Anaplan - A great EPM platform

  • December 17, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
From a partner's perspective, it is so easy to learn the programming language. From a user perspective, I like how easy it is to update front-end pages when I want to have a specific view.
What do you dislike about the product?
The company is growing quickly, and sometimes they might not keep up with the client requirements. But they seem to always push for more which is fantastic. So far, there wasn't a problem for which they didn't have an immediate solution or a workaround. So that's great
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm helping clients by making internal business processes faster and more efficient. You enable decision making avoiding the number-crunching that usually takes place when you use a more labor-intensive tool such as Excel.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a medium or large sized company that stil uses Excel for it's planning, budgeting and forecasting process, Anaplan is a great tool for unifying your processes, disrupting the department silos and enable collaboration for a faster and better business process within your company.

Great customization for your business processes

  • December 17, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan offers flexibility that enables companies to build their business processes according to specific needs.
These custom processes can then be connected inside Anaplan, which starts to multiply the benefits from the system.
Anaplan can deliver quick, tangible results. A proof-of-concept model can be created in a matter of hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new user experience promises long-term benefits like mobile use and cross-platform use, but it still needs to be improved in terms of functionality to allow for the same pros that the old interface had.
For example, the amount of data can fit into a new user experience page is considerably lower compared to oldinterface dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We build a company-wide approach to forecasting, planning, and intelligence gathering.
Processes now take less time, and the data quality is much improved compared to old excel-based methods.

Consistent in demonstrating tangible value & enhancing user experience

  • December 16, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that Anaplan can always show exciting results to clients quickly. Even if a model is only in its infancy, the client can still see the vast benefits offered & the real-time savings they get out of it.

I love the scalability and emphasis on embracing connected planning principles. By doing this, organizations can realist sustained improvements that have the ability to expand beyond just the current use case. These concepts seamlessly translate to an intuative user experience for all stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Anaplan can be so dynamic that seemingly effortless things are missing from the model builder or user perspective. An example can be publishing specific page selectors in different areas, ease of filtering, etc. Another specific example would be native time filtering options when building in a module with 'Time' as a dimension.

However, Anaplan has made a lot of strides with these features both in the classic model building mode and the UX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have solved problems related to a lot of manual work in excel. Many clients are hampered by vigorous offline processes that take forever to complete, which eats into time better spent elsewhere. There have also been complex allocation pain points that Anaplan has alleviated.

Anaplan has also helped us achieve connectivity across organiztion. It has improved accuracy and synergy across different processes that has enabled effective growth and expansion. Once clients realize the how Anaplan can enhance connected planning, it leads to increased adoption & enthusiasm for the product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Anaplan as a solution for any business. The benefits are limitless, and the interface is friendly and easy to use. You will instantly see benefits if you have dedicated personnel helping implement and maintain. Clean data and a clear roadmap & vision are essential to successfully using this tool.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
