Extremely Versatile Connected Planning Platform
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.

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.

Anaplan Data Orchestrator and Merchandising apps can benefit from improved product stability and performance to boost adoption and implementation scope for partners.

Anaplan is the best tool I have come across for enterprise -level modeling and planning. It allows you to be as flexible as you need while also providing the structure needed to scale.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting is and always has been Anaplan's biggest weakness. While you do have many options, it is by no means perfect and lacks a lot of flexibility. However, setting up your calculated data to be exported to other reporting systems is very easy.

I am an implementation parter for Anaplan, so I get to see it solve many problems for many different use cases across all of the customers I work with.

There is also a lot less room for human error in an Anaplan model due to its structure and cloud based real time engine.
