Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
Anaplan is used across our organisation. The use cases that I am familiar with are related for Finance, i.e. Budgeting & Forecasting, Workforce Planning, & Revenue Planning. All of our BUs are onboarded to Anaplan for the creation of our Annual Operating Plan while only a fraction use it for Forecasting. This number is expected to grow as we continue to build out features for our Forecast model. Currently, we are implementing models for Workforce Planning and expect to build out our Revenue model in mid to late 2024. The Workforce Planning model is expected to be used by all BUs for Budgeting & Forecasting cycles while the Revenue model will be piloted for one BU.
- Anaplan is flexible, meaning it can be built to accommodate almost all business use cases
- Implementations are quick - delivery of MVP products and phased enhancements is ideal
- The UX is user friendly and Finance users enjoy the similarity of features to excel (like pivot, filter, etc)
- Anaplan continues to enhance its product and listen to its customers / community
- Audit Reporting - it's currently difficult to use / read the audit reports
- Security - security is not centralised & too broad (actively being worked on)
- Data Integration / Management - data management and orchestration could be centralised (actively being worked on)
- We are able to submit plans at least a day before deadline now.
