Why Choose Datarails over Workday Adaptive Planning?
Workday Adaptive Planning (formerly Adaptive Insights) is an FP&A solution for large businesses and enterprises. Although Adaptive Planning provides value for their enterprise customer base, Datarails is far more valuable for small and medium sized businesses.
Datarails has an Excel based platform with a much easier learning curve, better value for money, and AI chatbot capabilities. Datarails’ customers see a much quicker ROI and are able to keep their own Excel environment while having flexible and customizable dashboards for maximizing data analysis.
