Great tool for scalable enterprise planning
Reviewed on Feb 02, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the platform and its calculation engine are the biggest strengths. Anaplan allows you to model complex business logic in a transparent, scalable way without relying on traditional code, which makes it easier to iterate quickly as requirements change.
I also really value the dimensional modeling approach and the ability to connect planning across multiple functions in a single platform. From a model builder perspective, the ecosystem (UX, ALM, integrations, community, and enablement resources) makes it easier to maintain governance.

Highly Flexible, Steep Learning Curve
Reviewed on Jan 27, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Anaplan is a cloud-based hyper platform that is primarily used to connect enterprise-wide planning across finance, sales, HR, and supply chain. It solves the issue of disconnected planning by unifying finance and sales which I find really helpful. I appreciate the ability to align high-level strategic planning with detailed operational planning, which allows for flexible modeling users can utilize for a repository for master data and planning. I find balancing data with security to ensure scalability is beneficial. I also use it with ETL tools and BI tools, which works well for my needs. The initial setup was highly flexible, albeit with a high learning curve. I would definitely recommend Anaplan to a friend or colleague as I would rate it a 10 out of 10.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find issues with insufficient model design and poor maintenance of browser network. There's also a need to restart my machine and re-authenticate into Anaplan, which can be frustrating. Balancing data with security to ensure scalability also seems to be a challenge. Additionally, while Anaplan is highly flexible, there's a high learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan solves disconnected planning by unifying finance and sales, aligning high-level strategic and detailed operational planning, and offering flexible modeling for master data and planning.
