Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

We are using it for FP&A. Sales and cost planning by our segment and product use over multiple locations.
  • Fast and easy-to-use standard functions
  • Good master data structures and management
  • Efficient and easy to use new UX
  • Easy tolerant and configure for IR personnel
  • More flexible integration from other source systems
  • Easy to connect to other systems
  • ETL functionality when integrating data from other sources
  • More filters on any sections when configuring lists, module, views, etc. ( Sometimes there are filters, sometimes not, finding names are very hard when there are no filters)
  • Data Sparsity, handling multiple lists and creating concatenations beaches of size issues
  • Syncing is not there yet, when copying a model you need to manually sync the new UX (ALM in UX)
  • Easy and quick implementation time
  • User-friendly UX
  • Quick results thru quick implementation
  • SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)
Easy to implement Easy functions and scripting easy access to any plan more structured learning experience ( self-learning especially, good certification program ( also free unlike SAP ) Handling data inbox sizes is better in SAP No issues of size or data sparsity SAP is catching up with Anaplan in the cloud.
