Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Adaptive Discovery to track and analyze financial data (actuals vs. budget) each month.

Pros and Cons

The ability to create/customize dashboards.
The ability to manipulate dials.
The ability to customize reports to view/compare data.

There was a big learning curve for me at the beginning, and I feel I am pretty tech savvy. Making navigation easier/more intuitive would be helpful.

The only other product I have used to compare data/financials has been Microsoft Excel. While Excel is a robust application that can compare data and integrate graphs, it does not easily pull in data from our database. Adaptive Discovery already houses our data (cuts out the entry step) and has additional features Excel does not.

Data Integration

The data updates in real-time (refreshes).

Collaboration and Sharing

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.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Exchange, Articulate Storyline, OneNote

Likelihood to Recommend

Adaptive Discovery is a great solution any time data needs to be pulled and compared without having to hunt in multiple locations.
