What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is a great tool for multiple types of use cases. I think ALM is a really great aspect of Anaplan. I found it was instrumental in a particularly complex use case. Fluence has also been a great addition to the platform and has a lot of potential to add value to clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
How the standard model deals with sparsity can be particularly difficult for performance in complex models.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's solving standardization within an organization. Its an easy tool for business users to use. And with a COE it enables an org to build so much more.

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan allows the "business" to own the toold rather than IT. This allows areas like finance and sales to make changes and updates to the logic without having to wait for IT to make the changes. Plus, the changes are easy becasue the "logic" is behaves in the same way as other programs used by the business. Anaplan also allows the business to design the tool to cater to the specific needs of the business such as terminoly and allowing for unique processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are quite a few ways to connect data to Anaplan, but not always a direct connection. However, Anaplan is constantly evolving as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan can be used as a tool to centralize many processes. Each department within a business can create a process in Anaplan that fits their specific needs while also being able to aggregate the results into a summary level (such as corporate planning) all within the same tool with real live connectivity.

What do you like best about the product?
The modular structure - allowing for different dimensions to be used in different areas of the model which can enhance user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The modular structure significantly limits the reporting. Customers coming off of Hyperion with the smartview add-in struggle replicating the adhoc reporting capability ie using essbase datamodel and smartviews drag and drop pulls. There needs to be a option with fluence where customers can get a data model and not pay extra.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has significantly helped customers modernize their planning process - move off of inefficient and complex excel models

What do you like best about the product?
The user experience and confidence in the data management and planning capabilities of the tool highlight the most important features of Anaplan. Anaplan is a trusted tool in the EPM space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan's innovation has not kept up to pace with other tools in the market, and the drawbacks of the tool like sparsity and toaster for model builders are no longer acceptable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan takes away the multiple spreadsheets and gets everyone in a tool to create a connected planning environment. Realistically, the tool functions to move everyone out of excel. On top of that, there are some quality user experience elements that enhance the planning process and make things like driver based planning more attainable for smaller FP&A functions.

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is an easy-to-use SaaS platform with global coverage. Over the last 10 years, they have adopted the best-in-class funcitonalities on their platform to rival other big players in the EPM space such as Oracle, SAP and TM1. It is used for enterprise wide planning and improving collaboration among various teams within an organisation from finance to sales, HR, marketing, tax, operations and treasury to name a few. The platform uses simple drag and drop functionality along with excel-like scripting to build models and front-end pages, resulting in quicker adoption times for both end-users and new model builders and making implementation a breeze. The Anaplan REST API can be leveraged to connect the system to other existing ERPs and master data source system to ensure integrity of data across an enterprise.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Anaplan has recently produced some exceptional functionalities like geo-mapping and workflow, and has a strong roadmap with GenAI coming into the picture soon, a lot of these capabilities (such as Workflow, or the new Polaris engine) come at an additional cost to customers. A lot of times customers are discouraged from using these features due to the additional price tag. This prevents consultants and partners like us from leveraging the full power of Anaplan to implement for the customer. However, the minimum/basic features that come with an enterprise licence are sufficient for a great start to the Anaplan journey.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan solves a wide array of problems including but not limited to: better data integrity, improved collaboration, scenario planning, faster forecasting cycles. Even though we are a partner/consultant, we also use Anaplan internally for sales perfomance management, financial budgeting/forecasting and workforce planning. Adopting Anaplan has made the before-mentioned processes significantly faster and more reliable. I have also implemented supply-chain use cases for customers, which have resulted in better communication with their suppliers, reduced cost through optimised inventory and better collaboration across the enterprise.
