Anaplan is wonderful
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility. As a partner I would say there are very few things I would tell a customer you can't do. The question is always "do we have the time to accomplish everything you want?" The answer is probably not so let's focus on the mission critical items that get the most bang for your buck.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new UX looks better, but doesn't function as well as the old UX. The fact that the cards are locked to a size makes it difficult to scale the same dashboard for people who see only a few items versus people who see thousands of items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving Sales Performance Management (SPM) use cases. The greatest benefit is connected planning. Instead of companies using 100s of Excel spreadsheets that get passed around and altered, the logic is set and everyone can see what they are supposed to see and only edit what they are supposed to edit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give yourself time to do a proper implemenation and think of Anaplan as a living software. You shouldn't try to do everything you want when you first get it. Get the most important pieces correct and then iterate on the design.
Reliable Cloud-Based Planning Platform
What do you like best about the product?
As a cloud-based planning platform, Anaplan has strong release management that, from my experience, there is no major problem encountered after scheduled platform updates. It underlines the benefits of having a cloud-based solution.
Training materials are great as they are built around different use cases to emphasize the Connected Planning message.
Anaplan Community is strong where one can post questions/ideas and expect responses from peers.

Anaplan in Supply Planning at Weston Foods
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is very flexible and easy to change to suit the business requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
The revision tag sync process is difficult for multiple developments at the same time. Because partial changes can be synced along with an urgent fix.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan was implemented to allow for a single supply planning process. This standardization makes it easier for planners to cover each other.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start small and build up. Don't try to tackle every single business requirement in the first implementation.

Easy collaboration, quick deployment is the need for ERP solutions, all provided by anaplan.
Anaplan, best modelling tool for collaboration and flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is almost as flexible as Excel. You can pretty much model anything you want and without the need to write scripts. Anaplan is probably the most flexible modelling tool on the market. This means people can stick to their models and don't have to conform to any other standard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just like Excel it is affected by the numbers of cells used in the model. Fortunately, we are talking here of billions of cells before running into any sort of issues but still. It would be great not having to worry about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration is drastically improved. People don't need to send each other spreadsheets or worry about formula errors. Multiple stakeholders can access the platform simultaneously but can only see the data they have access to. The calculations happen live without the need to refresh nor save anything.
