Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan XL Reporting

We use it to create a Balance Sheet Report and a Profit and Loss Report. Also to set up exceptional reporting for our customers. The ease of use is awesome. The integration within Excel allows using all the excel functionalities and more. There is almost a connection type for every data source you can imagine.

Pros

  • Breakouts
  • Grid Calculations
  • View Ports
  • Visuals
  • Formatting Options

Cons

  • Interactivity
  • Web Logging and Auditing
  • Promoting special features "how to"
  • Consolidated 88 Reports to 9
  • Enabled 800 Users access to the reports (Access and distribution).
  • Enabled the switch from actively providing reports to users to actively getting the report themselves.
