What do you like best about the product?

Model Customization - It truly is an open box. This can be a double edge sword if not implemented right, or if requirements are not understood during development, but otherwise this allows for great flexibility in how things could be planned.

Traceability- With formula drill downs, input cell user history, and model history there are a multitude of ways to track and audit end figures in Anaplan. This is nice sitting in a finance team.

What do you dislike about the product?

Two major sticking points for me, Cube size and lack of ALM in the UX.

Cube Size - Unless you use Anaplan's Polaris models, it can become cumbersome to have many (or large) dimensions planned together. This can lead to size restraints, resorting to managing composite/concatenated list structures.

No ALM in the UX - Currently there is not a way to publish dashboard changes to a DEV environment, and then push them seamlessly to a UAT or PROD environment. As a result, it requires copying pages & repointing them - as an alternative of publishing changes across all Dev/UAT/Prod UX pages simultaneously.

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

Consistnency in planning - creates a standard structure in how forecasting is done, minimizing disparate/disconnected processes.
