Agility and flexibility in modeling and connected planning
What do you like best about the product?
The speed with which a user can create complex models and calculations is unmatched. The ability to assign selective access and row-level security allows a model to confidently be shared to a wide user base without compromising security. Anaplan also has a robust user community that is full of support and is responsive to requests for help.

There can be a steep learning curve to model building, as new modelers learn what it means to implement best practices and think through building a model in a way that takes advantage of Anaplan's multi-dimensionality and parallel processing abilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan allows our business to aggregate disparate data sources in a single environment, create new metrics, and present that to end users for feedback and input to drive better, more data-driven decision making. Having in-house Master Anaplanners also allows our business to have resources that are technically savvy AND can understand that nuances of our business, which creates an environment where we are able to continually iterate on our tools and solutions.

Ability to create models that speak to each other whenever necessary. The tool is flexible enough for us to design models that enhance the user experience over excel and provide ability to perform calculations in real-time across much larger data sets.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan's calculation engine and models are rhobust, but visuals are still lacking. Having multiple UX options creates inconsistency across the user base and inflexibility of visuals requires exports of data to excel for reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduces errors that might be caused through the use of Excel, reduces amount of time spent on analysis and data maintenance. Significantly improves communication across the business.

Managing sparsity is a challenge with Anaplan, as in a real-life scenario there will be multiple heavy-weight dimensions, and with Anaplan acquiring space for the cells where there will be no data is a bit challenging from a business perspective.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan helps in enterprise-wide planning, bringing all the departments together to collaboratively plan the budget and play their specific roles. It has crunched the data preparation and budget preparation time allowing more time to review.

Good for targeted use cases but don't expect major flexibility.
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan's scalability is top-notch. Since everything is performed in memory, it's very easy to scale out a model as long as the workspace size is available. Anaplan's low-code platform is also good for a lot of the ultimate end users and administrators using Anaplan to manage, maintain, and enhance existing models while building new ones to meet the demands of their enterprises' planning needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Personally, I would like to have more flexibility in writing functions. Custom functions would be a game-changer in terms of how complex a model can be. Data integrations are also very tedious and can be a pain to make adjustments to depending on the tools being used.

Anaplan seeks to solve problems common to planning in enterprises. Namely, siloed workstreams fed by disparate data sources, minimal collaboration in the planning cycle, lack of visibility, and difficulty in maintaining complex processes using tools that are not intended to scale to enterprise levels.
