Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
Currently Anaplan is used to help forecast revenue but plans are to use it for other purposes.
Also help clients implement Anaplan for various use cases including FP&A processes (planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting) and modeling, sales performance management, and operational modeling.

Pros
- Anaplan is a very flexible modeling tool that can be used in almost any business situation. It is truly a platform for modeling and analysis within an organization.
- Anaplan can easily be managed and evolved by the business user.
- Anaplan has good visualization of data and information and processes calculations and updates in real time.
Cons
- Reporting capabilities need to be enhanced, especially for the FP&A user where structured / formatted reporting is needed.
- With Anaplan's flexibility comes the potential to lose control of the models and recreate an 'Excel hell' type of situation. I think Anaplan needs to provide more life cycle management tools and capabilities.
Anaplan has a broader use possiblity, real time updates, better modeling capabilities, and ease of use.
