Anaplan - A great EPM platform
What do you like best about the product?
From a partner's perspective, it is so easy to learn the programming language. From a user perspective, I like how easy it is to update front-end pages when I want to have a specific view.
What do you dislike about the product?
The company is growing quickly, and sometimes they might not keep up with the client requirements. But they seem to always push for more which is fantastic. So far, there wasn't a problem for which they didn't have an immediate solution or a workaround. So that's great
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm helping clients by making internal business processes faster and more efficient. You enable decision making avoiding the number-crunching that usually takes place when you use a more labor-intensive tool such as Excel.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a medium or large sized company that stil uses Excel for it's planning, budgeting and forecasting process, Anaplan is a great tool for unifying your processes, disrupting the department silos and enable collaboration for a faster and better business process within your company.

What do you dislike about the product?
The new user experience promises long-term benefits like mobile use and cross-platform use, but it still needs to be improved in terms of functionality to allow for the same pros that the old interface had.
For example, the amount of data can fit into a new user experience page is considerably lower compared to oldinterface dashboards.

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.

Helping clients acheieve greater efficencies by automating a lot of the work they are doing in excel in anaplan.

Powerful, Scalable, Customizable Business Planning Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is highly customizable and can solve varied business problems. As an implementation consultant, this allows me to not only solve for current business needs but also help end-users think about any future issues they can solve with the tool. It helps drive consistency between disparate business groups and easily scales alongside the business, and is easy to pick up for both users and system administrators.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it can handle enormous volumes of data, there is still room to improve calculation scaling. However, similar to Excel, since it is highly flexible, the problems typically stem from not following best practices rather than actual problems with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan is helping businesses solve many problems, including consolidating disparate business processes, eliminating inconsistent spreadsheets, and bringing together various planning groups. In addition, it supports use cases (FP&A, SPM, Supply Chain) across nearly all enterprise business functions. I've been a part of several successful implementations and see many more down the road, both with current and new users.
