What do you like best?
It is easily accessable, users like it.
What do you like least/what could be improved?
Far too expensive.
What key advice would you give to other companies looking to introduce/use the product?
Make sure you look in the market as there are lots of products out there.
How would you sum up your experience?
Think it is a very powerful tool with lots of functionality, but unless you use the full range of functions, it is very expensive. Think about how Adaptive is going to work with your ERP/FMS.

What do you like best?
The high flexibility to adjust/ implement new functionalities and logics on your own. As a product (Adaptive) and process owner (Personnel planning and budgeting) of Adaptive, I am able to evolve the tool and integrate everything on my own without the need for external developers.
What do you like least/what could be improved?
The performance on working sheets with a high amount of logics in place can take a hit. Reporting is limited in some aspects.
What key advice would you give to other companies looking to introduce/use the product?
Specifying the use/ business case/ process in the highest detail and as aligned as possible before working on the company-specific setup with the implementing consultant to avoid constant requirement changes during the setup phase. (This should be a given naturally!). By having an Adaptive expert in the company who can bring the tool and accompanying processes forward, it is possible to react quickly to new demands of stakeholders and be independant of external consulting knowledge and support.
How would you sum up your experience?
It's a very user-friendly tool and easy to use, for the single end user as well as for the admin to maintain, while providing flexibility and up-to-date functionalities for all planning purposes.

What do you like best?
The robustness of the application and our satisfaction with the product overall is increasing as we get to understand it more.
What do you like least/what could be improved?
The current setup does not lend itself to scenario/ what-if analysis easily.
What key advice would you give to other companies looking to introduce/use the product?
Give adequate time before implementation to establish what you want from the system.
How would you sum up your experience?
Good … and getting better.

What do you like best?
Its flexibility and drag-drop no-code functionality.
What do you like least/what could be improved?
It needs better integration back into Workday itself - also, more clarity around its use with office connect.
What key advice would you give to other companies looking to introduce/use the product?
It is a separate product and project, so don't try to implement it at the same time as Workday itself.
How would you sum up your experience?
Good system with positive feedback from users.
