Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes.""Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools.""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.""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'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.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."

More Adaptive Insights Pros →

"The most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data.""Sigma is a great software for non-technical business users. If someone's familiar with pivot tables or Excel or Google Sheets, they should be able to pick up Sigma pretty quickly. There is a very low bar for onboarding.""The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."

Cons
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time.""The product's configuration process could be faster.""The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful.""Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work.""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'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.""The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up.""Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."

More Adaptive Insights Cons →

"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations.""I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma.""The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."

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 retail price is set at one thousand dollars per creator per year."
