, I can't think of another software solution that we've managed at the city that went as well as BOARD has."

"The primary use case is developing a demand planning and collaboration platform, and it is performing well."

"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."

"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."

"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."

"We have been very happy with what we have seen."

"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."

More Board pros

"Its workflow is straightforward and simple to understand."

Cons

"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."

"It's complex; thinking about the business models and capabilities in Adaptive."

"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."

"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."

"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."

"The planning functionalities are the weakest part of Adaptive Insights."

"Pricing can be made better affordable to SMEs. Every year price increase is an issue."

"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."

More Adaptive Insights cons

"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."

"In general, we would like to see better logging in the procedural world as we currently find it deficient in procedural areas."

"Board's integration could be a bit more robust, but what we have works. If the design isn't right, the flexibility of Board can negatively impact performance."

"At first, the product was not very intuitive, but now if you get it, it is customizable."

"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."

"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."

"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."

More Board cons

"There is a little bit of reliance upon understanding the syntax of the actions that you want to take. Some of the other competitors have moved forward with that in terms of being able to make it more drag and drop and more logical, but there is still some way to go for UNIT4 in doing that, but they're getting there. With all these things, automation helps. The more they can do to simplify some of the complexities from the financial reporting, evaluation, and analysis sides, the better it would be. I'd like to see more automation and more simplicity from an end-user point of view."

"There is a little bit of reliance upon understanding the syntax of the actions that you want to take."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."

"Adaptive Insights' pricing is relative to its peer competitors. It's certainly competitive compared to a spreadsheet template that you build in Excel. It can be expensive if you need to have 100-500 budget holders giving input and building financial plans. However, in that case, it becomes an extremely good bargain. Compared to its competitors, it offers an excellent value."

"It's affordable."

"Pricing is in line with other cloud-based EPM tools. It is a subscription-based model based upon the number of users and site type if it's an admin or end-user type thing."

"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."

"Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."

"Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."

"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."

"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."

"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."

"In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."

"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."

"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."

"It's perhaps on the slightly richer side of pricing for the markets that we focus on because we tend to focus on the SME or the small to medium enterprise market, whereas a lot of UNIT4 ERP customers are in local government, universities, etc. Some years ago, they were launching an initiative to be keenly priced for that SME market, but today, the foot has come off the accelerator a bit. It isn't the cheapest, but it is also not the most expensive one."
