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.

Pixel perfect reports have improved complex safety compliance and multilingual operations
Currently, I see that Jaspersoft does not have any AI features in the version I am using, 7.01. I think in a coming version, we will get some AI features that will help developers develop reports quickly. That is one improvement I see as necessary. As a developer using Jaspersoft, I faced challenges initially with controlling text and other elements. However, over time, when I repeatedly used all those features, I became accustomed to it. Taking up this tool and developing with it takes some time to understand how to handle different aspects, and obviously, the documentation we have to go through is quite lengthy. If we can use some modern technology or AI tools to summarize the documentation and other resources, that would be useful for developers. I have not given Jaspersoft a perfect 10 because, as a tool, it is somewhat complex. There are certain elements of reporting that are somewhat difficult to implement in Jaspersoft compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our organization is able to use Adaptive to complete a major majority of our monthly management and quarterly Board reports, and by refreshing reports and pages automatically, it creates the monthly report package with little to no manual staff work."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"More accurate, reliable, and timely forecasting."
"Adaptive saves us huge hours in budgeting, for each roll-up it saves us two hours at least, and we usually have more than 20 roll-ups."
"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 reporting tools are what I gain the most benefit from."
"We have gone from an organization that looked backwards at financials and had a one-time annual budget to an organization that looks forward, has rolling forecasts, long-term planning, metrics, and push button reporting."
"The system has allowed us to take more than 90 spreadsheets and combine them into one system which automatically calculates based on assumptions, dimensions, etc."
"The visualizations and updated technology have improved my team's productivity and decision-making tremendously."
"We have seen a return on investment as significant time was saved through automation, and it gradually reduced manual intervention during data fetching and publishing to the dashboard."
"Jaspersoft has significantly reduced a lot of time, and the user is very happy, and the client is also very happy to see report generation happen very quickly, which has effectively reduced the time of report generation and is very useful."
"Jaspersoft has positively impacted my organization by making our manual work a lot easier, allowing us to automate our tasks and save a lot of time."
"Finally, I conclude that Jaspersoft is a great tool."
 

Cons

"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"It's complex; thinking about the business models and capabilities in Adaptive."
"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."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Needing to focus on upgrades for all industries, including CPG."
"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."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Jaspersoft indicates that the pricing feels on the higher side when compared to Power BI or Tableau."
"I have not given Jaspersoft a perfect 10 because, as a tool, it is somewhat complex."
"The initial setup cost is high as the implementation is complex, but the pricing is consistent with market standards, and the licensing cost is also consistent with market standards."
"The UI and UX of Jaspersoft could be improved as it feels outdated or complex, and enhancement is needed to make it easier for users to utilize more features."
"Jaspersoft can be improved if the user interface can be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
"It's affordable."
"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
"Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
"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."
"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."
