What do you like best about the product?
The speed at which it turns chaos into structure. Legal workloads shift constantly new filings, unexpected hearings, client emergencies and Planning Analytics lets me model those shifts in minutes. I can give a firm a clear, visual explanation of workload distribution, cost impact and staffing needs withous ten spreadsheets.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI still feels more enterprise accounting department than legal operations and the learning curve can intimidate teams who aren't used to analytics tools. Once you get past that, it's excellent , but yes the onboarding takes some patience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefit is simple firms finally operate with clarity instead of intuition and in legal work, clarity means better outcomes, healthier teams and fewer 2a.m. fire drills. It solves the visibility problem that every law firm secretly battles, no one truly knows where time, effort and bottlenecks are hiding.

Planning Analytics reviews of Eric Dalton

What do you like best about the product?
The speed and clarity. I can design assumptions, forecast workloads and model production impacts in minutes. Instead of guessing what a design change will do to cost or timing, I can show the results instantly. It makes engineering decisions far less emotional and far more grounded in actualo numbers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface still feels a bit rigid, especially for new sers. It's powerful once you understand the workflow, but the learning curve is real and when models get big, you can feel the weight, not a dealbreaker, just something you plan around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the engineering decisions without operational contex problem, something that plagues almost every design team. Planning Analytics lets me forecast production timelines, calculate cost impacts instantly, understand resource needs, compare scenarios side by side and prevent design creep from sinking margins. The benefit is simple smarter decisions made earlier, fewer surprises later. It keeps engineering aligned with reality which is exactly where it needs to be.

Streamlined Financial Reporting with IBM Planning Analytics

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the Excel add-in that comes with IBM Planning Analytics because as a CPA, I work with Excel a lot and it's important to me to not have to learn a new web interface just to make a few adjustments. Being able to pull live data directly into my existing models without rebuilding them is a lifesaver. I also like that it's fast, making the process of adjusting and entering data by region or product quite smooth. It's especially beneficial during meetings because I can provide updates immediately without needing to follow up later. The automation features are incredibly valuable too, as they save us a lot of time by automating tasks like currency conversions and aggregations.
What do you dislike about the product?
So the licensing cost, it's a bit too much. It can be reduced. Also, they got it, like, in new app interface for their workspaces, which feels a bit flashy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Planning Analytics gives us more control, stops calculation errors, and saves time with automations. It centralizes data, stopping the need for multiple spreadsheets. It automates currency conversions and aggregations, enhancing our financial reporting and handling rolling forecasts effortlessly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves disconnected, spreadsheet-driven planning by providing a fast, centralized TM1 engine for real-time forecasting and what-if analysis.
