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.

Business Tools at Motorola Solutions

The tool is intuitive to use and, through automation, has been a real time-saver

When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user. For example, our RSN needs to approve the ticket first before it's moved to the next person rather than having them all grouped. It would be better if we could see all the tickets grouped at the same time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."

"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."

"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."

"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."

"Automated reporting."

"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."

"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."

"It's very stable."

More Adaptive Insights pros

"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."

"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."

"The best thing is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes."

"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."

"The most valuable feature is the performance."

"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."

"The support team responds fast."

"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."

More KiSSFLOW pros

Cons

"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."

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

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

"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."

"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."

"Better user interface (UI)."

"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."

More Adaptive Insights cons

"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."

"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."

"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."

"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."

"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."

"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."

"If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."

"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."

More KiSSFLOW cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"It's affordable."

"The license is very expensive."

"Kissflow's licensing cost is lower than other products. However, the contract has changed with the second version they have given us, which is the low-code one."

"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."

"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."

"The product costs $15 per user per month."
