What do you like best about Anaplan?

As a long-time implementation partner of Anaplan, I can definitely vouch for its native cloud system where it is built for ease of implementing building of models as well as intuitive and collaborative UX features which make business users understand and use Anaplan efficiently. Latest features like workflow and ADO have been incorporated which allows data management and loading in-house leading to greater data quality loaded into models and also managing tasks like approvals and automation easily. Vast customer support portal and community wherein there are new ideas as well as readily available solutions. Integration to and from Anaplan for database and well as BI tools and also custom integrations possible using API. Excellent safety and security features to ensure role as well as granular access for users can be managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anaplan?

In the initial phase, it can be a bit tricky to get around, especially for users with new/limited experience. Essentially a planning tool, not a data and BI tool completely, so for BI features, you need to link to external tools for rich reports and charts, although the new UX provides great options. Bulk adding of users in a workspace is not possible. Lesser use of AI features for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anaplan solving and how is that benefiting you?

FP&A - inherently an EPM tool meant for financial planning and analysis, there are a variety of features to manage financial planning like versions for scenario management, time-based functions to calculate forecast plans based on actuals. Seamless integration to load organizational data and feature of having a hub so that across different use cases the right type of data is pushed and data is managed at one place centrally. User experience - With languid features of new UX, business users can easily use Anaplan in order of the way they can and also perform features like exporting the grids as PDFs and inputting data which immediately edits in the backend and recalculates all logic simultaneously leading to real-time planning.
