Adaptive Insights Reviews

Pros

It was useful for forecasting and planning with existing data and for preparing plans around different scenarios.

Cons

It can take quite a while to get familiar with the software and set it up and becoming fluent in the program has a steep learning curve.

Pros

Adaptive Insights made it simple to check my schedule and submit requests for PTO, schedule changes and similar needs.

Cons

Signing up with my specific organization and accessing its portal could sometimes be a little confusing.

Pros

I can monitor cash flow whenever I need to and linking my bank account and expense management tool makes most things happen automatically. The system keeps getting updates and the support team gets back to me very quickly. It is essential to my daily business!

Cons

There's very little I don't like: the handling, simplicity, account integration and planning all work for me. That says plenty about it!

Pros

A dependable tool for automating and organizing the financial planning, budgeting and forecasting process. It also offers powerful features for financial reporting and analytics.

Cons

Financial planning has felt smooth and effective since I started using this tool and I haven't found anything about it that I dislike.

Pros

Everything feels well organized and the system creates forms quickly with a very professional look.

Cons

I have no real complaints. A few tutorial videos showing where to find things could help when something is difficult to locate.

Pros

Good value for money, security, customer support, financial management, financial reporting, report generation and accounting and tax.

Cons

No second thoughts about using this platform and I look forward to trying other products from this company.

Pros

Working with both the front and back end interface is enjoyable. The sheets feel accessible and the formula syntax is easy to follow. Best of all, I can trace a questionable value back to its source model and troubleshoot easily when something seems off.

Cons

Each version has a size or capacity limit. During the build, formulas need to be written with performance in mind to make the most of that capacity.

Pros

Easy to use both as a user and an employee. Security is excellent, customer support is exceptional and the value is strong.

Cons

Reporting could be stronger, with more options to choose from and better breakdowns for scheduling and actual hours.

Pros

We get our financial results turned around much faster than we used to, then can use those numbers to build a rolling forecast with little effort once the original formulas are set up. At this point, the process is nearly automatic.

Cons

Some reporting features are a bit inflexible: Vol/Rate analysis can only be done by downloading to Excel and getting QTD values is difficult unless saved reports are edited on the backend.

Pros

Its popularity initially suggested it was a trusted product. After using it and comparing it with other softwares though, I believe that popularity comes from persistent sales efforts rather than product superiority.

Cons

Using it feels outdated and overly complicated, with little regard for the user. Anything that can be made simpler should be. When the people in charge lack empathy or emotional intelligence, the result is a Insights-style interface.

Pros

Having single sign-on (SSO) integrated with this product made access easier for our organization and was a useful option.

Cons

Security isn't integrated with the platform. It would be better if security could be tied to positions instead of individual users.

Pros

Adaptive Insights is quick, secure and simple to use, helping non-financial planners manage and review finances with ease.

Cons

It takes a while to get comfortable with the software and some parts can be hard to learn. This type of software can also leave more room for errors.

Pros

Once set up, it takes very little work to maintain. The data visualizations were quite good and I really appreciated the planning and forecasting tools.

Cons

Getting it set up took a very long time. If you can, it's best to have someone who's taken a certification class handle the setup.

Pros

It comes close to being great although some parts of the UI can be a pain. It feels like it is nearly there.

Cons

At times, the UI feels outdated. Sometimes you can find everything you need and other times it seems buried somewhere. It is still close to perfect.

Pros

Its key integrations help keep data reliable and in sync with the major accounting systems.

Cons

Since Workday acquired it, the product has seen no development. It is stale, while other platforms offer much stronger functionality and are easier to use.

Pros

Scheduling training is easy and all our associates' training is scheduled in the tool.

Cons

I liked everything about it and have nothing more to say here.

Pros

In my use, it worked very well for forecasting and connecting with systems like SAP.

Cons

It took extensive training to get there and can be complex.

Pros

Adaptive Insights is useful for industry reporting. Its OfficeConnect Excel add-on helps a lot making it simple to move between data dimensions and break down the information.

Cons

The tool works well but functionality is limited around cost allocations and how master data elements are used.

Pros

Scalability and connectivity are features I value and I also appreciate the AI integration that helps us stay up to date on budget trends.

Cons

I haven't come across any drawbacks in the software yet.

Pros

Everything you need is in one place with this all-in-one software. You can check time off taken, submit requests, view paystubs and taxes and keep it all at your fingertips.

Cons

Finding things can take some figuring out, even though everything is at your fingertips. The interface is a bit confusing at first and getting around the site isn't the easiest.
