It helped us to give real time reports to management that helped them to get financial planning solutions.

Very easy to use reporting and real-time consolidation that helps planning ahead. Mostly used for reporting to high management, and each time it provided fast and amazing solutions. Has lots of features.

Limited customisation and overall pricing could be the only con but works really well with large companies.

Adaptive Review
Reviewed on 2023/07/11
It was good. I will definitely work on Adaptive again in the future.
It was good. I will definitely work on Adaptive again in the future.
Pros
The architecture is really good. The ability to save the data and propagate it throughout the system was a plus. Additionally, the dimensions in reports and seeing differences between the dimensions were very useful.
Cons
The personnel and TBH list were in two different model lists. It is preferred if the employees, titles, etc were dimensions s nice that is the largest expense of our business. The reports by the employee and by account were difficult to use.

PlanfulReasons for Switching to Workday Adaptive Planning
We switched from Adaptive Planning at the end of last year to today. Currently, HeartFlow uses Planful for budgeting and forecasting. Planful's architecture is not as good. Saving information sometimes requires additional steps for WFP or reporting.

Quite effective but very sloppy interface for getting financials. The design is decades old and seems frustratingly under developed. The reporting is there but it does not have advanced functionality that you would expect from such a pricey product.
Pros
Powerful - allows you to create custom reports, filter by various parameters, create different views
Reliable - Stable and does not crash
Light - Able to work through web interface which makes it a breeze even on thin clients
Compatible - with most browsers and does not have hangups
Cons
Interface - looks like 2 generations old. Very barebones and non intuitive
GUI - the design is extremely sloppy - and requires you to know your way through.
Lack of advanced functionality

I will always recommend Adaptive to FP&A professionals. Once you use it and truly understand it, I'm sure you will do the same. There is little wonder why they are a leader in the SaaS space.
Pros
A cloud-based tool that enables you to forecast and budget different scenarios. OfficeConnect (an add-on feature) allows you to create reports directly in Excel and increases overall team efficiency.
Cons
Setting up Adaptive Insights is a crucial, timely, and difficult process. However, the time you put into building your instance initially saves time and pays dividends in the future.
