Adaptive Planning Manager at Alight
Adaptive scales well, simple to create new budget versions and models
For the organization I used to work at, it streamlined the process of creating budgets. It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday. So that made it easy. Reporting was pretty easy to set up as well. It streamlined the amount of time it took to do the budget as well as kind of making it simple to implement a rolling forecast process. So, it really was more just a productivity increase and time shortening for the budgeting and forecasting process.

The infographics feature is unique to Necto. However, they need better tutorials and community support.
The best feature I liked is the infographics which is great and it's best unique feature. It helps developers use existing infographics from the library or they can create their own and present to end users It's quite easy to create reports in Necto using the infographics feature. Collaboration…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"Provides ability for business users to directly manage their plans, data, and budgets."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"We have gone from an organization that looked backwards at financials and had a one-time annual budget to an organization that looks forward, has rolling forecasts, long-term planning, metrics, and push button reporting."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"Adaptive saves us huge hours in budgeting, for each roll-up it saves us two hours at least, and we usually have more than 20 roll-ups."
"Amazing business intelligence tool with rich info graphics, it is one of the excellent self service BI tools with impeccable collaboration features."
"Infographics are totally cool."
"It has smart computing abilities to deliver some of the complex analytical requirements such as what-if analysis, pinpointing the actual issues and side by side comparison of business factors."
"I highly recommend this tool for any business that wishes for quicker and qualitative analysis of their data."
"This is the next generation BI tool, which will be very helpful to small and medium businesses to kick start data exploration and visualization on their diverse databases, with lesser intervention of IT."
"Necto is the first BI tool with infographics which is a great and unique feature."
"A very good self service BI tool Allows connecting multiple data sources"
"The major strengths of this product are social business intelligence, insights and intuitive self-service."
 

Cons

"We do have issues getting information on our customer success turnover."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"Needing to focus on upgrades for all industries, including CPG."
"Support for multiple languages is still under review and yet to be implemented."
"I feel scheduling is not that simple."
"The user console is bit complicated when beginning to work with it."
"Compatibility with Mac OS and Blackberry platforms."
"Limited support for big data analytics, limited awareness and distant learning like online courses."
"Administration is an area where it needs improvement as a huge set of scripts are required."
"It becomes a big deal if the data to be handled is very large."
"Need improve on handling big data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable."
"Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
"Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
"Adaptive Insights' pricing is relative to its peer competitors. It's certainly competitive compared to a spreadsheet template that you build in Excel. It can be expensive if you need to have 100-500 budget holders giving input and building financial plans. However, in that case, it becomes an extremely good bargain. Compared to its competitors, it offers an excellent value."
"Pricing is in line with other cloud-based EPM tools. It is a subscription-based model based upon the number of users and site type if it's an admin or end-user type thing."
"Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
