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.

Precision reports have improved embedded analytics, though setup and documentation still need work
Every platform has its own way of working and definitely there is always a room for improvement. Jaspersoft is the same. I find that there is a good space on the learning curve, which can be decreased with proper documentation because if someone is a seasoned developer or a seasoned professional, it is easy to have the knowledge and the kind of reports they want to bring with Jaspersoft, but if some new learners or newbies are there, then definitely there is a learning curve on this. Additionally, on the licensing side there is a commercial and the enterprise license. You need to see which one suits you better and should not overpay it unnecessarily if it is not needed. The documentation gap is also there, so I would still recommend that the documentation can be much more emphasized, standardized, and have something specifically about the integration on the coding side, like how you should need to configure the things. That is where the documentation can be enhanced. I would say maybe on the performance and support size because if you are running it on the server, sometime the UI might or the report may take some time to refresh data or get a delayed response, and that is where things can be improved. If someone is looking for a seamless experience, they can definitely go for Jaspersoft. But if they are looking for a quick building of the report with drag and drop facilities, then there are some other tools for the report generations, quite easily. They can opt for that instead. For Jaspersoft, scalability is where it definitely shines in. We were working on different multiple reports against a data set over thousands or hundreds of records. By using its JSON data integration, it was easier to get all the data ingestion on the server-side filtering, then the performance remains stable even under the heavy load. It is really good. As I mentioned, the licensing part is important with the enterprise and the community license. You need to see which one suits you better. Additionally, on the speed side, if you are running it on a server side, you need to see and balance the load accordingly so that the refresh rate should be high and should not have a delayed response. That is another point. One of the more core points would be the documentation gaps. The user interface that can be enhanced because currently Jaspersoft Studio feels like a bit using a tool from an early 2005 or 2010 version. With respect to the newer generation or the current era, the UI needs to be enhanced and the user experience should disrupt the other competitors in the market. That is where the improvement can be done.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"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."
"Automated reporting."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"Automated reporting."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"It's very stable."
"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."
"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."
"If someone is looking for generating lucrative reports that are pixel perfect along with graphs, it is really helpful."
"The visualizations and updated technology have improved my team's productivity and decision-making tremendously."
"Once Jaspersoft is used, we have automated their manual activities and saved literally almost everything."
"The main thing I appreciate about Jaspersoft is the ease of creating reports; it's very straightforward."
"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."
"My main use case for Jaspersoft is that we inherited a legacy application that used Jaspersoft."
 

Cons

"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Needing to focus on upgrades for all industries, including CPG."
"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."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"The planning functionalities are the weakest part of Adaptive Insights."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"Jaspersoft can be improved if the user interface can be enhanced."
"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."
"The main dislike about Jaspersoft is the latency issue; sometimes when the report is generating, it takes more time than expected based on the report."
"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."
"I feel disappointed with the way it is being handled by the respective company that acquired TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"I have not given Jaspersoft a perfect 10 because, as a tool, it is somewhat complex."
"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."
"I have not seen a return on investment from using Jaspersoft; not a single one, hence why we are migrating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable."
"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
"Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
"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."
"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."
