Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

We implement Anaplan for Alternative Investment clients who are looking to solve planning and modelling challenges.
  • Handling complexity
  • Visualisation
  • Customisable
  • The launched Management Reporting feature is excellent but it needs a 'snap to grid' functionality
  • The recently updated Model Builder view could do more around better displaying formula syntax
  • Customisability
  • Flexibility in handling data sources
  • Speed to implementation
  • Anaplan has driven tremendous efficiencies and clarity for its clients
  • I have witnessed Anaplan transform the careers of many, including my own
  • Anaplan has also dramatically reduced risk of spreadsheet errors with its robust solution
Anaplan always comes out top for me for its ability to meet any client's needs

Did implementation of Anaplan go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Anaplan again?

Anaplan is extremely well suited to planning use cases involving multiple stakeholders both reviewing and entering assumptions, combined with complex logic. Anaplan can also perform reporting tasks but it is not a financial consolidation tool.
