IBM Planning Analytics: Empowering Businesses with Next-Level Planning and Analysis

  • May 27, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Today's businesses need robust tools to deal with the complexity of planning and decision-making. Planning Analytics from IBM is a game-changer, changing how companies plan, forecast, and analyze. As someone who has extensively explored IBM Planning Analytics' features and functionalities, I'm excited to share my review.

i). A powerful forecasting and analysis tool:
There's a lot of power in IBM Planning Analytics when it comes to forecasting and analysis. A business can generate accurate predictions, identify trends, and gain valuable insights into their financial and operational performance using its advanced algorithms and modeling techniques.


ii). Integrate seamlessly:
Integrates seamlessly with different data sources and existing systems, making it easy to consolidate data from different departments. With this integration, organizations can make better decisions based on a comprehensive view of their business and improve data accuracy.


iii). Creating a collaborative environment:
Through IBM Planning Analytics, you can collaborate with team members in real-time. Having multiple stakeholders work on planning, budgeting, and forecasting simultaneously improves coordination and reduces delays.


iv). The user interface is intuitive:
The user-friendly interface of IBM Planning Analytics makes planning and analysis a breeze. Using the application, building models, and doing calculations doesn't require extensive training.


v). A flexible scenario planning approach:
Businesses can explore different what-if scenarios and evaluate their potential impact with the software's robust scenario planning capabilities. As a result, organizations can make proactive decisions, assess risks, and adapt to changing market conditions.
What do you dislike about the product?
i). The learning curve:
IBM Planning Analytics has a steep learning curve, especially for new users or people unfamiliar with similar software. However, the complexity of certain features and functions may require additional training or support to utilize the software fully.

ii). Support for mobile devices is limited:
Some other planning and analytics tools have more mobile support than IBM Planning Analytics. Although mobile devices can access it through web browsers, the experience and functionality may be limited, making it less convenient for users who rely heavily on mobility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Planning Analytics offers significant benefits to businesses, solving several joint planning and analysis problems. Here are some of the problems it solves and the benefits it brings:

i). Integration of complex data:
Data from different sources is often fragmented and inconsistent because businesses struggle to consolidate it. With IBM Planning Analytics, organizations can get a unified view of their operations by seamlessly integrating diverse data sets. This helps users plan, forecast, and make decisions with accurate and comprehensive data.

ii). Inefficient processes:
The manual planning process can be time-consuming, error-prone, and inflexible. With IBM Planning Analytics, you can automate tasks, eliminate manual errors, and collaborate in real time. As a result, users can focus on strategic analysis and decision-making, which improves efficiency and reduces cycle times.

iii). Analysis and insights are limited:
Traditionally, planning tools don't give you deep insights and analysis. This limitation is overcome by IBM Planning Analytics' powerful modeling and analytics. Making data-driven decisions and gaining actionable insights can be done using complex calculations, scenario analysis, and predictive modeling.

Excellent analytics tool

  • November 14, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
IBM PA has a powerful engine that handles sparsity very well - other competing software solutions do not compete. It is flexible and completely customizable to fit your business and planning needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are challenges with the fact that PA is so customizable; there are times when something "can" be done in PA, but really should not and can cause issues down the line.

We utilize PA internally for revenue forecasting and resource planning.
Our most common implementations include: Demand and Supply Planning and Financial Planning
The benefits include: single source of truth for data, integrated platform to eliminate siloes in planning, self-service analytics - eliminates reliance on IT for data
