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.

Easy to use with a nice design and good connectivity

TIBCO Jaspersoft has two versions. Version one is the enterprise version, The other one is the community version, and which allows us to use it for free. In the free version, we have to support ourselves. For the enterprise version, you have technical support if you need it. I wish that we had more support while in the portal, at least for the community version, or if we could talk to someone regarding issues, like how to configure or fine-tune would be helpful. We'd like to have help on how to solve some problems when we use the product and have some error or limitation. They need to, at the very least, improve the community. The Enterprise Edition has support, and we can force some tickets through the portal and then have an engineer support us in some cases. However, in terms of the subscription price, it's a bit high. Therefore, we'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

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

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

"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."

"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."

"It's very stable."

"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."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."

"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 product's configuration process could be faster."

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

"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."

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

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

More Adaptive Insights cons

"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."

"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."

"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."

"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."

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."

"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."

"It's affordable."

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

"Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."

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

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

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

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
