Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

Internally, Anaplan is used for planning forecasts in regard to staffing. Each employee enters a forecast of allocated time to projects which are tracked against budgets. Actuals are sourced in from another source system. This provides management insight to budget vs actuals, staffing needs, and forecasting capabilities. Project managers have visibility into the project budget overtime.

Do you think Anaplan delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Anaplan's feature set?

Yes

Did Anaplan live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Anaplan go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Anaplan again?

Yes

Anaplan can really address any planning needed within an organization. People can start to see the value when there is reports already available that users can slice and dice to their liking. I think Anaplan wouldn't fit a company that is resistant to change and would not be able to support ongoing enhancements or troubleshoot issues.
