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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"Provides ability for business users to directly manage their plans, data, and budgets."
"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."
"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."
"Reduced planning and budgeting time - it takes hardly a couple of days to complete my entire budgeting exercise, uploading actual data and generating monthly reports with comparison of actual versus budgets in no time."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"This solution transformed the way both of my companies did reporting."
"Very good tool for the ones who are looking for ease of use and rich data visualization."
"Interactive and eye-catchy graphs and widgets, real time conditional notifications on related KPIs to the users, exception handling capabilities, and the capability to connect to multiple data source systems make it a nice conglomeration for flexibility to the developer and an end user friendly tool."
"If you are looking for a low-price BI tool which would give you maximum value for money, go for Panorama Necto."
"Eye catching infographics and very good collaborative capabilities providing context based discussion has really impressed our users within the organization."
"I would definitely recommend this product to others as it provided ease of use and good reports."
"Amazing business intelligence tool with rich info graphics, it is one of the excellent self service BI tools with impeccable collaboration features."
"While working on Business Intelligence and searching for newly available tool, I came across Panorama Necto, the first business tool I have seen with a scope for personalization while providing a great visual infographic experience and which is user friendly."
"They have started working with Panorama Necto and are extremely happy with the product."
 

Cons

"Pricing can be made better affordable to SMEs. Every year price increase is an issue."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"The planning functionalities are the weakest part of Adaptive Insights."
"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."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"We do have issues getting information on our customer success turnover."
"There are limitations for big data analysis."
"No Outlook or Lotus support. No support for languages other than English."
"The user console is bit complicated when beginning to work with it."
"Support for other languages should be provided."
"Administration is an area where it needs improvement as a huge set of scripts are required."
"Scheduling and publishing is a bit complex task."
"Blogs or videos related to the use of the tool would be more helpful in understanding how to use it."
"Improvement needed for big size BI application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
"Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
"It's affordable."
"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."
"Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
"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."
