Reviews
(1-25 of 158)Workday Adaptive Planning Review
- Version Control
- Import of transactions and importing data is straight forward and fast. Split accounts also allow user to improve accuracy.
- Admin has control over design and layout of sheets instead of IT.
- Text field from spilt accounts does not migrate into office connect. For example: Capex account: Capacity, free text field: 4 fork lifts, Timespan: April, Total: $160k. Officeconnect can only show Account, Timespan and Total. IE Capacity, April, $160k.
- Scenario can only merge to base version. Cannot merge into different version.
Adaptive Planning, a key cog in a well run business
- Budgeting
- Collaboration
- Reporting
- Forecasting
- Load Time
Solid and intuitive planning solution
- A very intuitive solution from a budget contributor point of view. The sheets are clean and the drag and drop functionalities make it easy to get started.
- The many different custom dimensions and attributes make it easy to slice and dice the data to your liking.
- The Adaptive logic is different than the Excel logic so it does require you to revise your current Excel models to bring them onto the platform.
- We are still trying to figure out if, and how easy it is to bring more complex models to Adaptive (predictive modeling, Monte Carlo simulations etc).
Adaptive review from a national nonprofit
- Discovery - monitoring KPIs. The new Discovery interface is the easiest dashboard I've ever used. I can have a new report on a Dashboard in under a minute.
- Reporting - the click and drag graphical user interface makes it easy to design reports to answer almost any financial question. It also makes it easy to adapt a single report for 100 different users.
- Planning - having multiple versions and multiple levels allows us to compare, contrast, monitor and manage with ease.
- The in-house consultants who originally set up Adaptive were poor listeners - and as a result built a model that didn't work for my organization. I had to hire an outside consulting firm with more experience with nonprofits to redo my model. I lost about 1 year of usefulness as a result.
- Mastering attributes for reporting takes time. The system can do many things, but not without lots of time and effort. I ended up hiring a consultant to build initial reports I needed. I'm comfortable enough now to edit and update, but still have some hesitancy building new reports. One difficulty I have is not knowing the impact a single change, such as the name of a field, can have on everything else associated with that named field or dimension or attribute. It would be nice to have a map showing the links between everything.
Effective in cost and use but not a panacea
- Summarize data.
- Clean layout.
- Aggregate across sources.
- Ease of use.
- Robustness.
- Data dynamism.
- Forecasts very easily
- Setting up formulas to auto populate certain areas makes it much easier for budget owners to fill it out.
- Collaboration between the FP&A team as well as the budget owners is all done within Workday Adaptive Planning rather than through team messages or emails. Much more efficient.
- There have been some issues with the mapping between Workday Adaptive Planning and our accounting system, Intacct, that has required additional support beyond what we were able to do in house.
- Some of the formulas break due to budget owners not knowing what they are doing. This has been fixated with updates to Workday Adaptive Planning over the years but it still pops up every once in a while.
- Better reporting functionalities.
Workday Adaptive Planning – It’s Versatile!
- Creation of Versions.
- Reporting and Dashboarding.
- Model Flexibility.
- Web reports within Dashboard would be great.
- Version to Version referencing within model formulas.
- Calculations within reports that allow you to add data across different versions.
Workday FINS and Adaptive simultaneous implementation, 3 years on
- Our annual budgeting and forecasting process at a company and cost center level
- integration with Workday FINS is seamless
- Integration with Excel is a huge bonus and really where our users spend the most time.
- We don't know what we don't know...more training on specific use cases would have expanded our use of the tools
- There is certainly a cost associated with it, we're glad we have the combined package with Workday
- The tool has its own language and lexicon, and you have to adapt (no pun) to it
Excellent Planning and Analytics Tool.
- Better than Excel for multi-faceted planning.
- Allows real-time collaboration, analytics, and reporting.
- Gives power users the flexibility to create their own planning models.
- Allows integration of multiple different data sources.
- Web reports and sheets are not great for in-depth reporting, and require the use of the OfficeConnect for Excel plugin and, therefore, the use of Excel for extensive reporting capabilities.
- It has limited formula functionality in some instances, requiring again the use of OfficeConnect for Excel for extensive calculations.
- I would like to see new planning sheet types or upgrades to existing sheet types; functionality has been the same for over 10 years.
Adaptive Rocks at Workfront!
- I love how easy it is to track software and general amortizations in Adaptive. The software has been an issue with my past employers, but it flows very easily here in Adaptive.
