Reviews
(51-75 of 203)A must-have planning tool
- Adaptive is a cloud-based system that allows our users to interact with Finance from anywhere in the world.
- Office Connect is a great add-on to Excel that allows us to set-up reports and refresh them in an instant for more detailed information needed throughout the company.
- The report section is great but it doesn't quite give you the flexibility that Office Connect (Excel Add-On) does.
Adaptive Insights is a timesaver
- Full solution to replace Excel in your planning instance.
- Very versatile, you can suit it to your business needs very well. The sky is the limit.
- Because it is so open and versatile, sometimes you can get lost on what you are trying to accomplish. There are not as many templates as some might want.
- It can be difficult to model solutions that aren't necessarily calendar based, but might be time based. Month1, Month2, etc. as opposed to Jan 2020, Feb 2020, etc.
The only difficulty we have had with Adaptive is when we wanted to model something with cohorts as opposed to a monthly calendar. That is, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3 as opposed to Jan 2020, Feb 2020, etc. We were able to come up with a solution that has worked for quite a while now, but it took a lot of trial and error.
Reshaping The Financial Planning Landscape
Right now it is primarily the FP&A team that makes changes, and for revenue, for we have business operations partners that input their customer revenue forecast.
We previously were using Essbase to do all of our planning, but the CTS group operates quite differently compared to the rest of Comcast. Imagine operating a startup inside a cable box. Adaptive gives us the flexibility to make detailed changes to our business units and accounts quickly and have immediate reporting results. As opposed to keeping track of detailed Essbase strings, making changes and then waiting every two hours to make sure they were made correctly.
- Live Reporting - The ability to constantly see your change impacts, using the Audit Trail to identify the users making the change, and transaction details for actual significantly freed up valuable bandwidth to spend more time on forecast accuracy.
- Flexibility to change Business Structure and have those changes flow through historically without any effort. Used to have various Xref files everywhere.
- Corporate Consolidation - Being able to have multiple Organizations roll up into a group that is not managed by us. We still need to use export into Essbase for our HQ partners until Adaptive can fully integrate the two seamlessly.
- Web Reporting can be inflexible at times, especially when it comes to notes. Office Connect helps to fill that gap, but we would rather use web reporting when we can.
This results in way more value being added to our Partners. Gone are the days of breaking links and passing around multiple templates for input from the business, they know have live information right after it becomes available.
Traning fresh analysts in Adaptive is a much simpler process than going through old excel templates that constantly were changing for business needs. Not to mention if you make a change and want to compare to historical reporting you would need to go and update a file that nobody has touched in months/years.
Adaptive Insights increases efficiency and is easy to use
- Easy to import or export data
- The levels, dimensions and attributes allow us to slice data in many different ways
- Building reports in Adaptive is not intuitive to me as a user
- When exporting reports to Excel, you always have to reformat the report
Adaptive Insights - Great for Budgeting and Planning
- Dimensions and attributes that allow us to slice up data in many different views depending on what is needed
- Ease of importing and downloading data
- Sheets can be slow to load at times
- There is a relatively steep learning curve for formula syntax/logic (but this applies to most other software)
As it is almost a blank slate when you receive access to your instance, I highly recommend getting a consultant to help with your implementation or to have someone at your company who is adept with systems and has a background in finance.
A good tool for the experienced user.
- Adaptive Insights does a good job allowing the user to build in automatic calculations for forecasting. E.g. employee benefit cost by plan type chosen by employees.
- Another beneficial feature of adaptive is the office connect feature that allows financials to be populated directly into a board deck.
- It can be difficult to learn how to build the references needed to make sheets and versions connect.
- The service can be slow to load at times. Many times I'm just waiting on the data to refresh before I can update the next step.
Early user of Adaptive Insights
- Organized
- Many Features
- Efficient
- User interface is tricky
- Steep learning curve
- Freezes occasionally
Adaptive Insights: Effective and Efficient
- The reporting options within Office Connect are easy to work with as they are similar to working in Excel and Word. They have reduced the time it takes for us to prepare reports because we now have templates built and only need to refresh the data with a click of a button.
- The sheets are able to be customized to assist our department in budgeting and forecasting at a more meaningful level than we had before with spreadsheets.
- The support that Adaptive provides is top notch. If we are unable to find answers within the self help area, the email support personnel are able to efficiently and effectively assist with our issues.
- The reporting within Adaptive does not always print to excel in a nice format. Once exported manual formatting must take place to make the report look nice. This is why we choose to use Office Connect more than the reporting feature within Adaptive.
