Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"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."
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"Automated reporting."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation. We don't have to do reporting in Excel anymore, which has cut down on the errors and the efficiency of our close time."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"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."
"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."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools."
