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.

The infographics feature is unique to Necto. However, they need better tutorials and community support.
The best feature I liked is the infographics which is great and it's best unique feature. It helps developers use existing infographics from the library or they can create their own and present to end users It's quite easy to create reports in Necto using the infographics feature. Collaboration…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"More accurate, reliable, and timely forecasting."
"Provides ability for business users to directly manage their plans, data, and budgets."
"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."
"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."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"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 has helped us to automate a lot of our processes."
"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."
"It connects to any data source."
"Amazing business intelligence tool with rich info graphics, it is one of the excellent self service BI tools with impeccable collaboration features."
"It is an easy infographic design app that requires very little effort to produce interactive dashboards in ways that make sense to the enterprise."
"It is an awesome tool, with really cool features such as being able to find relevant people when commenting on a data element, helping you quickly find the right people to solve problems, add them to a discussion, and get fast resolutions while storing all discussion histories in one place."
"The product is very easy to use, very ideal for rolling out a self-service data discovery and visualization solution for data scientist and business users."
"Very effective data presentation and collaborative environment."
"It has smart computing abilities to deliver some of the complex analytical requirements such as what-if analysis, pinpointing the actual issues and side by side comparison of business factors."
"It has nice social features which can give context based discussions, search for users and relevant content within the system."
 

Cons

"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"It's complex; thinking about the business models and capabilities in Adaptive."
"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 upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"The planning functionalities are the weakest part of Adaptive Insights."
"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."
"It should have quick connection and efficient data management for big data platforms such as Hadoop."
"There is very limited documentation available for this tool."
"No Outlook or Lotus support. No support for languages other than English."
"There is need for improvement with report sharing and documentation."
"Support for other languages should be provided."
"Limited support for big data analytics, limited awareness and distant learning like online courses."
"It becomes a big deal if the data to be handled is very large."
"Initially when one starts with the tool there are so many options on the console (it is a bit cluttered), one is a bit confused."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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