What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan has helped to improve the Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting, Sales & Operations Planning Capabilities of many of our clients.
One of the greatest benefits that have been realized for many of our clients is bringing many people onto one platform, and greatly reducing the excels being used in their organizations, removing unmaintainable models, and large amounts of file sharing through emails.

How Anaplan provides a success planning model
What do you like best about the product?
App hub is the part that I like best that can provide people a high possibility of viewing potential functions they will have and give users flexibility to download and reconfigure based on business requirements. Also, the dashboarding is a very good feature that Anaplan has, it provide the possibility that user can see the immediate impact derived from the driver or assumptions. There's no need to move across a bunch of sheets to visualise the result.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I would say dislike for Anaplan is the new user interface. It's a good feature that provides better user experience but not all functionalities are well developed so far, some functions of traditional dashboarding are not supported in the NUX. Therefore this is a part that Anaplan can keep developing and provide more possibilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solved a bunch of problems that clients have. The key benefit that we can take from Anaplan is the well organised planning approach for each end user roles. It's not a tool developed for single admin or only for CEO, it takes care of all users and provide very good navigation and path for everyone in the company. Also, the dashboard collaborates necessary information in same place that users can easily navigate or move to the page that they'll need to use or review.

supply Chain planning with data avaialble to other departments within the business via hubs and satalite models
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your due dilligance with other planning tools but keep in mind the excellent network of partners and Anaplan SA's / Model builder expertize which is second to none
Worked with Anaplan as a Partner for 3 years.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it has been to connect multiple Anaplan models together so business data can be shared easy between groups. It has been seamless for users around the world to be in the system and collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not the best system for visualizations. Users often cannot view the data in formats that they would like, and there are sometimes functionalities that they see in excel that do not carry over into Anaplan that makes it difficult for them to view the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working with financial reporting and the problems we have been tackling are eliminating large excel files that need to be updated by global users. The benefits have been to consolidate large amounts of data, run calculations against them, and have users all over the world be able to quickly view and assess their financial reports.
Versatile platform that is easy to master and can be scaled up to meet complex modelling challenges
What do you like best about the product?
Very versatile platform, can be used in many ways
What do you dislike about the product?
Layout of settings could be improved, can take time to get feedback on issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real estate modelling, Insurance P&L, Supply Chain planning; more integrated planning, reducing errors, more control over inputs and assumptions
Anaplan is a Cloud-based Multi-Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan's flexibility, ability to work at scale, and its extensibility make it an excellent tool that can be applied to large-scale business processes and more granular operational processes alike.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's licensing/pricing model. It's very confusing to both partners and customers, makes it harder to sell services than it should, and since those conversations occur towards the end of the sales cycle, it can create unnecessary tension between the partner and customer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I currently use and implement Anaplan to solve all kinds of problems for a variety of our clients. Most use cases have been within the FP&A, Supply Chain, or SPM areas of our clients' organizations but have also entailed some Call Center Planning, Contract modeling, and other interesting implementations. The primary benefits we've realized have been more efficient planning cycles that require less time and produce better plans, unleashing more creative potential in our clients' teams from increased collaboration in Anaplan, and enhanced analysis from greater transparency in the modeling and planning process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're a partner, make sure you understand the licensing model so that you can help the client understand it and avoid potential issues coming from the Anaplan AE.
Otherwise, if you're considering Anaplan as a user just make sure to go through the Level 1-2 trainings, at a minimum. It will give a solid foundation to understanding the platform and the underlying technology.
