Because there is a single dimension, there are no separate tiers or instance sizes to choose from. You control cost by adjusting the number of AUs on your contract.

I use IBM Planning Analytics as a developer. The thing I like the best about the software is how the OLAP database work, how much data you can store and how fast it performs calculations for vast amounts of data. It makes it very flexible for many use cases in finance and improves the data organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes difficult to navigate when there are edge cases in rule calculations and feeders.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the issue of getting the vast amount of data from Excel and other sources to improve data organization and visibility within the organization.

Powerful TM1 Engine and REST API That Enable Flexible Custom Apps but TM1 engine is unstable
Reviewed on Oct 29, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The TM1 database engine - the REST API heavily enables our custom front end and console applications. The MDX engine allows for easy data extraction.
What do you dislike about the product?
Release cycles are extremely slow. Critical TM1 database bugs occur seemingly every release even within our LTS version of 11. For example, just this past couple months a bug has been plaguing our metadata where transaction log entries will be read in to old principal names of elements, completely breaking our database - this has since been fixed. But now we have an issue where one of our databases has a memory leak, will grow from a starting size of 1 gb to hundreds of gbs, then crash. Basically the seemingly endless whack-a-mole of bug fixing then new bugs are found in a fix pack are endless even though version 11 has been on long term support for years now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Forecasting, treasury cash management, fx hedging, tax fin18, true up, hq services, actuals reporting, many many more....

What do you dislike about the product?
The security is a bit cumbersome, and needing to have users accept an invite often causes issues. Sometimes the invite isn't received causing admins to need to get involved and resend the invite.

Review provided by G2

I think the cost structure is kind of high and should be mitigated if possible. I also think the support structure could be improved or added onto.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM Planning Analytics to manage data.

A purpose-built product for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) that lets me review my company’s current financial position and plan where we want to go, how we’ll get there, and what would happen if we tried different approaches.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrating Planning Analytics into an existing ecosystem can be challenging, but IBM has recently added new flight connectors to reduce the time required and make the process easier to complete.

It consolidates data from multiple systems and allows me to plan detailed models at scale. It also supports collaboration and helps consolidate contributions from stakeholders and cost centre managers. In addition, it enables statutory and management reporting, as well as KPI monitoring.
