It's expensive for a nonprofit organization and because we have so many chapters, I need a lot of unique logins. I am limited in some things I can do because I can't afford to have multiple users in a chapter

Adaptive Planning has been a great tool for our organization and we now have department heads who are also very comfortable with the system. This allows our budget to be maintained and updated regularly by all those involved and makes reporting to the board a whiz.

For one we're in way too deep to not move forward with Adaptive. We're integrated with Workday, we do a ton of reporting with Adaptive, and it's working very well for planning and forecasting. No reason to look back or change course.

Solid and intuitive planning solution

Great product. Easy to understand for new joiners. Frequent product improvements with quarterly release updates.

System is sometimes a bit slow. Integration with Workday HRIS doesn't exist (or has not been shown to me). Dashboarding/Reporting section in the Adaptive Browser is not good. Audit trail for admin changes and a report that would show all recent budget changes that had an impact on (for example) AEBITDA would be great too. With so many users on the system we often see AEBITDA change during budgeting so then we need to ask around to understand who made changes. Audit Trail is only valuable when you already know which input was changed.

Effective in cost and use but not a panacea

I am not sure that we are using the service as robustly as possible, and given other services we already pay for, we may need to review which services are best to keep and which can be rationalized for consolidated spend. This is not a reflection of Work Day so much, in as much as it might be that our organization may not be utilizing the software as well as it can or should be.
