Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

Anaplan is used by our finance department and investment deal team. It helps give us visibility about our portfolio and our financial performance. It gives us the ability to see high-level overviews, but also drill down into specifics and do deep analysis.
  • Robust tool that allows for many different types of analysis
  • Cross-departmental/functional visibility
  • Easy to use
  • Sales process is very involved and has a lot of touch
  • High price point
  • Takes a while to fully implement
Many other tools are more light weight and cheaper, but do not have a robust underlying platform like Anaplan. Anaplan is suited to work across an entire organization and integrates well with a lot of the business products that we are currently using. The other solutions in the market do not have out-of-the-box modules that would be a fit for our business.
Anaplan is great for large teams that need visibility across many functions. Executives/high level managers love it because it gives them insight into how the organization is performing. It is less suited for small teams -- they are better suited to use more lightweight and less expensive tools.
