Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

We use Anaplan for Incentive Compensation, Territory and Quota, Expense, and Revenue Planning and are actively evaluating other use cases. The tool addresses how quickly our business is able to come up with solutions to problems. Anaplan helps perform real-time calculations and reports back to a much wider base of users than with previous tools. Anaplan provides flexibility in how and when our business chooses to grow.

I am a model builder from within our organization and have worked on implementing Incentive Compensation, Revenue Planning, Sales Booking Planning, and other models over the last 5 years. I work actively within Anaplan for about 50% of my time and work with both admins and end-users (an admin can be an end-user). We are continuing to grow our use of Anaplan and connected planning as we get more models online and more users within Anaplan. Information sharing is improved with connected planning and we are looking to see where else in our organization we can leverage Anaplan's product offering both for analysis and reporting.
