Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
I currently implement Anaplan across a wide range of use cases for various finance industry customers. Some of our customers are in insurance, private equity, real estate development and investment banking, and have all found Anaplan to be incredibly useful. Anaplan has been a great asset for converting these companies' dated and clunky Excel models into a single source of calculations and end user displays. End users are always incredibly satisfied with the ease of use Anaplan brings to their day to day lives over their prior processes.
- Efficient calculation engine
- Ease of use / ease of customer adoption
- Attractive end user displays
- Many requests for new enhancements by the community have been ignored over the years
- End user displays are fairly static and can lack some simple customization
- Scalability
- Data Retention
- Ease of use
- Easy to show similarities to Excel to customers
- Ease of adoption for new users
- Long term benefits of adopting Anaplan over time
