Connected planning
What do you like best about the product?
The more uses cases you have in Anaplan the more valueable it´ll be. More departments, more markets etc
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan have taken some shortcuts when it´s comes to expected featuers in the back end that would help the experience. It would for example be very helpful to know if a module or filter is being used on a dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I´m a consultant implementing the solution me client needs. The best solutions have been in rolling forecast, workforce management have been a bit more tricky but frankly also because it rarely is an area where the client knows what they want
Scalable enterprise planning system

Scalability and flexibility to support multiple use cases, ability to link models and data to create integrated solutions. Tool is easy to use for finance professionals with a reasonable technical background.

Cube structure does not handle scalability across a large number of concurrent dimensions without increasing cost substantially. Initial implementation requires skilled expertise.

The best aspect of Anaplan is its flexibility and scalability, allowing us to customize models to fit our specific business needs seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Anaplan is a powerful tool, its initial setup and learning curve can be quite steep, requiring significant time and resources to fully leverage its capabilities.

The platform's robust modeling capabilities enhance our ability to perform complex scenario planning and forecasting. Anaplan's collaborative features improve team communication and productivity.

Flexible Platform that Provides Enough Standardization
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan provides business teams with a flexible platform in which they are able to easily model new use cases and add enhancements to existing models. The platform adds the additional benefit of standardization across the models which ensures ease of maintenance and cuts down on admin work for teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Modeling needs to be thoughtful from the start of implementation of new models as workspace can become an issue if model builders don't think through design and sparsity before they execute.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan allows our users to take advantage of standardization across different models which greatly reduces the time they spend managing updates to spreadsheets and refocus on actual planning and analysis.
Anaplan- New way to Plan
What do you like best about the product?
What sets it parat is the ease of implementation. The platform offers extensive customization options for models to meet specific needs of the organization, and integrating business logic is simple and efficient. This not only improves the user experience but also makes model maintenance easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The New UX has certainly enhanced dashboarding experience compared to classic dashboards, but it still lags behind some of the more advanced platforms available today. Another thing that i dislike about Anaplan is when many users are running processes simultaneously, model may slow down.A naplan executes one action at a time and places next in a queue, which can create delays, especially if scheduled imports are happening at the same time. During imports the model becomes inaccessible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan is addressing key operational challenges by significantly reducing the time spent on account tiering and assigning account ownership. This streamlined process enables faster decision-making and greater efficiency. Additionally, Anaplan has optimized the way we assign quotas to sales reps, ensuring a more accurate andefficient distribution of teh targets. These improvements not only save time but also enhance overall productivity, allowing the team to focus more on strategic initiatives rather than manual tasks

Impossibility to choose between Polaris vs Classic engine ahead of the implementation (as a result of an analysis of the data)
Impossibility to choose between Polaris vs Classic engine ahead of the implementation (as a result of an analysis of the data)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It can solve really detailed and complex solutions (eg: production scheduling thanks to its optimiser) or multi-variable statistical forecast (thanks to ML) and also, can connect the whole process, from Actual Data ingestion and analytics, to demand forecast (statistical, sales-driven, consensus...) to Inventory Planning and Optimisation, Production and MRP throguh multivel BOM. So, in short: can be detailed and go in depth at each step of the process, and can also connect all the steps creating a integrated and seamless solution with all kind of reports, alerts and data visualisation.
Anaplan: Scalable and flexible - best for non-standard use cases
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan's flexibility is the best thing about it. This is particularly helpful in use cases that are not stnadard and can't be catered to via your typical out of the box technology solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan has a high cost to it, particularly around licensing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan is helping us centralize a historically disjointed planning process. This has allowed us to gain process efficiencies and pull in the reigns on a process that has long been difficult to manage. Not only has this brought detailed refinement, but it also has saved countless hours within our process.
