The company is growing quickly, and sometimes they might not keep up with the client requirements. But they seem to always push for more which is fantastic. So far, there wasn't a problem for which they didn't have an immediate solution or a workaround. So that's great

What do you dislike about the product?
The new user experience promises long-term benefits like mobile use and cross-platform use, but it still needs to be improved in terms of functionality to allow for the same pros that the old interface had.
For example, the amount of data can fit into a new user experience page is considerably lower compared to oldinterface dashboards.

We build a company-wide approach to forecasting, planning, and intelligence gathering.
Processes now take less time, and the data quality is much improved compared to old excel-based methods.

I like how flexible the tool is and how simple the coding language is; it makes learning easier for non-technical people.

It is an excellent tool when implemented correctly. Take your time and do it right the first time. You will see a lot of value in the platform if you execute correctly.
Powerful, Scalable, Customizable Business Planning Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is highly customizable and can solve varied business problems. As an implementation consultant, this allows me to not only solve for current business needs but also help end-users think about any future issues they can solve with the tool. It helps drive consistency between disparate business groups and easily scales alongside the business, and is easy to pick up for both users and system administrators.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it can handle enormous volumes of data, there is still room to improve calculation scaling. However, similar to Excel, since it is highly flexible, the problems typically stem from not following best practices rather than actual problems with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan is helping businesses solve many problems, including consolidating disparate business processes, eliminating inconsistent spreadsheets, and bringing together various planning groups. In addition, it supports use cases (FP&A, SPM, Supply Chain) across nearly all enterprise business functions. I've been a part of several successful implementations and see many more down the road, both with current and new users.
Anaplan is a great business friendly tool that can save you from Excel
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is a cloud based tool that can be access from any web browser and even mobile devices. It can store billions of data points and has native security and user access management capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan can relatively be implemented incorrectly making the tool slow and unusable. This leads to the need of an Anaplan expert to help develop the initial application to ensure that the overall architecture is built sustainaby.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most Anaplan implementations help teams get out of the pains of Excel. I have used Anaplan for FP&A, Project Planning, Inventory Planning, and Territory and Quota Planning.
Anaplan allows many users to interact with the same information and conduct their planning without running into version control issues.
