Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

In my organization, I am a Model Builder specializing in client implementations. My work focuses on Supply Chain Practice and FP&A. For Supply Chain Practice, I integrate solutions into Demand Planning and Consensus Demand Plan, aiding Supply Planning in performing Statistical Forecasts. In FP&A, I utilize Anaplan to streamline Cash Flow Management, Capex Control, EPS Calculations, and Consolidations within a unified model.

Pros

  • Front end for User interface is great with all the new features introduced
  • Cloudworks for scheduling jobs to make sure Data moved timely and keeping all models active
  • Anaplan prioritizes both clients and partners, consistently enhancing the platform with new features that simplify model building. As a model builder with over six years of experience, I've witnessed firsthand how these improvements have made the process increasingly efficient and user-friendly.

Cons

  • For management reports, please provide some pre-built templates or add more customizable features to enhance reporting capabilities.
  • Ensure the availability of separate Development and Production environments for applications, along with a comprehensive history audit trail for application builds.
  • Improved Decision-Making
  • Centralized Data Management
  • Scalability and Flexibility
  • Implementation Costs are high

  • Anaplan
In my professional experience, I've exclusively worked with Anaplan. The tool's impressive features made learning it an ongoing, engaging process. Its continuous updates and capabilities kept me consistently learning and adapting, so I never felt the need to switch to a different tool. All the implementations that I have done so far, have loved each one of that with happy customers.
