"Anaplan Excels at Connected Planning and Complex Forecasting Across Countries"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Anaplan?

Connected planning is where Anaplan truly shines. We've built a centralized courier demand planning model that acts as a single starting point for recruitment targets, operational planning, equipment planning, and top-down financial target comparisons. The calculation engine handles complex driver-based forecasting across multiple countries in one model. ALM with structures DEV-to-PROD deployment and data archives with cloudwork integrations gives us a disciplined, auditable cycle. After nearly 10 years on the platform, I'm still a genuine believer in what it can do for enterprise performance management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anaplan?

Scenario modelling UX is the biggest gap - planners still can't fluidly compare alternative demand or supply assumptions without custom NUX page engineering. Performance under heavy multi-dimensional load is inconsistent; optimization requires deep expertise. Native reporting for downstream workstreams requires significant manual effort. There's also no automated architecture documentation, which concentrates knowledge in a small team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We run a monthly tactical planning cycle forecasting courier supply and demand across 6 active countries. Recruitment target and equipment demand is derived directly from courier demand within the same model, ensuring consistency between planning domains. The model also serves as a top-down target comparison against budget and financial objectives, giving finance and operations a shared source of truth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
