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

"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"Provides ability for business users to directly manage their plans, data, and budgets."
"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."
"Our organization is able to use Adaptive to complete a major majority of our monthly management and quarterly Board reports, and by refreshing reports and pages automatically, it creates the monthly report package with little to no manual staff work."
"Reduced planning and budgeting time - it takes hardly a couple of days to complete my entire budgeting exercise, uploading actual data and generating monthly reports with comparison of actual versus budgets in no time."
"This solution transformed the way both of my companies did reporting."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"The work boards are a great way to provide the management a clear, concise, one source of truth and progress of business in one snapshot."
"A very good self service BI tool Allows connecting multiple data sources"
"Due to Panorama Necto, everything becomes centralized now, so anyone can easily access their reports from a central repository."
"Panorama Necto provides a governed and guided data discovery platform, with auto-generated dashboards as a very good starting point for data discovery, simple and vibrant infographics that can be customized to a cell level, a handy collaborating feature to initiate discussions with relevant users, and good performance."
"ROI is excellent, e.g. dashboard sharing, scheduling of reports, and predictive analytics are some of the most striking returns we got in our data warehouse."
"Very powerful tool which supports almost all data sources automatically."
"It has nice social features which can give context based discussions, search for users and relevant content within the system."
"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."
 

Cons

"Better user interface (UI)."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"We do have issues getting information on our customer success turnover."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau."
"Needing to focus on upgrades for all industries, including CPG."
"Second thing is the limited support for big data analytics, this again is not very critical at the moment but it is a good to have functionality, and soon once the user are familiar with the basic analysis they will start looking for option like big data analytics, etc."
"Dashboard should be somewhat easy to use."
"The user console is bit complicated when beginning to work with it."
"Training, tutorial and awareness."
"Scheduling and publishing is a bit complex task."
"Administration is an area where it needs improvement as a huge set of scripts are required."
"I don't think it would support data analytics if the data set is really very big."
"Missing support services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's affordable."
"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 reasonable."
"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
"Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
"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."
"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."
"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
