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. ----- ### "Ease of front end unser interface" — 5.0/5 > **Anna** | *30 January 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like working with the front and back end interface. The sheets are intuitive and the formula / syntax building is also easy to understand. More importantly, I enjoy the traceability of a questionable value to the source model. I can easily troubleshoot when something looks off. > > **Cons**: There is size / capacity limitation for each version. So during the build , one has to ensure that the formulas are written to optimize performance. > > In a nutshell, it saves alot of time, its easy to use and the flexiblity it allows make for more efficient model building. ----- ### "Flexible Accounting platform" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 January 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Use it for accounting purposes both domestic and imports in our retail company. It is more intuitive and flexible to configure compared to our previous software PeopleSoft. > > **Cons**: It's proprietary so integrating into our internal tools is challenging. ----- 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
