Overall Satisfaction with Workday Adaptive Planning
Currently, Adaptive is used by our entire finance department. In the past, we did all of our budgeting and forecasting in excel. Adaptive has removed the headaches we used to experience and seamlessly brought everything together in a way that facilitates cooperation and communication. The dynamic nature of adaptive makes it a very collaborative experience and it does a wonderful job at satisfying all of our forecasting, budgeting, and reporting needs. Furthermore, Adaptive integrates very well with Domo enabling us to create beautiful visualizations across versions that make storytelling to executives a true delight from the finance end.
- Modeled Sheets are great.
- Their formulas are easy to use and questions are easily answered when/if they arise.
- The reporting capabilities are very nice.
- Integration with our ERP and other cloud services has been great.
- Our biggest gripe has to do with the speed. Sometimes pages can take a long time to load, but those long load times are minuscule compared to the ones we had before.
- The View Dependencies feature does not work and it would be extremely helpful.
- Accounts used in reports acquire a unique code within the report and fail to show the unique code of the account in your instance. This can make it hard to identify which account you are actually using in large reports with similar accounts.
- Adaptive saves us hundreds if not thousands of hours per year. This increase in efficiency results in cost savings north of $100k.
- It has transformed the way we collaborate within the organization and increased morale within the finance team.
- With Adaptive, we have truly become a dynamic, active planning finance department.
I am not as well informed on the competition to Adaptive; however, many financial experts that I have talked to within the industry rave about the software. A few team members of mine recently left to work for different companies and have complained to us that the software at their new positions is miles behind Adaptive. The ease of the use and capability Adaptive possesses really distinguishes it from the competition.
