Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
We use Anaplan for a variety of finance use cases, including budgeting, management reporting, and long-range planning. One example of a problem Anaplan addressed was numerous excel files that were difficult to keep consistent in [the] process or roll up to summary reporting in a timely manner. Anaplan's real-time nature and cloud-based dashboards that can be used across the department keep everyone on the same page and with updated information.
- Real-time updates - An entry on one dashboard will automatically flow to other relevant areas of the model
- Continuous improvement of the product based on feedback from customers
- Ease of use for both end users and model builders
- The new UX does not handle transaction drill-downs the same as the classic UX and should be brought to parity with the old setup.
- The system can lock for several minutes for minor errors from a model builder, such as writing a true/false formula without updating the format to boolean.
- Flexibility - We can make changes in-house based on changing business needs
- Real-time updates
- Customization to handle our unique needs
- Each dashboard often saves hours of work per week or month for the individuals that used to have to recreate such dashboards manually on a recurring basis.
- The budget window has reduced significantly because it is easier to plan and roll up results across our account and organization hierarchy.
- We were able to move to more metric-based planning, requiring less manual work and improving accuracy.
