Evaluating Anaplan and Competitors

Yes - Microsoft Excel -- wasn't powerful enough, didn't have enough security, wasn't able to facilitate business process without significant VBA, etc. Anaplan was a much better fit for purpose tool for the use case we needed. Anaplan also better supports integrations, data warehousing, etc. all of which Microsoft excel could do but with significant workarounds
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
