Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard.""It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company.""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.""Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed.""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.""We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization.""Automated reporting."

"We were with Oracle previously. With Oracle, you have to buy a different piece of software for every business process. If you want to do budgeting, that's a product. If you want to do consolidation, that's a product. If you want to do BI type of work, that's yet another product. So, you end up buying a lot of software from Oracle. With OneStream, it is a little different. It is a platform where you can do all those things, and you can do them with just one software purchase and then you just pay for users on it.""The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."

Cons
"The product's configuration process could be faster.""Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident.""Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions.""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.""Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image.""Better user interface (UI)."

"We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it.""Currently, they only support one browser, and it would be good if you could use it on Chrome, Firefox, etc. It is a little frustrating that you can only use a certain Microsoft browser. They're pretty tightly aligned with Microsoft. So, I can see the reasons for it."

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

  • "They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."
  • "The licensing is expensive."
