Anaplan for SPM Review

  • June 17, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is incredibly flexible and easy to learn for both users and developers. It can be used for almost any function, including sales and finance. You can make changes in real-time and communicate to other users with the in-app commenting features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan does not currently allow for object level migration - all migrations are done at the model level. This is to ensure a developer does not mess anything up when migrating to production, which is good, but can make it difficult to time releases and bug fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan gives us a platform to have connected planning, so we don't need to deal with the downsides of sending google sheets back and forth. It allows for more integrated, real-time planning.

Best in class solution for complex financial planning and analysis

  • April 26, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is an amazing dimensional modeling tool. It has a very powerful calculation engine allowing you to calculate at speed and scale. Its best application is for driver-based planning and connected planning. Its a user-focused tool that is that has a very excel-like feel.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting capability is not as strong as some BI tools, however, it does have native connectors for Power BI and Tableau. Making enhancements can be challenging if it is a complex solution as the calculations are always on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving data trust issues as we are now allowing the business to have one source of truth for data and modeling that can be trusted. Additionally, we are creating more value by spending less time in our planning process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure your data is ready and you completely understand your business process.

Say goodbye to Excel

  • April 15, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan allows for an enterprise approach to planning and forecasting, allowing for collaboration while maintaining consistency in approach, calculation, and reporting. Manual Excel process can be eliminated in favor of scaled Anaplan models that allow for controlled access and user role-driven experiences.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the UX has advanced greatly this is not a BI or data visualization tool, the power of Anaplan is in the calculation engine and the collaborative modeling capabilities. No native multi-select functionality and conditional formating can be a bit clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dispersion of sensitive information in a controlled manner (selective access), the connection of disparate teams on a single platform, reduction in forecast process timelines.

solid FP&A planning tool

  • January 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This tool was a significant first step to the finance team getting reporting in a digestible format to distribute to our partners. We were able to present and pivot the data along the GL levels easily, as well as sync data from other sales and operation sources to analyze. Also amazing version control
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not the best for headcount monitoring. It's very manual and you can easily mess up entries. It's hard to just upload and replace with new cost, headcount, and new open hires.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
benefits: version control, able to create many views and breakdowns, clean look

downside: very manual, needs a dedicated person to maintain and setup, restrictive format for data input

Highly collaborative and customizable modelling software

  • January 04, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
How customizable it is. Companies can replicate their business processes with minimum to no compromise. It is one of the few tools on the market (with Excel) with this level of customization.
Anaplan is probably second only to Excel in project development time, it is incredibly fast.
Finally, given that it is a formula-based tool, there is no scripting needed so anyone can pick it up.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface. Even though Anaplan has invested a lot of time and effort over the last couple of year to improve it (new user experience, management reporting,...) I don't believe it's quite there yet.
Simple things are still missing.
Additionally, proper workflow capabilities need to be re-introduced (Anaplan did release a v.1 in 2020).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems: siloed business processes, difficulties to consolidate the figures, multiple data sources, manual calculation/template errors, no audit trail, no data security
Benefits: time savings, live consolidated figures, single source of truth, accurate and correct calculations, advanced audit and security capabilities
