Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

Anaplan is used for workforce planning. It was rolled out to key FP&A users to perform planning inputs. Anaplan reduces the time for the users to calculate and consolidate payroll costs from all cost centers. It also enables faster load of employee data from the HR system and secured access to the planning system.

Pros

  • Real-time payroll costs calculation
  • Role-based access to the system

Cons

  • Drill down functionality. Users were used to doing this by expanding or collapsing parent item while Anaplan workarounds this by synchronizing hierarchies or through custom filters
  • Users spend more time on analysis
  • Reduced planning cycle
Anaplan is easy to use. Great tool to learn for someone who is familiar with excel modelling.
  • SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)
Anaplan offers faster performance. The modelling tool is user oriented.
