Overall Satisfaction with IBM Planning Analytics with Watson

IBM Planning Analytics has made financial planning very well manageable. Came in very well to solve business in terms of data collection and management. Planning on budget levels is quite an extensive mode. We also use it very well for better organization of the organization well in forecasting.
  • Making data collection and data analysis very intuitive
  • Beautiful reports created for easy use later
  • Prediction and planning is what it does on perfection
  • I can't say there are changes needed it is working as designed to.
  • Making use of resources very well to ensure auditing is more simplified
  • Making it in order to work on budget to perform all activities
  • Data analysis is no longer hectic
The best in planning as the organization has a lot that happens without having planned or budgeted for. It is always good to have a set order on what to do in any unpredictable scenario. Ensures no extra costs are taken to manage any situation. This is very economical.

Its overall support is 100% as long as you first follow the given guidelines on every feature and where to install it. The systems we used to plug in were not selective, they worked very well for us. Though it may not work well on all windows. It is not expensive to deploy.
The features happen to be direct and easy to flow. The tool is well customized and very integrative and this is one reason for easy usability. [It] also has different designs to shift to and makes it even more unique so every result produced by it is great. On reporting it's very detailed but well defined on every single entity.
I haven't heard anyone not recommending IBM Planning Analytics. The order of the name says it all, it is well designed for planning and analysis of data and finances in accounting. It enables [the] collection of data from very many sources all-inclusive [and] gives a very detailed, accurate report.
