Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

As the EMEA partner of the year, we build lasting relationships with our customers through our deep-domain technical and industry expertise. Use cases I have worked in are FP&A, Supply Chain, CAPEX, and Workforce Planning. We work with companies to genuinely understand the business strategy, objectives, and operational requirements, often bringing departments closer together to expedite business decisions. Most companies find Anaplan provides them with a planning tool [that] provides faster decision-making and more agile decisions through increased visibility and transparency into business drivers. Another benefit is the business synergies Anaplan provides achieved by connecting the models across lines of business to improve business insights.
  • Can handle large amounts of data
  • Planning & reporting
  • Integration
  • Ease of use for end users & model builders
  • Processing time with formula errors
  • Workflow
  • Data Integration
  • CloudWorks
  • User Access
  • Cloud tool
  • Standardized pages / UX
  • Efficient planning
  • Scenario planning
Anaplan allows you to view and slice and dice reports with multi-dimensions rather than a flat 2D view. The iCloud tool is always up to date and lives with a single source of the truth, whereas in Excel [is] difficult to manage, and the performance is much slow[er] when many users are in the file in comparison to Anaplan where many users can access at the same time with no performance issues.
