Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
Anaplan is currently being used by the sales and FP&A departments for planning. Under sales, models are created to address territory planning, accounts planning, quota management, and forecasts for different job functions. FP&A use cases include capacity, bBudgetin, and forecasting. In the future, Anaplan usage is most likely to expand across different departments in the org including customer support and professional services.
- Single consistent view of data
- Powerful calculation engine
- Extended modeling capabilities
- Less dependency on IT
- Easy to maintain hierarchies
- Time subset is good to have
- Multi-column sorting capability
- Model to model connection across workspaces
Anaplan handles use cases that involves hierarchy in a much more efficient manner compared to any platform. It is also simple to use and doesn't involve much to do with coding or configuration. From a scalability standpoint, Anaplan exceeds expectations in many ways compared to others. Users do not need technical expertise or any prior experience to use the tool and self learning is not a challenge given the resources available.
