Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

Anaplan is being used in my organization as planning and forecasting tool. 4 years ago we had the need to improve and digitalize our budgeting and forecasting process, and since then the implementation impacted a big and positive change, by creating a change management culture, procesess improvement, and focusing on analysis rather than creating reports.
  • Collect data and contribution.
  • Immediate and accessible data.
  • Change management culture creation.
  • Graphics, Charts or dashboards can be improved.
  • API for Data connections is a little bit primitive, it would be great to have an inside and more friendly application.
  • Although anaplan has an agreement with Google Docs, anaplan does not have an inside option to share documents - it is a big con.
We selected anaplan because it does not need IT support, and because of its flexibility, adaptability.
For me, the things that makes anaplan a great option are: Flexibility, selfs services, quick implementation.
