Anaplan and Tableau are very different tools. Anaplan is horrible for dashboarding... Anaplan has what-if capability which Tableau does not. What-if capability is pretty much what we're paying for. You can build very similar models in excel and Tableau with greater flexibility. …

Oracle Hyperion is also very powerful but requires much more technical skillset than Anaplan. Deploying Anaplan had a lower barrier to entry and the consistent platform releases meant the product was continuously growing. Being on the cloud also meant we would get updates as …
Implementation time is very less. The end users can learn Anaplan faster and take control of the system without IT support pretty quickly. The logic/formula are straight forward and easy to implement.

Anaplan works well where you have a requirement for complete flexibility, such as in business structure, or in calculation methodology that is bespoke. You can tailor the system to your exact requirements, whereas some products come with pre-built modules that you might …
Each tool has its advantages and disadvantages. Where Anaplan shines compared to the competition is that [it] is capable of covering a large part of functionalities which is usually not the case for the ones above. For example, you are able to load data, input data, have one …

There are few, if any, products like Anaplan. The ability to do connected planning with a global team is invaluable. So many clients have previously used Excel and Access to run global corporations and the amount of errors that are caused by everyone having their own workbook …

I was an admin also in SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation). But, I can say that it's somehow hard to implement. It is not as flexible as Anaplan. I am using Anaplan for years already. This is a game-changer i.e. for Finance people. We were able to easily implement it …
Planful offers a great solution, however, they have significantly underperformed on their annual growth rate. The solution has a lot to offer, however, it is split across two solutions and is not True connected planning. OneStream is growing on a fast trajectory and has an …
I have used SAP BPC and SAC. With relation to BPC, it is more user friendly and easier to maintain. For SAC, it similar but varies when it comes to utilizing the data and setting up for charts

Anaplan allowed us to manage alternate/substitute parts supply allocation better than any other tool. It was able to [perform] fast calculations in the cloud and did not make things difficult by slowing the process down.
Honestly, having implemented Anaplan at another company, I knew it would suit our needs here and convinced management to get the tool on that basis. We already use a mix of Cognos BI, Tableau, and Excel ... but our need was something apart from what those can provide.
Anaplan requires less IT support and its calculation engine is far more powerful. Anaplan is also less expensive when total cost of ownership is considered. We also liked that you're able to use Anaplan for a variety of business planning functions rather than having a bespoke …
QlikView, I do admit, put complete power into the builder's hands. However it was really complex and script heavy. We just didn't have the expertise to deploy properly and it didn't seem as Finance friendly as it still relied heavily on servers sitting behind IT barriers. Qli…
Anaplan was an easy choice because two other divisions in our company used it in limited ways - either only sales ops or financial reporting. In addition, it was the hands down best choice given the complexity and size of our organization. We operate in a highly matrixed …
I would say in terms of getting reports out its the best, but HFM and Hyperion offers a much more integrated set of tools that allow for more granularity.
