What do you like best about the product?
High flexibility
Anaplan's high flexibility allows it to replace most of the work done in Excel. It is like writing code.
High Performance
Anaplan can handle huge amounts of data that Excel and spreadsheets cannot handle. If designed well, there is no waiting time.
Quick development
Since a wide variety of components such as functions, batch processing, simple ELT, and AI functions are provided in advance, the system can be developed much faster than if you had to write code from scratch.

What do you dislike about the product?
Fewer graphs
While we already have simple graphs that are commonly used, in rare cases we are unable to meet our client's needs due to graph limitations.

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is a great planning platform which is easy to use and scalable.
Anaplan continues investing in its product roadmap. New products either organically developed like Anaplan Workflow and Data Orchestrator or externally acquired like Fluence provided Anaplan a range of capabilities required in the planning space.
Anaplan has excellent online learning centre. Courses for recently acquired products were developed using the same standard as the Anaplan core courses. This made learning experience easy.
Customer support is easily accessible with new Customer Care portal.

What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan may need to consider drill down functionality. While this can be achieved through different workarounds on UX pages, standard drill down that people are familiar with by expanding and collapsing parent item is good to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan is used to replace Excel-based model for real estate budgeting starting from the asset acquisition, development, and operation. Users can perform scenario analysis easily and hence are able to make informed decisions whether to hold or dispose an asset. Anaplan is able to handle multi-year budgeting easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects of the developer experience could be improved. Knowing what line items are used for what actions could be improved. Also, cloudworks having a snowflake connection would help.
"Toastering" of the model when a bad formula is inputted is very aggravating for users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan real time design is very helpful for our business. They can input their assumptions and see in real time the impact of their plans. This makes it so the tool can always be used as a conversation piece.
Anaplan was able to help allocation use cases, where we didn't previously have a tool to help us with completing large allocations. Users can assign drivers and see the impact in real time, where user's can truly "integrate easily on creating their allocated financials.
Anaplan allows for data to be exported to Power BI, which is helpful for storing data and merging with other data sources in a data lake.

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan's platform continues to evolve in an incredible way. Just in the last 18 months, the following has released: app native workflow, build in data management, AI, brand new tech that builds models for you ("T&Q app"). It's changing what you expect from an EPM tool
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan's pricing can be confusing and opaque. This is due to an evolving platform, technology, and GTM model. Customers from just 3 years ago may have completely different expectations on pricing and that can cause friction. However, the GTM model had to change - the platform, which did not drastically change from 2014-2022, has received an incredible overhaul in terms of technical functionality, and old pricing models did no capture that at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I will specifically answer this question regarding the territory and quota (T&Q) use case. T&Q represents a widespread, needed-everywhere planning problem but it doesn't have any of its own big software players. The reason is that Anaplan is so well-suited to the use case, that you'd waste your time trying to create a bespoke competitor. And Anaplan's offering is only strengthening.
T&Q has the hallmarks needs of planning: nuanced, many disparate data sets, very large data sets, operational and financial considerations, many distributed stakeholders, and consistent collaboration. Anaplan checks each of those boxes an we see it at our customers. Our customers tell us they love a prescriptive approach that they still can own (the new T&Q app comes out of the box), where they can merge what they love about their current process with the best-in-class they need. These streamlined T&Q apps help our customers create fairer territories with better account scoring, build better quotas to set the right incentives and reach the right attainment curve, and do it all significantly faster. Our happiest customer now deploys territories and quota before the yera begins when it previously took them until 6 weeks into Q1.
