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.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard.""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.""Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements.""Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed.""Automated reporting.""The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions.""We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."

Cons
"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.""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).""The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up.""Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident.""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 a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."

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."

  • "The product's pricing falls on the spectrum's cheaper side, excluding its licensing cost. The product's pricing is good compared to other tools in the market. My company makes payments towards the licensing costs of the product on a yearly basis."
