Centralized Planning with Flexible Excel Integration
Reviewed on Mar 09, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate IBM Planning Analytics for its ability to centralize data, which eliminates the need for multiple spreadsheets and makes collaboration much easier for my team. The platform allows us to run scenario simulations quickly, which is beneficial for planning pricing strategies, especially when dealing with variables like holiday-induced price changes. I like its flexibility and excellent Excel integration, which help us update reports, explore data quickly, and adjust assumptions to see immediate impacts on forecasts or margins. The flexibility in particular stands out. Additionally, the learning curve was manageable for me, and the onboarding process was smooth, which made getting started relatively easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for me was alright, but for others it seems to be a bit steep at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Planning Analytics helps us centralize data and collaborate better by avoiding separate spreadsheets. We can quickly run scenario simulations to track pricing strategies and see their impact on business performance. Flexibility and Excel integration make it easier to update reports and explore data efficiently.

Powerful Tool for Strategic Decision-Making
Reviewed on Mar 02, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the MS Excel integration in IBM Planning Analytics; it's great. The dashboards are extensive and well-designed. Even though I'm not a power user, it's impressive to see how power users can build brilliant forecasting models with it. It's also very valuable as our single source of truth for budgetary decisions focused on revenue. Additionally, it's a great tool for taking data-driven strategic decisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I, as a business user, find it hard to build customized dashboards. There are very few self-service capabilities. Some views of reports can be simplified to remove unnecessary details for leadership. The initial implementation can be hard, especially for business users. Without an AI builder, it gets complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Planning Analytics helps with day-to-day reporting, focuses heavily on revenue, facilitates what-if pricing discussions, and supports budgetary discussions and target setting. It's our single source of truth for budgetary decisions.
