Anaplan: A rapid, User-Centric Powerhouse Revolutionizing Planning Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan brings the end users and their specific needs to the center of design. This means the platforms adheres to the processes of the end users rather than the end users having to adapt to an out of the box process. Even though model builders may need to conduct the on demand trainings to get up to speed. Once completed or with the help of implementation partners Anaplan can be rolled out in a speedy manner. Next to the time savings during the implementation, users will notice an improvement as well as a reduction of their planning cycles. Anaplan can be utilized to connect planning processes of multiple departments enabling a harmonized enterprise wide plan. Due to its maturity on the market, Anaplan has grown a very strong community with many knowledge assets and members that are happy to give a helping hand wherever needed. Platform related questions can easily raised with the business partner team or via email/ticket to the support team.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two limitations when it comes to planning in Anaplan. One is for sure the missing multi language support. Anaplan would only operate in English which may be difficult for end users who are not too confident using a tool that is not supported in their native language. On top the high degree of flexibility can be blessing and burden at the same time when inefficient processes are transferred onto the Anaplan platform without being challenged during the design phase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team and I have enabled mutliple business end users to maintain and enhance their planning solutions within the Anaplan platform without being dependent on the IT department. Many of them shared the same status quo before switching to Anaplan. There are multiple different data sources that need to be gathered and manipulated. By the time they are ready to be used during the planning cycle they are already outdated. Multiple spreadsheets were provided to the various teams in different locations making it almost impossible to provide updates to master data (structural or transactional). With the help of Anaplan those team could trust in the single source of the truth with real-time updates across all business lines and locations.

Anaplan is the best tool for planning

If you are new to modeling flexibility might become a problem as Anaplan lets you build as you see fit. And not all methods are equally reasonable. So you really need to think ahead about the model structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan helps to reduce time for planning by a large margin. For example it reduced time required for HR planning from a few days to several hours, compared to planning in Excel. Also, Anaplan allowed to calculate demand in such detalization that wasn't possible before.

What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan uses a sparse calculation model. As a result, models can become very large.
The large the model, the higher the licensing fees and potential impact to performance.

Anaplan is solving the problem of relying on disparate Excel sheets and Excel models to perform monthly, quarterly, and annual budgeting, planning, and forecasting cycles.
The benefit is that there is more security and transparency to the models being hosted in a single clould planning platform as opposed to Excel files on various employees' laptops.
