IBP has a significant learning curve, and the configuration can feel overly technical for a cloud planning solution. Performance drops can occur when working with large planning areas or complex calculations. Although the Excel add-in is powerful, it occasionally feels slow or unstable, which impacts productivity. Integrations outside SAP require additional effort, and some features feel less mature compared to specialized planning tools. License costs add up quickly, and you need experienced consultants to get the full value, which raises implementation complexity and total cost of ownership.
