Connect all your data sources to Drivetrain in days, not months
Drivetrain’s 200+ pre-built connectors along with an expert in-house implementation team ensures that all your data is available on the platform within a few days.
Workday Adaptive Planning doesn't even come close. With limited integrations and a highly technical implementation that relies on external (and expensive) consultants, getting up and running on the platform can take 6-12 months.
With consultants involved, you also have to worry about the quality of the implementation, which depends on their knowledge and understanding of your industry and business model.
Create powerful metrics and models yourself in minutes
On Drivetrain you can use plain English and your existing knowledge of Excel to create custom metrics and forecast formulas. Most Drivetrain customers start building models within a few days of going live.
Users of Workday Adaptive Planning require thorough training and expertise to be able to use the platform. Users report on Capterra that “It's hard to use, understand, navigate, and figure out what is going on.”
Update plans and forecasts quickly to respond to changing circumstances
Drivetrain’s simple and intuitive UI/UX ensures that you can easily update and play with forecast assumptions to respond to changing business needs. You can create various scenarios and versions in minutes to identify the best path forward for your business.
With Adaptive, making modification to existing models is incredibly hard, and errors are difficult to troubleshoot without the help of consultants. Adaptive users report that the platform can be inflexible for dynamic, growing businesses, recommending it only for large businesses with very stable operations.
