More than just a budget and simulation platform
What do you like best about the product?
The IBM Planning Analytics platform is robust and evolving according to the needs of its users. It has brought to the planning universe more than just a way of working with calculations and scenario simulations. The visual with which the data is viewed has helped significantly the presentation of results. Is a platform that delivers what you want when it comes to data volume and speed of processing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process of application construction is not very intuitive in the view of the end user. I believe this is directly linked to feeders. Performance Modeler, despite having come up with a proposal to facilitate construction, the end result for larger projects can be frustrating in terms of maintenance and migration. Currently there are several client server applications that make the implementation and maintenance process extremely confusing. I understand that the client server tools will be discontinued because they are still distributed to new clients, even in the cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a consultant who has been working with the platform for some years, I have been able to help my clients using specific methodologies to implement optimization algorithms in order to guarantee the best combinations of results. Basically I have integrated my results optimization solutions to the Planning Analytics platform and through a methodology that I developed over the course of a few years, results previously impossible are now the reality of my clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work hard to eliminate 'feeders'.
Planning Analytics Workspace - High Adoption
What do you like best about the product?
Moving from TM1 Websheets to PAW has been a tremendous success. We have been using our existing TM1 websheets for over 5 years and while they were sufficient for our needs, we had many users asking about new functionality or enhancements over time. With PAW, we have been able to transform the user experience...gaining speed and functionality we have not seen before. Transitioning our websheets was relatively quick and adoption was extremely high. Within 30 min we had our users comfortable with the new process.
What do you dislike about the product?
As like most new applications, there are some features which are not currently available (but on the IBM roadmap). IBM has been extremely helpful in guiding us to "workarounds" for the time being which in which are not transparent to the end users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are moving past traditional numeric data input sheets to supplementing with visualizations in the same screen. This allows users to quickly see the impact of input as they are planning their numbers. In addition, the ad hoc capabilities have been useful for our power users.
