Overall Satisfaction with IBM Planning Analytics with Watson
We used IBM PAW for the planning and analysis of Sales ROI, Financial Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting. It helped us to make better business decisions regarding our current and future investments. We also used PAW for inventory planning and forecasting, which helped us to reduce a lot of inventory costs and improve our ROI.
Pros
- Natural language processing.
- Predictive analytics.
- Financial planning.
Cons
- Documentation and tutorials.
- Pricing.
- Speed of implementation.
- Better decision making.
- Cost saving.
- Improved forecast accuracy.
We extensively used Scenario planning to understand various situations pertaining to our inventory and free cash flows during the pandemic. It provided us with great insights, analytics and visualization based on our existing data. We were able to make a lot of cost-effective decisions based on the predictive analytics provided by IBM PAW.
We chose IBM PAW over Anaplan as well as SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) because of the technical support that we got from IBM. They were extremely helpful and patient with us and helped us to realize better ROI from their platform. Apart from that, we were aware that IBM's predictive analytics capabilities are unmatched in the market
