We performed a comparison between Adaptive Insights and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"It's very stable."
"Automated reporting."
"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 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."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."
"It is easy to adapt visualizers to have interactive conversations among decision-makers."
"The most valuable features are data discovery and fine visualizations."
"Tableau has data relationships that can be applied to a data source which helps build out a directory which is helpful. Data blending has also been valuable to us."
"It has been the best tool to work with from a self-service point of view."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
"It's very easy to use and users don't need any IT support to access it as the information is right there."
"The solution is being delivered to our customer, who appreciates the insights generated from the reports. It is easy for them to drill into the details and use interactive charts."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how 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."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"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."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"The data entered into Tableau must be clean. Otherwise, it won't work properly."
"The solution needs to improve its integration capabilities."
"Reports should be downloadable as PDF files."
"It should offer better features for customization."
"They need a write-back; that is what is missing. If they get the write back to the database, they will be fully automated, but for the time being, they are not."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"When it comes to visualizations, Tableau has a limitation as compared to Power BI. It has a limited set of visualizations. Power BI has the entire marketplace, so you can connect and import many visualizations and use them, whereas Tableau has only 10 or 15 visualizations. There should be more visualizations, and there should also be data integration with more cloud providers."
"The pricing is high. I'm using a student license, however, I know that even this license is very expensive. I've tried to have this product in our organization, however, it's quite expensive. We don't have the internal budget."
