Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
We use Anaplan to set up plans, forecast, perform analysis of actuals, reconcile and visualize data. We use throughout different departments in the company to replace old legacy systems, huge Excel workbooks, and manually-maintained planning scenarios. Apart from that, thanks to the capabilities Anaplan has, new projects are started, and connected planning can be realized between geos, functions, and systems.
- Connected planning
- Multi dimensional data cubes
- Easy development & maintainance
- Difficult formula manipulation for developers
- Version control doesn't allow for branching
- More clear and fair pricing
- Connected planning
- Cloud-based
- Easy development
- Free e-Learning and on-demand courses
- Less man-hours needed to plan and analyze data
- More standard reports that last years, and don't change from month to month
- Users understanding data more thanks to visualizations and pivot
All these tools have different applications. Anaplan provides [the] ability to enter data online, directly to the precise cells, then to manipulate this data easily (Power BI can only present data). It allows for easy pivoting and visualizations of huge data sets and enforces strict control over formulas (Excel is not great at these fields).
