Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

We use Anaplan for Project Management, Hiring and Time Sheet Management. We've around 3000+ Employees directly using this tool for Time sheet filling and hiring activities. Anaplan has been able to help us to bring this many employees at the single platform and do all the collaboration. Anaplan has been a good tool but lacks reporting capabilities and as the model becomes big, its difficult to manage the space and optimization.

Anaplan is easy to implement and use and provides a lot of flexibility over other tools. Solution in anaplan can be developed by a limited set of model builders and can easily implemented if build properly and understanding the business problem. Anaplan is a good tool for Planning solutions and not very good for reporting purposes

Well suited for Sales Planning, Forecasting, Budgeting and not well for Project Management. Anaplan is a planning tool so it best suits for the Planning and similar use cases where there are limited set of users but it does not behave good if we have many users on the platform, it sometimes shows performance issues and also the space limitations and Anaplan is a costly tool.
