Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions.""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.""Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools.""The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes.""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.""We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."

"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful.""Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel.""The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources.""The dashboard design interface is very intuitive and allows you to quickly and easily produce professional, innovative dashboards.""Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way.""Visually displaying data.""Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful.""It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."

Cons
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up.""The product's configuration process could be faster.""Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions.""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.""Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up.""Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work.""The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful.""Better user interface (UI)."

More Adaptive Insights Cons →

"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."

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."

  • "This solution is more expensive than Tableau, Qlik and Dundas. It is an expensive tool. They charge $75,000 while Tableau is $45,000."
