Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company.""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.""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.""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.""The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes.""Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."

"In MLOps, when we are designing the data pipeline, the designing of the data pipeline is easy in Google Cloud.""Google Cloud Datalab is very customizable.""The infrastructure is highly reliable and efficient, contributing to a positive experience.""The APIs are valuable.""All of the features of this product are quite good."

Cons
"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.""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.""We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time.""The product's configuration process could be faster.""Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work.""The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."

"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option.""The product must be made more user-friendly.""The interface should be more user-friendly.""Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience.""We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience."

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."
  • More Adaptive Insights Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is affordable for us because we have a limited number of users."
  • "The pricing is quite reasonable, and I would give it a rating of four out of ten."
  • "The product is cheap."
