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.""Automated reporting.""We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization.""It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company.""Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard.""The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions.""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 level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.""When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."

Cons
"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.""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.""Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident.""We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time.""Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work.""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.""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."

More Adaptive Insights Cons →

"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement.""The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform.""The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."

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."

  • "I only use the free tier of the product."
  • "It is an open-source tool. My company hasn't explored Plotly's premium services yet, but I believe the prices could be on the premium side."
