This is one of the best features as personnel in different areas at different sites can work together on the budget, forecast or "what-if" models.

Perfect for moving off Excel and into big-boy budgeting

The access control is great within the Adaptive Suite. We have been able to set up controls for the exact needs of different users. Rolling data up to an exec owner had to be done at a reporting level and not at a summary level while working in the system due to multiple currencies, but that is just a function of our needs. Reporting is easy and accessible to all.

With workflow I am able to track progress on budget and forecast projects in a timely manner. There is also an organiser to track and assign tasks to users. Security is very flexible.

Great Data with Discovery

I did not know this feature existed honestly. I would like to use this. Currently, everyone on staff has to view things separately (on own logins). We tell each other where to go.

Adaptive Insights - My thoughts after a year of use.

I am impressed by the security and the ease of sharing data accross teams. Using another planning tool that claims to be much more robust (Hyperion) I found the scecurity, control and user access easier to use than what I have experienced with other tools. If I need to add a new user it is quick and easy.
