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.

A customizable solution that helps to pull reports and send them as emails
We were manually populating things but the tool has helped us automate the process. We could pull the report automatically and send it as an email.  The tool is customizable, and it is not limited to any feature that it is built upon. You can do anything that you would like to do.  You need to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."
"It's very stable."
"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"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 were manually populating things but the tool has helped us automate the process. We could pull the report automatically and send it as an email."
 

Cons

"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"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 tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"You need to put queries manually. When you customize, you need to put queries manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
"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."
"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."
"It's affordable."
