The possibilities to create a connected planning ecosystem with multiple use cases. the flexibillites to use multiple data sources and still connect the dots. Can be use as ETL as well

The price is quite high and rigid and also a bit hard to communicate, based on GB but not regular storage but calculation engine.. more GB the more users eventhough you don´t need user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem solved is that you can have one set of data and get rid of the excel hell and version tsunamies. agreeing on data to use makes the plans owned by the entire company and not different apartments.

What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan is wonderful in many many ways, but as with any system there can be downsides. The main one is that the tool needs to be fully planned for implementation, in order to build a system that is scalable for the long term and which remains flexible to business changes.
This is where partnering with a implementation consultant like Bolt Consulting really pays off. We're ex-Big4 accountants and consultants with decades of experience between us implementing solutions like Anaplan. Go to someone you can trust to implement it right, first time round.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The core problem businesses face is in spreadsheet overload, where many complicated processes are modelled out with error prone and large spreadsheets. By pushing and automating calculations into a platform such as Anaplan you can formulate calculations and lock them down so theres no danger of someone accidently changing a reference. User access is managed at the granular level so you can be sure people only have access to what they need to have access to.
Anaplan : A great connected planning platform
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is a lightweight solution which does not need labor intensive effort for implementation. It can remove excel-silos in the company and help collaboration among different department in the organization which can effectively shorten planning cycle and improve user experience in planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no ETL tools embedded (excpet for paying a higher price for an OEM informatica). For every projects we have implemented, we require IT Department to help on ETL tasks which would always receive resistance and hesitation from the customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps our customers to solve the lack of multi-dimensional management in excel. Excel is an excellent tools for mathematical computation but it lacks the management of dimensions and hierarchy. Anaplan can effectively manage dimensions and hierarchy to help users shortening time for changing formulas in excel when there is any change in dimensions everytime, which is very frequent in business world nowadays. Strong computing power from Anaplan can also help users to plan at a more granular level when needed, the real-time calculation has outraced the performance in excel which could takes forever to update a formula if the source data volume is high.

Anaplan Implementation Partner
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is really flexible and adaptable to any organization! I have seen it used it across different industries for a wide variety of purposes (sales performance management, FP&A, etc). It's easy for non-IT users to learn, and it can be used to make processes much more efficient. The connected planning features are great!
What do you dislike about the product?
While I like Anaplan a lot overall, it could have better ways of tracking licenses. There are also some minor enhancements that would help with usability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidation is much easier. Planning can also be done at much more granular data levels, and automated validations free up time for the central budget offices.
Amazingly flexible. Huge benefits for the organization if done correctly
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility. Can model any business process and function. No coding so development is fast and can be done within the function.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a Anaplan problem per se but in order to get the most out of the product, you need capable resources. Anaplan is not a plug & play system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost allocations, subsidiary FP&A, workforce planning, KPI administration, Sales Planning.
All of these are done in Anaplan. All of them are connected so having a single source of truth saves us a lot of time. The functionalities we have in these models couldn´t be done in any other (single) platform.

Anaplan: Scalable, Customizable, but Expertise Required for Success
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan allows for finance teams to have a single source of truth for budgeting. Being a cloud-platform, hundreds of users can work on a single budget plan at a time. As a sandbox modeling platform, custom models can be developed to accommodate a host of planning needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for modeling in Anaplan is steep. A Center of Excellence needs to be established and granted autonomy to govern data flow, model interactions, and model building best practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan solves the pain point of budgeting in excel models that are unreliable and prone to version control issues. Anaplan allows end users to see data updated on daily basis from source ERP systems, and inputs from other users are shown in real time. This allows finance teams to build budgets collaboratively and in less time, with less headache / confusion.
