Balanced planning tools have supported detailed calculations and clear summary reporting
Reviewed on Dec 19, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
IBM Planning Analytics is better for large data manipulation, whereas Anaplan excels in the presentation side and ease of use. My group company uses Anaplan for summarizing clean data, while the UK region company uses Planning Analytics for detailed calculations and speed.
I develop in both Anaplan and IBM Planning Analytics , so I know both very well. I try to find ways to compare them for various purposes and explain their slightly different use cases based on the tools' capabilities.
What is most valuable?
Anaplan's focus on APIs helps streamline data consolidation, while IBM Planning Analytics offers stronger capabilities in base-level data and detailed calculations.
Anaplan is excellent for summarizing clean data and is easier to use for reporting and security, while Planning Analytics is better for data cleansing and low-level data manipulation. The ease of developing individual models in Anaplan is notable, allowing users to handle it with minimal complication.
What needs improvement?
Anaplan's problem is that it has its own niche market. It cannot perform some tasks handled by Planning Analytics due to their different foundations, Anaplan on Hyperblock technology and TM1 on OLAP.
Anaplan lacks a native ETL tool, making it challenging to integrate numerous flat files. Its licensing model could also be changed, and integration with other solutions simplified.
The report on Anaplan and Planning Analytics could have been more detailed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with Planning Analytics for years.
How are customer service and support?
I do not use technical support much because I write code, run servers, and handle technical aspects myself, minimizing reliance on external customer service.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Planning Analytics and Anaplan have unique selling points despite being marketed in the same area. They are not the same tool, each catering to different needs. It is important to choose based on specific user requirements and end goals.
Anaplan has a different pricing methodology compared to Planning Analytics, with a more consolidated approach. This difference might guide a company's decision to switch tools if cost structure is a concern.
What other advice do I have?
I do not view it in a commercial competition way; it is more about which tool is best for my specific data needs.
I am still exploring what features could be suggested for improvement since Anaplan and IBM Planning Analytics serve different purposes in our applications.
I have colleagues who are Anaplan salespeople and marketers, driving its adoption across different companies.
Anaplan is marketed strongly, and many cannot see the distinction without understanding the backend and coding structures.
I would rate this review a nine out of ten.

Effortless to Use, Lightning-Fast Implementation and Integration
Reviewed on Dec 14, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I would say the best about Anaplan is that it's easy to use and to learn. It's also really fast to implement new functionnalities, thanks this easiness and also the way of handling a project with the Agile methodology.
What is also good is the speed of the calculations with large data I would say, if the model has been well developed.
It's also pretty easy to integrate with other ERP or other systems thanks to native connectors and Anaplan Connect or APIs.

What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you can do pretty much everything in Anaplan can lead to bad developments, with no following from Anaplan team regarding what the partners are developing within clients ecosystem. I would like them to be more challenging on their partner and do reviews on their own of the models made, not only at the demand of the clients or the partner.
Customer support is pretty reactive but often misses the point when subjects are complicated.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Anaplan for Sales Compensation
Reviewed on Dec 03, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is very flexible, highly customizable, provides faster implementation and scalability
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires technical expertise to maintain, Limited version control & DevOps functionality
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Anaplan for sales compensation. Our old process was spreadsheet based - so it was very fragmented, manual, and difficult to maintain. This often led to inconsistencies, errors, and a lack of visibility for both admins and end users. We also lacked proper access controls for sensitive compensation data.. With Anaplan, we’ve been able to centralize our data, standardize our calculations, and streamline our process better. The platform has brought greater accuracy and transparency for our end ours on how compensation is calculated and communicated.
