Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements.""Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed.""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.""It's very stable.""Automated reporting.""It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company.""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."

"Sage Intacct, a full-fledged ERP, can handle complexity that smaller accounting software cannot handle.""The product is easy to use.""Its custom reports feature is also noteworthy, as it provides flexibility for users to create their reports, tailored to their specific areas of expertise.""The solution helps us create entity models for each acquisition as we acquire companies..""We also use some of the other Sage solutions and for the most part, everything was integrated in the manner that I found beneficial.""It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP.""The most significant advantage of this solution is its pure cloud-based nature.""It's a powerhouse and it delivers. It has really great audit trails in it, which add so much value that the other systems don't have."

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 upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful.""Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work.""Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up.""Better user interface (UI).""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.""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 →

"There's a little bit of room for improvement in the way that accounts payable approval workflows are set up. They could be a little more powerful than they are.""The area where I would like to see significant improvement is in stock management.""While we can create, post, and manage general entries, we face a limitation in allocating multiple JL accounts.""It would be good if the training were perfect for all controllers, to teach them the basic tools and how to use everything in Sage Intacct.""Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing.""The inventory module is quite tricky to use.""We have had some pharma manufacturers use Intacct at a very early stage and move to other ERP packages to maintain manufacturing controls and documentation needed for FDA-regulated entities.""In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."

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 →

  • "The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
  • "Compared to other ERP systems on the market, it offers competitive and reasonable pricing."
  • "It's reasonably priced, offering fixed pricing, which is quite fair."
  • "Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
