I like how the system puts together forms very professional and instantly. > > **Cons**: There is nothing I don't like about it. Maybe they can add some tutorial videos on how to locate things one might have a hard time finding. > > I love work day and since a lot of businesses use it, I have gotten a lot of experience using it, which has been a benefit for me. ----- ### "Finance Manager" — 4.0/5 > **Emily** | *5 November 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We can turn around our financial results so much faster than we previously could, and then use those values to project out a rolling forecast easily once the initial formulas are set up. It's nearly automatic now. > > **Cons**: A little bit of inflexibility with some of the reporting features (Vol, Rate analysis not possible outside downloading to Excel and QTD values not easily pulled without backend edits to saved reports). > > I am a big fan of Adaptive - I have implemented it in two different companies now and have seen the results first hand, seeing before-and-after financial process impacts. ----- ### "I love using Adaptive compared to the other systems I've used" — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *9 February 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how it is easy to use and that they thought of the things that we really need to do our job. It looks good and works. > > **Cons**: They have an excel add in you can use and I love it. I allows you to use excel to pull data from the system and make your own reports. However, there are sometimes glitches so that's annoying. > > It is a great system and the company is putting a lot of work into the product. ----- ### "Adaptive has fallen behind in the FP\&A software race" — 3.0/5 > **Pat** | *28 April 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has all of the key integrations making the data reliable and in sync with major accounting systems > > **Cons**: The product has not developed after being acquired by Workday. It is stale and other platforms have much better functionality and are easy to use. > > I did not have a good experience with Adaptive and chose to replace it with another systems due to lack of enhancements, difficult close process, and lack of clean dashboards ----- ### "A Powerful and Unparalleled Financial Planning Solution." — 5.0/5 > **Nancy** | *28 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Workday Adaptive Planning is a reliable tool that automate and streamline the process of financial planning, budgeting and forecasting. Again, this tool offers powerful financial reporting and analytics features. > > **Cons**: Ever since I started working with Workday Adaptive Planning, the process of financial planning has been smooth and effective thus leaving me with nothing to dislike about it. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/439417/workday-adaptive-planning?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/439417/workday-adaptive-planning) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
