Usability

I think building some of the HTML reports can be confusing. Maybe this is because I haven't done one for myself or maybe because I haven't been trained on it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Every department in the organization uses Adaptive Insights. Most of the users do budgeting and reviewing of actuals in Adaptive. It allows us to transmit the financials to each specific person without having to send individualized monthly reports.

Pros and Cons

Reporting
Budgeting

I think learning how to build the reports is the drawback. I currently don't do that for myself.

Return on Investment

I think Adaptive has had a positive impact on our organization's budgeting process
Adaptive has helped during the financial review process because more users are getting the data faster and going through their numbers quicker.

Reporting

Adaptive is a total upgrade over our previous reporting methods. It is more accurate, faster, and allows the users to get the data when they need instead of having to request the data being sent via email.

Role Impact

It allowed me to cut our review time down by 1/3.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have only just started using Adaptive. This is something that we are going to be using more features as time goes on. I use it to review the actuals to budget during month end close. The reporting we were able to build in the system has helped speed our review process up.
