Continues to enhance planning
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan drives value and lessens time to decision. It's powerful calculation engine can handle complex logic, and it's intuitive user interface enhances usability but also tells a story. This allows organizations to clearly follow along even the most complex processes. Being able to calculate intricate formulas with vast arrays of data, and then clearly tell that story on a board or management page, is a feature that sets Anaplan apart. It is also scalable. With the right team, connected planning will become the rule instead of the exception at any commited organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some intuitive model building items that Anaplan could improve with, such as inherent time or dimension filtering that transcend having to build certain functionality to need. Additionally, while customer support is extremely helpful, the error messaging could improve and allow more troubleshooting on it's own. For example, the calculation process running in the midst of an erroneous formula can add extra time to making seemigly quick updates on the back end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One problem Anaplan is solving for us now is how to dynamically plan data on a daily level, while quickly aggregating to monthly views for analytical purposes. Previously, our client was unable to do this efficiently. Once they did get the correct views, they lost access to much of the daily & transactional level detail that drove the results. Anaplan fixed this issue seamlessly. This has allow for better forecasting, less stress during month end, and better decision making.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Anaplan as a solution for any business. The benefits are limitless, and the interface is friendly and easy to use. You will instantly see benefits if you have dedicated personnel helping implement and maintain. Clean data and a clear roadmap & vision are essential to successfully using this tool.
