Overall Satisfaction with IBM Planning Analytics

we are using for capex planning, Head count planning, Infra allocations, cost allocations, revenue planning, financial reporting, management reporting. we also used for month end reporting, forecast planning and long range planning. This tool will help us to load transactional data in to the system.
  • consolidation
  • allocations
  • forecast planning
  • not good front end user interface
  • not easy to debug
  • organizing in to groups for processes
  • saved time for reporting instead of multiple sources
  • company level planning
  • easy for subsidiaries to submit data at high level
it is good for analyzing perspective for management and also analyst.
  • Oracle Hyperion (discontinued) and SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)
