Overall Satisfaction with IBM Planning Analytics

In our organization, we make a PoC in the beginning of the year.

Pros

  • modern UI

Cons

  • easier installation (container?)
  • installation without Admin rights on the system
  • IBM Planning Analytics gives my organization a better look into the future
To me, the most valuable capability of IBM Planning Analytics is the possibility to use cubes and combine the data with additional data
In my experience, IBM Planning Analytics capabilities allow the combination with future dates, forecast, which we could not do before.

Do you think IBM Planning Analytics delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with IBM Planning Analytics's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Planning Analytics live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of IBM Planning Analytics go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy IBM Planning Analytics again?

Yes

In my opinion, I am likely to tell a colleague that IBM Planning Analytics looks very good, but our company has actually no money for it
