Forecasting software that tries to make it easy

  • December 24, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact you can have big teams adding individual information about their own forecasting numbers, and the sofware tries to maintain the informarion organized. Anaplan provides charts and tables.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not intuituive. If you have plenty of products, when adding information on the table, you do not see the name of that row (because you went down, but the name of the row is not frozen). The user interface needs to improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan helps to know how many units you will need in a specific period of time (it can be a month, quarter, or couple of years). It helps to evaluate how many units (or bill of materials) the company will need in a certain amount of time.

Extremely Versatile Connected Planning Platform

  • December 23, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is a great connected planning platform and extremely versatile. The versatility allows Anaplan to be used for such a wide variety of use cases - it can even be used as the project planning software (sprint tracking, user story review, etc.) for implementation for other use cases! The upside of building a connected planning platform on Anaplan is hat you can have all of your data in one place, connected in the same platform "language" which makes analysis and insights much easier to execute across an organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan still has some downsides when it comes to dashboarding; however, it has come a LONG way. The downsides are when you are trying to pull multiple dimensions together on a report; these are some limitations that will hopefully be resolved in future releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You name it. Anaplan is so versatile that it can literally solve almost ANY business problem - and can be a platform your project planning or a quick game of connect four at that!

Due to its connected planning nature and centralized data hub concepts, Anaplan makes it very easy to solve all sorts of business problems and draw insights across all of them.

Good solution for excel models that have to be robust, complex and correct

  • December 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is a web-based combination between excel and a database. Easy for the user to navigate through data (pivoting is great) and web interface and reporting is good. An excel add-in is very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have to have an experienced model builder on staff to make changes or even more minor adjustments. Not seamless in integrating with other finance software. More expensive than excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Anaplan for P&L reporting, cost allocation, forecasting and budgeting. Customizable software great for when you have particular case/usage. Works with hierarchies well, so when there is a change (like with a reorg) it is flexible to get the model back online and working.

  • December 07, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like Anaplan's planning and modeling features, intelligent engine, user experience, extensibility and scalability. Anaplan connects people, data and plans like no other with their unified cloud platform. New features and functionalities are incorporated into the platform on a monthly basis which enhance the product's value proposition and usability significantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Auditability of line items can be improved by adding extra features like saved views references, filter references, UX page references etc. Native support for allowing input/breakback and calculation logic in the same line item can be added to further boost platform adoption in Retail Planning use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan's versatility is one of its key differentiators. Using Anaplan, comprehensive planning solutions that facilitate quick decision-making can be built for all critical functions - Finance, Sales, Supply Chain, HR and Workforce, Marketing etc. As a partner, this enables me to implement best-in-class solutions for our customers and their planning needs.
