Andrew Rosenberg - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Oyindamola Adekunle - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective, user-friendly, and highly responsive tracking solution that is a valuable choice for businesses seeking efficient fleet management and monitoring
Currently, the system lacks route blocking and route deviation notifications, which I used to have with another platform. The ability to set up specific checkpoints to receive notifications if a vehicle deviates from the designated route and passes these points is not available at the moment, but it would be highly beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"Automated reporting."
"It's very stable."
"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."
"The important feature is integration with source data. It connects to various ERP systems, including Workday, Intact, and others. It can also import actuals and compare them to PlanPoint quite easily."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"The interface, outside of the app's digital features, is exceptionally user-friendly."
"It's a very good device to track all our equipment on-site."
"It has greatly facilitated our maintenance processes, allowing us to have a comprehensive view of on-site activities."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to remotely immobilize trucks in response to suspicious activities or unauthorized usage within seconds or minutes."
"The most valuable feature of Galooli is the Panorama feature."
 

Cons

"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"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."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"Galooli’s stability should be improved."
"There seems to be an issue with the integration between Panorama and the Galooli app."
"The areas that need significant improvement are technical support and on-site repair support, especially in the initial stages of the solution series."
"The ability to set up specific checkpoints to receive notifications if a vehicle deviates from the designated route and passes these points is not available at the moment, but it would be highly beneficial."
"The reports and analytics must be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
"It's affordable."
"Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
"It comes at a more cost-effective price point than other tracking solutions, making it a worthwhile investment."
"Galooli is an affordable solution."
"I find the pricing to be budget-friendly."
