Anaplan is a very powerful and flexible modeling tool, however model building and advanced tasks require understanding Anaplan’s unique logic, formulas, and data structures, which can be challenging for new users or those without specialized training. While day-to-day navigation and data input are fairly intuitive for end users, creating, maintaining, and troubleshooting large models can feel complex
