Anaplan is much more user-friendly to architect than Hyperion or TM1/Planning Analytics. By outsourcing cloud storage to Anaplan, much of the headache of maintaining internal servers is removed. The calculation speed and traceability of Anaplan's calculation modules are also significantly better than its competition. Auditing dataflows in Hyperion and PA is extensively cumbersome. The learning curve for Anaplan development is much more gradual than other platforms as well, so new support users can quickly pick up the basics of sustaining a planning application.
