Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

Anaplan is being used for our FP&A team in financial planning, forecasting, and metric tracking. We also have Anaplan connected to our Netsuite instance so data flows from Netsuite to Anaplan.
  • Flexibility. It is easy to change attributes and other items in Anaplan.
  • Reliability. The system has had very few glitches over 2 years.
  • Responsiveness. Anaplan support and account teams are very responsive.
  • Pricing model is confusing
  • Best practices and use of Anaplan in FP&A
  • Best practices and uses of Anaplan across the organization
Adaptive Planning and Host Analytics. Anaplan was selected due to its flexibility and ability to do multi-dimensional modeling in a simple and straightforward manner.
Detailed modeling and integration with netsuite\ERP system.
Not so well suited - reporting aspect in Anaplan is lacking.