- We also use Adaptive's OfficeConnect for easy reporting. It has helped us automate our reporting as we work with internal departments. We have the reports built, and the software and can refresh all of them simultaneously, reducing generation time and giving us more time for analysis.
- We are building out more operational metrics now. We are starting to track sales opportunities across different business segments to see the correlation between spending activities and opportunity generation. This helps us set better targets in the future. This paired with OfficeConnect also makes it very easy to track and report on operational metrics in addition to financial metrics.
- It can get cumbersome to have separate sheets for all prepaid expenses. The software works out very neatly - but creating a new sheet for each prepaid expense can be difficult. Because of this, I feel like forecasting is less based on actual plans, and more based on gut feelings, and trends rather than actual plans.
- I wish OfficeConnect could pull individual lines rather than just aggregated data. The example that I'm trying to work on now is that I would like to pull personnel information from OfficeConnect (mainly pulling lists of employees, or open positions). I don't know how to do that currently. I can pull aggregated data and show totals - but I can't see the individual lines that make up that total within OfficeConnect.
CareStar recommends Adaptive Insights for reporting and dashboards
- Financial Reporting - financial statements are done instantaneously once the books are closed. There is no processing required. Recipients of the reports can obtain everything they need self-service. There is no distribution process required.
- Budgeting/forecasting - We converted our Excel process (which used 30 linked workbooks, 20 sheets each, and 50+ formulas each sheet, for a total of 30,000 formulas) to Adaptive. Now that the model is set up, new forecasts can be set up in minutes, rather than hours/days. The whole model is driver-based and easy to manage. It is much more intuitive for our directors, too. All they need to supply are updated drivers to run a new budget or forecast.
- Dashboard - We now have a company-wide mechanism for communicating KPIs, and both financial and non-financial data. Data can be presented both visually or in numeric formats.
- The Adaptive Planning portion of the suite is very mature and has few short-comings. The biggest improvement I can think of is the ability for formulas to cross versions.
- The Adaptive Discovery (dashboard) portion of the suite is much less mature. There are many chart types not available that are in Excel. For example, I would like to have an X-Y scatter chart to use. Also, some of the dial (chart) types have very little formatting options (like pie charts).
- While the object of the web-based product is to eliminate paper printing, there are times when it is necessary to print financial statements. It would be nice to print directly to pdf with the ability to format the reports.
Adaptive is well suited to present data (both financial and non-financial) in the form of financial statements, reports, budgets, forecasts, and dashboards to a distributed audience. That is, any data that can be accessed, and then summarized and presented for analytical and reporting purposes. The web-based platform allows for end-user access anywhere.
Where it is less appropriate, and often mistakenly so by those not directly involved in administering the product, is to try to use it as a replacement for an operational database and operational report writer. For example, in a SQL database, it would be better to write operating level reports directly in that database as SQL reports.
Workday Adaptive Planning unlocks financial management
- Financial analysis
- User friendliness
- User interface
- More instructional demos on different utilities
- More flexibility on custom set ups
- Info button to understand what some statically tools depict
Adaptive Insights - Effectively manage actual data and budget data
- Web-based system which eliminates the need to purchase new software. System is accessible anywhere as long as there is internet access.
- Its features provide for good planning, budgeting, and forecasting.
- The ability to create customized reports is a very nice touch - we are able to share this across our organization.
- The drill down details are very helpful in confirming expenses.
- The layout of the various reporting options could be displayed in a more user-friendlier way. It's a bit difficult to locate where to find the reports.
- I'm finding that the drill down feature from the monthly financials section is not as convenient as it should be.
- The exporting to Excel or PDF format is a bit off - it's time consuming to manipulate the excel to a regular paper size.
- A tutorial on how to create different reports for different end users would be helpful.
- It is very powerful while someone would like to work on multiple sheets together.
- We can also integrate or we can say copy the data from external excel sheets which makes life easy.
- It is also very helpful for planning without affecting the organizational budget for every department. It is very easy to use and manage.
- There are some limitations of this tool as well and personally I didn't like the way it restrict us to change the sheet frequently, it can be lead to wrong calculations for monthly or quarterly planning.
- This is also not much flexible, it should have integration mechanism to connect with other tools and data accessibility too.
- Sometimes we also faced the slowness issue while performing complex task. This can be improved.
