Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan XL Reporting

We use XLCubed for the analysis and reporting of our consolidated group financials. The reports are developed and maintained in the finance department. The IT department is responsible for operating the IT infrastructure and interfaces. In addition to standard reporting, XLCubed is also used for ad-hoc analyses and the creation of dashboards.

Pros

  • Good and flexible Excel bases UI for report creation.
  • Simple and easy to use web interface for report consumption.
  • Very good online help for newbies and power user.

Cons

  • Error messages are not easy to understand for fincance people.
  • Error handling (in case of missing user rights...) can't be customized.
  • iOS App for report consumption should be replaced by pure HTML solution.
  • Easy to learn for new users.
  • Quick adoption.
  • Pure data connected reporting.
I am happy with the usability. There is always some room for improvement