Adaptive Insights, Admin Review
- Reporting is very easy. You can build a report and very easily change the inputs to view the exact data you are looking for.
- Adaptive's API is quite simple as well. Going from Adaptive to a BI tool or a MySQL server is easy and everything flows quite well.
- Getting new users onboard is simple as well. It is quite easy to have one or two "experts" and everyone else can just do the data entry and inputs. You can get a lot of information inputted into Adaptive quickly and stored as your forecast evolves.
- We have had UI issues for Global team members. Adaptive is not customizable to support different date views and such.
- The formula syntax is hard to pick up. Once you get it, it's great but due to the difficulty, we only have two people able to create efficient and effective formulas.
- Deleting rows in Modeled sheets can be very inefficient. There is a very small range you are able to select and delete. When you have large rows of data, ie 20,000+, this becomes untenable.
Remarkable Planning Tool
- Version Control.
- Ad-hoc Matrix Reporting.
- Management of Custom Elements/Dimensions.
- OfficeConnect does not function like Excel in all aspects. Can be a little buggy.
- I would like to customize the view of the Levels and dimension field to show when the new attribute was added. Basically an audit trail.
The Real-Time data system for all organizations!
- The customer support services have been very quick and useful to all my pertinent questions relating to the development and issues associated with the sheets, formulas and any other question I may have.
- Many of the instructional guides and examples enabled me to ramp up quickly, learning the system. This not only benefited myself, but the team as a whole.
- The Torchbearer Community has been a wonderful resource. I have been able to explore similar questions other analysts have had, that I had, and examine how they resolved nuances or issues with their associated questions.
- It would be beneficial to me, as a user, if there was a library of documentation for every type of feature. This could be something regarding formula building, understanding how attributes work, with examples, or a location for basic and advance documentation on Sheet/Model/Cubes.
- I would like to have the ability to directly assign some dimensions to accounts easier. A drag and drop feature for that would be interesting. This has been a challenge for me when new dimensions are built and I am unable to assign them to new accounts.
- I would also like to see some more formulas or an easier way to do some basic tasks. For example a simple YTD function instead of running a simple, yet long string of texts for the formulas. Or the option for selecting YTD features, removing the need of the formula all together.
Adaptive Insights - Definitely a Winner ... Easy to Use, Efficiency Gained, and Errors Reduced
- The design of the planning sheets, flexible functioning of the assumptions/drivers, and familiar formula creation has great user appeal since it simulates the similarities with the Excel worksheet interface, so buy-in/ownership from a Finance group perspective is easily overcome even for those that have a bit of 'change-phobia'.
- The Finance group REALLY can run this CPM product. No IT support needed which is critical from a resource standpoint.
- User collaboration is made simple and easy with the Process Tracker functionality and further supported by offering users the ability to enter cell notes on planning items, sheet notes, line notes in analysis reporting, share reports via email, snapshot reports, and attach documents related to quotes for the planning process - just to name a few little hidden gems that serve us well in the planning process resulting in greater efficiencies.
- The Adaptive Learning Center provides a wealth of information for users in a how-to-do well-guided format with both written and video learning mediums. In addition, the involvement in the Torchbearers Community provides a community chat portal to pose questions and gain additional information on best practices from other Adaptive users of varying levels of expertise.
- Being rather new to the Adaptive product and our laser focus on capitalizing on the advantages we were severely lacking in our former budgeting tool, I don't have any solid examples of areas or room for improvement yet. As we continue to gain familiarity and begin our implementation of Phase 2 with our Program areas, I will be able to assess more in-depth whether Adaptive meets our needs fully as more individuals with varying capacities and capabilities will be involved in our Phase 2 roll out, so feedback will be plentiful.
Adaptive Insights improves planning and analysis process
Adaptive Insights has allowed us to complete more accurate and timely forecasts, consolidate our company's financials, and plan dynamically.
- Adaptive Insights provides excellent customer service. If a user has a question about the product, the employees at Adaptive are quick to respond and are very helpful.
- The team at Adaptive Insights listens to their customers and are always working to improve the software.
- N/A
A Great Budgeting Software for those on a Budget
- Adaptive Planning is very good at letting you create reports on the fly. We constantly create, modify and run reports to help analyze and find solutions.
- Although it took a while to setup, the Adaptive Connector makes it super easy to load all of the detailed financial information from SAP into our reporting system.
- Managing multiple versions of our budget and forecasts is quite easy with Adaptive Planning.
