Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

We use Anaplan to create Financial Reports, Business [processes], and Workflow. Initially, we tried using Anaplan to create automation that we previously built using .Net Studio and MS Excel. Since it's a cloud-based platform and it's easy to learn and implement that's why we were really interested in trying it. Now we use it more than any of the other tools we used before, it became our main option when it comes to software or automation development.
  • Charts and Reports
  • Accessibility, you only need a browser and internet connection
  • Ease of deployment, with ALM capability
  • Data Integration to other platforms
  • Workspace size issues
  • System Limitations
  • Doesn't require high technical expertise to be able to build a model.
  • Cloud based
  • Can handle complex calculations
  • Ease of access for data and reports
  • Publish and implementation is quick and easy
  • With user access restrictions
I was a .Net developer before I used Anaplan. If I compare Anaplan to .Net, Anaplan doesn't need any hardcoding. You only need to understand formulas not syntax. It's easy and fun to learn and explore.
