Some tools that are easy and practical to use in Excel are still not available in planning, and their limitation for creating Dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has increased the possibilities of solutions that we can help work on for the client.
Enhancing Strategic Planning and Agility with TM1
What do you like best about the product?
What stands out in TM1 is the ability to model complex business scenarios without relying heavily on external spreadsheets. It brings structure to planning processes while still allowing custom logic, which is especially useful in a fast-paced financial environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside of TM1 is how unintuitive some of its advanced features can be for new users. Setting up hierarchies or troubleshooting data issues often requires deep platform knowledge, which slows down onboarding and makes knowledge transfer harder within the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TM1 addresses the challenge of maintaining consistency across multiple planning cycles and business units. By centralizing data and logic, it reduces versioning issues and ensures that everyone works from a single source of truth. This leads to faster validations, fewer reconciliation steps, and more confidence in the numbers during tight closing periods.
A powerful and flexible tool
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about the tool is the fact that it is truly multidimensional and fast, it does what it sets out to do very well and its limitations do not interfere with generating a good result.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool does not have efficient parallel processing, which can increase the execution time of activities
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Planning Analytics helps streamline monthly financial closes by automating data consolidation, enabling rapid analysis of key metrics such as revenue, expenses, profit, and tax calculations. It aids decision-making by providing accurate, near-real-time or faster insights into the bank’s financial performance.
Excellent financial planning tool
What do you like best about the product?
Using TM1 as a developer is working with a powerful, flexible, and performance-oriented platform; its in-memory architecture ensures agility in processing, even with large volumes of data. I believe that the freedom of modeling is a great differentiator, always being able to deliver what was aligned with the business needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that the user interface visualization for PAW is still very limited, resulting in screens that are not very responsive in terms of UX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By working with a large volume of data, we achieve fast data processing and availability for Key Users to proceed with analyses, and also great ease in scenario simulation, aiding in decision-making.
Driving Efficiency and Governance Through Advanced TM1 Development
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about TM1 is the ability to design end-to-end planning solutions that combine both performance and control. I enjoy how the platform allows me to implement robust governance through security settings, while still offering flexibility to adapt models quickly as business needs change. It’s a powerful balance between structure and agility.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don't like about TM1 is the complexity involved in scaling models across different business units. While TM1 offers flexibility, maintaining consistency and performance across large, decentralized teams can be challenging, especially when dealing with complex, interdependent calculations and data sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TM1 helps solve the challenge of aligning financial and operational planning in one integrated environment. By connecting data across departments, it eliminates information silos and supports faster, more reliable decision-making. This helps me deliver solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also bring real value to business users by improving visibility and coordination.
