Anaplan - Center of Excellence
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan's COE allow multiple departments to work on the same hierarchy lists. We can build various spoke models while keeping the same settings aligned from the main Data Hub model. This improves the report building efficiency and saves time in reconciliation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we have challenges in synchronizing the numbered list. When we add/remove items from Data Hub model, it is not easier to synchronize the list in the spoke model if it is a numbered list. Currently we are trying to use regular list (instead of numbered list) for this issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan helps different departments to align the lists, and to have the same hierarchy in reports. The synchronization function makes the report consistent across different models.

The best solution for your planning and process needs
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the user experience is really flexible and meets the main needs of most enterprises. The Connected Planning experience a good implementation can give to its customers is a high-end solution that works really well. The platform constantly expands and is market competitive, the multiple integration options allow the system to communicate and seamlessly fit in any existing environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having been exposed to the gritty back-end work and not only the shiny front-end, there are things that can be enhanced in the way the dimensions work and the way the engine performs - being a live system means any blocking action cripples user experience for everyone involved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprises shifting their planning processes to a tool that can meet all their needs - processes can be clear and concise, and seamlessly interact with the overall business cases. Complex processes that span over multiple regions and business units are usually difficult to optimize or consolidate; however using Anaplan makes this step far easier to accomplish and maintain.
