Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

Our company moved completely from the standard locally stored data into Anaplan Cloud solution. It improved a lot the whole process of transforming source data into financial results. Many aspects of the daily job were enhanced - security, managing ability, accuracy, scalability, efficiency. I'd like to recommend Anaplan to all those people that need a solution having a database + calculation functions on big sets of data.
  • Flexibility.
  • Scalability.
  • Cloud experience.
  • Access management
  • Hearing community.
  • Multi purpose usage
  • Customer satisfaction was much improved.
Anaplan is a way more efficient solution that SAP BW. Performance of Anaplan beats SAP definitely and people prefer to use Anaplan more than SAP. It's much easier to adopt Anaplan which is easy than SAP which needs some experience before using it efficiently. Generally Anaplan is more pleasant to operate on than SAP BW.

Anaplan is well suited for all the cases where the data sets need to be fully compatible without losing any numbers in between. If somebody had a database where numbers and master data are stored and wanted to use this data for calculations in many different aspects, then Anaplan would definitely be for him.