- We have had some customer service issues in the past but have worked through them with the Adaptive team.
- The compatibility with javascript has been an issue in the past and has caused some lost productivity, but I think this issue has been resolved with the latest release.
Adaptive Planning is great! Very easy to use!
- Does active planning really well
- Efficient
- Ease of use
- Better integration with Excel
- Formula builder
- Comparing versions
Adaptive Insights Drives Finance Team Efficiency!
- Clean and approachable user interface
- Easy to build models, similar to Excel
- Frequent updates to the product
- Charting
- Low maintenance overhead
- Security
- More robust/better Excel integration
- Speed
- More custom branding to fit your company
- Consolidation.
- Detailed modeling.
- Integration with accounting systems like NetSuite.
- Permissions for users by the account in addition to the level. The use case being letting a financial analyst see the headcount sheet with the comp for the organizations he or she supports, but not for the finance and accounting departments to hide the salaries of other team members from them.
- Currently, the View Dependencies feature does not seem to work very well, so you really can't see all the places a certain account is showing up in your model. It would be nice to have greater visibility to see where each account is used in the model so that you know how changing that account will change your model.
- The Account Code in Reports is different than the actual account codes, so it is hard to know what account is actually being used in the report.
Great software, great pros, and not significant cons
- They have a really good Excel tool where you can pull and push data.
- It does really well at being adaptive and letting you change things.
- I really like the user interface.
- I don't love the dashboarding that it has. I feel it's trying to compete with other solutions and doesn't do that well.
- Sometimes it can be slow.
- It costs a lot per user.
Great product, easy to use!
- Audit history of what has been changed is huge
- Being able to have different versions to run scenario analysis
- Ability to easily load and download data easily
- Being able to set user defaults on specific pages like different filters so it is the same every time the page is pulled up, it seems like right now the default is the same across all users.
Adaptive Insights -- a great solution for planning
- It helps to produce a consolidated budget very quickly.
- Good built-in audit trails.
- Good reporting for variance analysis.
- The software allows you to plan at a very granular level, but the reporting at a granular level between plan, actuals, and other versions can be challenging.
- Annual Planning.
- Forecasting.
- Scenario Planning.
The user interface is essentially a spreadsheet in the cloud, so there is not much of a learning curve to get business users started. While it feels like a spreadsheet, it's much more powerful, as it provides a real-time consolidated roll-up and built-in audit trail.
It just keeps getting better!
- Ease of navigation
- Friendly and helpful support
- Tools for every problem that needs to be solved!
- Out of the box worksheets would be nice.
- There have been some recent issues with log out when tabs are duplicated and that has been frustrating.
- Modeled Sheets are great.
- Their formulas are easy to use and questions are easily answered when/if they arise.
- The reporting capabilities are very nice.
- Integration with our ERP and other cloud services has been great.
- Our biggest gripe has to do with the speed. Sometimes pages can take a long time to load, but those long load times are minuscule compared to the ones we had before.
- The View Dependencies feature does not work and it would be extremely helpful.
- Accounts used in reports acquire a unique code within the report and fail to show the unique code of the account in your instance. This can make it hard to identify which account you are actually using in large reports with similar accounts.
- Adaptive Office connect allows us to integrate data directly into Excel allowing us to quickly update reports and analysis.
- Being able to consolidate data quickly across multiple regions helps us to quickly turn around reports and analysis.
- Adaptive allows us to upload custom data for analysis purposes, helping us during budget season to compare previous versions to the latest.
- I would love to see more products from Adaptive that could help take us to the next level.
Insights you can Adapt
- Provides a one-stop space for the entire organization to view data & reports.
- Provides a one-stop space for the entire organization to enter their own unique data.
- Provides a one-stop space for the entire organization to handle received tasks.
- Like any software understanding formula & formula language.
Time Saving
Prior to Adaptive, the organization used complex Excel spreadsheets for over 90 departments. Adaptive has taken these complex spreadsheets and incorporated them into the set up and incorporates all of the standards and assumptions, so that the end user only has to input their information one time and everything flows through to the correct budget sheets for analysis.
- Adaptive's reporting function is an excellent tool for analysis. It can be used for budget formulation through monthly reporting analysis.
- Adaptive makes it easy to get down to the most minute level of detail in order to quickly give analysis on the budget, through its modeled sheets, and cube sheets.
- I don't see any weaknesses from the software, other than it not having the flexibility to make changes to other versions of budgets without affecting previous versions.
