We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Automated reporting.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard.""It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company.""The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes.""Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools.""It's very stable.""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 is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it.""The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use.""Beautiful visualizations.""The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe.""The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards.""Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW.""SAP Lumira is the best system in the world, at least in my opinion. I like that it's a stable system and that many people in my company have development experience in SAP Lumira. The solution keeps on improving and has excellent support."

Cons
"The product's configuration process could be faster.""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.""Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions.""We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time.""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.""Better user interface (UI).""The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."

More Adaptive Insights Cons →

"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination.""Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow.""It needs an easier printing feature.""SAP Lumira can improve if they game more capability to the end user to prepare dashboards because it's more of an IT task to create them. In Tableau, we can drag, drop, and create. However, in SAP Lumira, we need a designer and a separate KT to be able to do it well.""It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult.""I'm not a fan of using SAP Lumira because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP Lumira is a complex system to learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly.""It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."

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 →

  • "PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
  • "In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."
