Adaptive Planning Manager at Alight

Adaptive scales well, simple to create new budget versions and models

For the organization I used to work at, it streamlined the process of creating budgets. 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. So that made it easy. Reporting was pretty easy to set up as well. It streamlined the amount of time it took to do the budget as well as kind of making it simple to implement a rolling forecast process. So, it really was more just a productivity increase and time shortening for the budgeting and forecasting process.

Quotes from Members

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."

"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."

"Automated reporting."

"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."

"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."

"Automated reporting."

"More accurate, reliable, and timely forecasting."

"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."

More Adaptive Insights pros

"Customer Service: It's excellent."

"Easy to use Rich functionality Complete corporate performance management solution Based on modern technology Cloud-ready All of them allow me to manage my business."

"I would say US$80K/year as it has automated the process and saved us from hiring a new analyst."

"The ability to budget on individual levels, i.e. by person for payroll, by vehicle for transportation, etc."

"Words can’t express how much our company benefited from using this product."

"Easy to use Rich functionality Complete corporate performance management solution Based on modern technology Cloud-ready All of them allow me to manage my business."

"Definitely take a look at this product and its offerings as it has a lot of useful features and could be used to simplify processes and day to day activities."

"It has enabled us to cut the budgeting process by 50% as well as making the budgets more acute."

More Prophix pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"We do have issues getting information on our customer success turnover."

"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."

"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."

"The planning functionalities are the weakest part of Adaptive Insights."

"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."

"Pricing can be made better affordable to SMEs. Every year price increase is an issue."

More Adaptive Insights cons

"The Microsoft multidimensional cubes does have several disadvantages in write back solutions which results in poor performance."

"The process speed and integration with sources of transaction detail needs work."

"Discovery was not in depth enough for our deployment to be successful – we had a lot of problems and had to take short-cuts due to a lack of planning."

"With the report writing there are some issues."

"I think the mobile capabilities could be improved."

"There were problems in a certain version with the speed, but they have fixed this in later versions."

"The user interface could be improved as it is not an intuitive product for every type of user."

"BI analytics Few related Ad Hoc Analyses in one window Sorting and filtering in Data View"

More Prophix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."

"It's affordable."

"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."

"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."

"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."

"Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
