Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our use of Anaplan continues to evolve as our business grows. Currently we utilize Anaplan for Territory Quota Planning, Renewal Planning, Sales Bookings Planning, Revenue and Expense Planning and Modeling, Incentive Compensation Management, Travel & Expense Analysis, Fixed Asset Analysis, Prepaid Expense and Compensation Capitalization, as well as other smaller use cases. We utilize integrations and a datahub for streamlined inputs into our respective models and maintain ALM as needed for models that require more complex changes and maintenance.

Usability

I think that Anaplan has room for improvement and needs to better address existing community concerns before releasing newer products. Anaplan struggles with maintaining and listening to community feedback in their ecosystem.
