Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed.""Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard.""Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements.""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.""The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions.""The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."

"I am looking forward to testing their full graphics that are available, as they looked very interesting in the demo.""Great capability, performance, flexibility, visuals, and the solution is also very cost effective."

Cons
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time.""The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up.""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.""The product's configuration process could be faster.""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.""The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."

"Would like the ability to be able to benchmark.""There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources."

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 →

  • "14,000 Pounds per year for licensing."
  • "I am still using the two-week trial, but at first sight, the price is reasonable."
