Expensive and not very useful
There are a few things that need improvement, and one of them is definitely their customer service, although they have been working on it. Additionally, I work in the transportation sector. More specifically, I work in over-the-road transportation. It is very obvious that this scorecard was initially designed for manufacturing. Many of the questions that are asked do not pertain to my industry, and therefore, we cannot answer in the way that they require and we don't get points for certain things. And I will say, I mentioned that I'm filling out this survey for this year. And it Yes. has improved slightly for the transportation sector, so that's good news but there are still massive gaps. I do all of our non-financial disclosures. I do sustainability indices, MSCI, ISS, etc. The one thing that all of those do is they allow you to see, in one way or another, how you peer benchmark. So they help you see how you're doing compared to similar companies. Ecovadis does not provide that. If we could see how our peers were doing and what their scores were, then we could use that with senior management, and we could use that with the board of directors. And that would drive motivation internally to compete with our peers. I think it could be a competitive tool that Ecovadis could harness to make its users do better. Outside of that, they need to further improve how they measure over-the-road transportation within their current system.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There may be benefits if you're trying to screen your supply chain for ESG metrics."
"The reporting tools are what I gain the most benefit from."
"It's very stable."
"Adaptive saves us huge hours in budgeting, for each roll-up it saves us two hours at least, and we usually have more than 20 roll-ups."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"Customer Service: Excellent, always available and hardly needed."
"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."
"Automated reporting."
"The system has allowed us to take more than 90 spreadsheets and combine them into one system which automatically calculates based on assumptions, dimensions, etc."
 

Cons

"Does not allow you to see how you peer benchmark. Extremely expensive with very little value."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"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."
"Pricing can be made better affordable to SMEs. Every year price increase is an issue."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
"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."
"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."
"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
"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."
