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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
-Cost of data volume can be expensive; using the POLARIS feature should considered when if dealing with large multi-dimensional (>10 dimensions with over 1000 members in each dimension) sparce data sets
-Due to the customization of the platform to your specific business use case and requirements, the initial implementation will require the definition and testing of those requirements by the business
-Reporting capability is good, but due to cost of data storage, has to be limited in some cases to only the timescale necessary for planning purposes

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan is allowing our company to plan for multiple business use cases within the same platform and integrate the planning data between use cases. This means that business users interface with one planning tool regardless of if they are planning for supply chain, workforce, SG&A, CAPEX, Sales Volumes, Sales Territories, etc. The flexibility of Anaplan and the ability to maintain Master Data within the tool has also allowed us to create planning and reporting structures that tie in mulitple source ERP systems.
A great value add tool to any business process where decisions rely on solid and accurate data.
What do you like best about the product?
It's flexibility as a tool and it's potential in many different areas of the business. It combines good data analytics with great user interface for planning. If built correctly it's fast, easy to use and reliable.
The flexibility also extends to implementation scope and speed. If the criteria of implementation changes mid way through the project Anaplan has the features and flexibility to deal with almost every change thrown at it.
They have a great learning platform that help speed up the understanding of Anaplan for both business users and future model builders, which greatly empowers the business users to keep the tool up to date.
Anaplan is a type of system which, if implemented successfully, sells itself inside the company, the more functions you get on the platform the larger the benefit of having such a platform can be achieved. It is very simple to integrate and synchronize different areas of Anaplan models between each other, like make your supply chain application deliver data automatically to jour finance application, doing away with long e-mail chains of finding the correct version of the plan to use. It also extends to 3rd party sources, Anaplan supports easy integration possibility with dedicated analytics tools or allows for a simple integration with source systems. It's fast and reliable and does not ask a lot of IT resources to set up.
Once implemented Anaplan becomes a daily source of truth for the functions using it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Their user management, specifically when it comes to licensing, can sometimes be a bit difficult to follow and properly track in the system. Although there have been good improvements lately with enhancements to global User Management views it still lacks an easy overview of contracted licenses vs used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan standartizes the planning process, it makes data (especially results) transparent for the management team. Due to primarily replacing Excel-based planning processes it unlocks the possibility to work with more data and larger granularity of data faster. And not only that it allows that within a cross functional model where you might have multiple departments and business functions working in a seamless live model.
With it's ML Timeseries forecasting capabilities and Linear Optimizer Anaplan can solve very complex business problems quickly across multiple functions although these two primarily have a direct impact on Demand Planning and Supply Chain, that then is passed down to finance or other parts of the business using the system.
You can also see buggs and user errors in the planning cycle dramatically decrease after implementing Anaplan. It's flexible enough so that the platform can be built around your business process, but the user interface can be made strict enough to ensure correct entries and reduction of user errors.

Anaplan, the ultimate tool for success!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease and efficiency of use, it allows people to spend less time planning and more time with their friends and family.
What do you dislike about the product?
When the model locks down it can lock for long periods of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allows my customers to have a multi-dimensional platform with the ability to make an input once and leverage these inputs/calculations many different times. As my clients have expanded thei footprint within Anaplan they are know able to not only pull each other's data/results and work extremely more efficently.
