Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
Anaplan is being used at my organization for incentive compensation management and bonus tracking. Anaplan has streamlined our commission process dramatically. Prior to implementing Anaplan our previous commission cycle took nearly 45 days. We are now able to complete our commission cycle in 12 days. Anaplan improved accuracy, transparency and overall user experience dramatically.
The reason why we chose Anaplan is it is a very flexible software yet extremely efficient and allows me to make changes to our plan without having to work with software engineers to do so.

Pros
- Very easy to customize access views and add additional users
- Creating and publishing and creating new customized dashboards
- Efficiency and calculation accuracy. Love the drill down feature.
Cons
- Anaplan claims that it will totally replace Excel and it is not there yet. But it is an extremely powerful tool.
- Sorting and alphabetizing reports in Anaplan is not good.
- Adding simple subtotals to reports should be very easy but not in all scenarios.
Xactly, Iconixx, Callidus - each of these solutions did not allow me, the administrator to make dramatic changes to our plan. System wasn't as flexible as needed it to be. We are a high growth company and we need to make changes very quickly. Couldn't work with a system that required engineers to make changes for me.
