Say goodbye to Excel
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan allows for an enterprise approach to planning and forecasting, allowing for collaboration while maintaining consistency in approach, calculation, and reporting. Manual Excel process can be eliminated in favor of scaled Anaplan models that allow for controlled access and user role-driven experiences.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the UX has advanced greatly this is not a BI or data visualization tool, the power of Anaplan is in the calculation engine and the collaborative modeling capabilities. No native multi-select functionality and conditional formating can be a bit clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dispersion of sensitive information in a controlled manner (selective access), the connection of disparate teams on a single platform, reduction in forecast process timelines.
solid FP&A planning tool

Great Tool for Scenario Planning
What do you like best about the product?
Real time calculation and ease of model set up make Anaplan an ideal tool for scenario planning compared to other tools and allow end-users to move away from using excel
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan workspace doesn't have the capacity to store multiple years of data at a lower level of detail, so we need to use other reporting tools to support building trend report or deep-dive analysis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using the tool for different Finance use cases, such as What-if analysis, Planning and Budgeting, and Profitability modeling
The data hub provides a single source of truth for master data
The timestamp in Action setting supports data auditing

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Anaplan is a great tool for real time data and forecasting scenarios. The user experience has been improving a lot over the year with the introduction of anaplan UX, which helps developers set up more visually appealing reports for end-users. However, without the capability of handling multiple years of transactional data due to space limitations, there is a need to integrate anaplan with other reporting tools more well-suited to represent the data

As Anaplan is very easily scalable and flexible, always set a fixed goal for the phase of the project as it can easily get out of hand while implementation
Anaplan - Boosting Data Capacity with Anaplan's HyperModel Feature
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan's regular model size is 130G, while its Hypermodel is capable to deal with large data size and can reach 720G. This great feature allow us to be able to integrate historical data, previous versions' data into the system, and deliver Year-over-Year, Version-over-Version comparison without any difficulty.
We are now able to increase the amount of more meaningful dimensions in the Hypermodel and can drill down to more details within the structure.

What do you dislike about the product?
We also had our initial demo for Anaplan's Machine Learning capabilities - Plan IQ. This is a very exciting demo. The built-in algorithms are awesome, but we wish that we could see a little bit more detailed algorithm behind the scene.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The increased model size allows us to integrate more and more data into Anaplan, and to use Anaplan as a single source of truth for a variety of reports across all departments.
