The price of the licenses. We have a lot of difficulty approving the acquisition of additional licenses because the price is very high, and as a result, we cannot expand the use much throughout the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about IBM Planning Analytics is the flexibility of the tool.
