Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

I enjoy using Adaptive and the benefits of Adaptive are becoming more and more visible. Adaptive, in a way, has brought the company under one umbrella, especially when it comes to uniting different departments under one strategy. There is more that Adaptive can do and we as a company are only scrapping the top. There are more areas in which Adaptive can be beneficial.

At this point we have set up our reporting to integrate with Adaptive. We have spent some non-recurring money to set up and populate the system. Switching at this point would only be an option if we were unhappy with the decision. This might seem like I am side-stepping the issue but I think an important point is being made. Whatever system you decide to go with, changing later is costly and unproductive. We chose Adaptive and have absolutely no regrets. We are currently at a crossroads here at Teachscape and are looking at several different potential options. If we were still relying on a 20 to 40 sheet Excel workbook with thousands of links and formulas, I don't think I would be able to sleep at night. Adaptive gives me a greater level of comfort.

We just recently renewed our contract and I wouldn't hesitate to renew again. First, Adaptive as a company has a great customer-first attitude and they're great to work with. Their customer service team is fantastic. Second, they are constantly trying to improve the product and make it better, but not losing sight of what we really need. Also, the longer you use the product the more it is filled with priceless data all in one spot with instant access to report on and dig into.

I do not have the final say as to whether or not we should renew with Adaptive. If I did have the final say I would definitely move forward with Adaptive. I will make my recommendation to continue working with Adaptive and to also continue to get more employees using the program.

Adaptive's support team is top-notch. They are very responsive, and they help keep the train moving when something comes up. Aside from what Ive already mentioned, I find this product to be very intuitive and fun to use.

Adaptive has demonstrated their commitment to creating, maintaining, and developing an outstanding product and they have demonstrated to me that they truly care what their customers need and want from the system. They want all users to be successful and this shows in the way they manage their clients and the way they develop the software. I will implement Adaptive at any future organization that I work with and I know several other Finance Directors who have done the same!

I would renew Adaptive if we were only using it for budgeting and planning. I believe it has a lot of ground to make up in the reporting and SQL based query writing that other programs have standard in their product. I believe if Adaptive boosted this part of their program their customer service would blow the other competitors out of the water.

There is nothing else out there that even comes close. I think of what the perfect solution is for planning, consolidations, reporting and analysis and Adaptive is already there. Nobody else is even in the same ball park. The support staff is the greatest. They respond very rapidly with the same level of concern that we as customers show.

We really love the product and they are constantly making improvements. Also, since it can be easily downloaded it can be used by Excel users without budgeting expertise.

Compared to other products in the budgeting/planning software industry, Adaptive is the easiest to use with the most robust features, and as a SaaS and cloud-based offering, new features are added with each upgrade.
