I am a model builder for supply chain business unit.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it is a cloud erp solution. all users are sure that they are looking at the same data/dashboards. the speed is nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
cannot apply conditional formatting to single cells. only can apply to an entire line item. wish there would be more charting options. dashboarding is a bit wonky and can spend a lot of time making sure it looks nice on a specific ration screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am building models for forecasting. quickly analyze multiple what if statements and compare different regressions side by side.
Easy to use software that gets the info where it needs to be.
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan makes quick work of organizing large amounts of data, and allows the user to present the data in whichever way they choose.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few minor glitches that are a little frustrating, but don't affect the usability. For instance, when using a "weeks" timescale, you can only use the week number and can't change it to show a date (e.g. date of the Monday of that week).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently using it for our material planning needs, and it has allowed us to move completely out of excel for our Planning needs.
Solid program, strong analytical features
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to customize the tool to easily extract the data necessary to make decisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Simple features that excel has are not present in Anaplan. For example, highlighting two cells with numerical values doesn't sum the cells.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Anaplan to create a collaborative sales forecast across multiple parties.
Great PMing software
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is the cloud focus and the versatility of using it for different types of businesses.
What do you dislike about the product?
The differentiation of the software for different files, it can just be different modules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to solve the problem of different teams using a different type of product. For example its much simpler for a smartwatch manufacturing company to utilize this software instead of using different types for all functions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool but consider how to implement across different company functions
Anaplan is one of the best integrated planning cloud based software tools in market today
What do you like best about the product?
With Anaplan, connected planning has become easy. This cloud platform is being used by several organizations today and what I like best is the ease of use, flexibility and different slice-and-dice options provided by this tool. It is easy to grasp and build models!
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting capabilities of Anaplan are not its forte. It is sometimes a struggle when reports need to be fancy and output needs to be shown in pdf or excel format
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, We are using anaplan to do sales allocation and operational planning. The benefits are having all data at one place, it is easy to reflect one change in all places and makes a user's life easy since they can see all views in one page!
flexible
What do you like best about the product?
it's very flexible in what you want to report and model. currently we only use it for revenue and bookings reporting/modeling but definitely interested in other areas
What do you dislike about the product?
everything must be defined, but this is why it's so flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
what ifs in modeling, but having the flexibility to do it quickly.
Efficiency and Transparency Gains!
What do you like best about the product?
Dynamic work space, information is available the instant changes are made.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficulty in formatting reports, could be more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating and consolidating planning financial statements from Corporate to Business Unit and Department levels. Gained visibility into more the performance of the lower departments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have reports that you are attempting to create in Anaplan created in Excel, allows you to evaluate and plan the model before building.
Keeping you in the know!
What do you like best about the product?
Personalized dashboard on a per employee basis, providing an abundance of information pertaining to an array of policies, contracts, dashboards, etc. It's essentially a one-stop shop for most things finance/payroll related, being able to effectively view and report on my compensation plans, my targets, my performance, my payroll information, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does require an Administrator to configure things properly on the back-end to be able to effectively utilize the tool (which I'm lucky to have) but perhaps a little more friendly of a UI so a training session to use the system isn't necessarily a necessity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping every employee up to speed regarding their payment plans, where they are on that plan to date, payout information, etc. Especially working on a sales team like myself, knowing these compensation details is paramount.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great centralized tool, allowing all information pertaining to payroll, contracts, compensations, etc. to be detailed on a per employee basis, and accessible right at one's fingertips.
Great product for planning
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to automate planning processes and take excel to the next level. Once you set up the anaplan model, it provides you with the ability to analyze your plans and data and make changes on the fly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup is a huge hurdle. You need a model builder dedicated to the on-going maintenance and evolution as business processes change.