Great way to actively plan business processes and analyze all data across business units
- It helps create dynamic plans for finances, operations and various functional units in an organization all under one platform
- It helps in scenario modeling to help analyze various business events and report by any number of business dimensions including channel, customer or product
- It can be integrated with any system including ERP, BI or CRM
- For complex KPI, it takes times in case the dataset is huge and can lead to business disruptions if not done in real time
- It cannot be shared with new individuals or stakeholders who were not initially added to a particular plan
- Plans cannot be shared easily over mail and require third party integrations
- Keeps everything HR and Team management wise in one place
- Excellent and easy to use layout and user interface
- It's very easy to navigate and find your way around even for first time users
- Requires minimal training to get up and running
- Sometimes it can be a little difficult to find smaller details within the software that you might be looking for
- Can be a little overwhelming to those that are just looking to use one particular function
Adaptive Planning is the way to go
- Headcount Planning
- Expense Forecasting
- Software Amortization Schedule
- The more dimensions you add, the slower the software becomes.
- Not many great training tools for newer users
- Tracing formulas between sheets is not the best
Forecasting made easy
- Flexibility
- Ease of use
- Intergration with other tools (SAP, SAP FC, Excel)
- Reporting
- Formatting of the built-in reports
- Performance should be inproved for larger datasets
- Dashboard improvements. Formatting and the option to integrate reports
- Better integration with Workday
Great product when properly trained
- It does well with version control. I can ensure that all 27 entities know exactly which version is the correct budget that is approved.
- It does well with scenario planning. I can easily make adjustments with to the budget whether that is pushing sales, expenses, headcount, or capital projects.
- It does a good job with enforcing unity with the chart of accounts.
- It does permissions for different groups well.
- It did reporting groups and distribution well.
- There has been a real lack of training. This has caused issues especially with creating new reports.
- There could be better shortcut keys similar to Excel.
- There could be a better search functionality with the self tutorial area.
- Excellent documentation with articles and videos.
- Strong implementations network of consultants.
- Accessible staff for Q&A (like formulas Friday and other weekly sessions).
- Being cloud only, occasionally the model may be slow to load or update.
- Certain features like user assigned sheets are edit only or no access (no read-only access).
- Dimension level security is coming in a future release (Fall 2019).
- Cannot have multiple security profiles per user (one profile per account).
Workday Adaptive Planning at a glance
- Eliminates the need for Spreadsheet with far better collaborative feature
- Excellent User interface and ease of usage.
- Great analytics and charting. It stores historical information and is valuable for forecasting and comparing with historical data.
- Excellent tool to create dynamic models for budgets and forecasts that can connect directly to financials.
- Trend Analysis
- This being a SAAS Solution , sometimes the models are slow to update and load
- The search functionality can be improved with some user friendly tutorials.
- Not sure if it supports shortcuts like Excel. Seasoned excel users would like to have similar shortcuts.
- Documentation and training can be improved , specifically around creation of complex models and integration with other tools.
As the system grows, sometime the time to load and update model increases. There is room for improvement on customization of reports.
Adaptive Insights to the rescue
- It is one database, so there is no pulling together or consolidating of data
- It allows for structural changes to be made such that if a corporate decision is made that impacts everyone, or even a segment of the units, the change can easily be made in minutes
- At the end of the process, often times we will want to dig into the numbers, and possibly change some, based on how they all roll up. Previously, this was an Excel nightmare. Now it is instant and seamless.
- Discovery provides an "at your fingertips" display of every KPI that you can dream up, as well as trends, breakdowns, and projections that are driving or being driven by those indicators.
- I would like to see the ability to completely turn off all calculations for a budget version, such that it is locked down, and would require an act of Congress to change a number. We have had a few cases where something was inadvertently changed AFTER the budget was finalized.
- The ability to back-up an entire budget would be helpful (see the comment above).
Acquire Adaptive!
- User-friendly
- It empowers users to work on their own
- It makes it easy to view and create online reports
- The option of a template is very important for the personalization of reports
- None
How do you differentiate?
- Capacity Planning.
- Financial Forecasting.
- Strategic Workforce Planning.
- Future Workforce.
- Fulfillment Modelling.
Adaptive Insights to the moon
- Adaptive is an excellent tool in creating dynamic models for budgets and forecasts that can connect directly to our financials.
- The most powerful tool of Adaptive is the ability to handle complex calculations behind the scenes while mupltiple users can access our instance and see the results in real-time.
- Adaptive Insights could improve it's user training by offering more video instructions that our included in customer subscriptions.
- The Office Connect feature is a great tool for working with financial data in Excel. I believe this will be an area to focus on improvement as many of their competitors have better functionality with pulling and drilling into data.
