Most Anaplan implementations help teams get out of the pains of Excel. I have used Anaplan for FP&A, Project Planning, Inventory Planning, and Territory and Quota Planning.

Software that enhances your business's productivity and growth potential

A very flexible and powerful tool
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that Anaplan can be tailored to almost any type of business problem is fantastic. This makes it a great tool for almost any use case. The tool is also very powerful and I have built calculations that would have taken hours to run in legacy systems which are more or less 'instantly' (make a change, takes about 1 second to flow through) processed. I'm talking HUGE corporate processes and things like that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customized reporting at a very low level with lots of members and dimensions can lead to size considerations. Reporting needs should be thought out prior to starting reporting sprints. Reporting that assists in the planning process is always worthwhile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems I have solved with Anaplan run the gamete of corporate use cases, from Biopharma to Oil and Gas. It really can do anything. The biggest benefit in my humble opinion is the time savings realized by using Anaplan. Employees can focus on other more important tasks versus constantly trying to compile data for forecasts as Anaplan removes a lot of this legwork.

Scalability
Integrations
Scalability
Integrations
What do you dislike about the product?
Processing times can often take a while, depending on the amount of data that was put into the tool. It's essential that customers understand that this is a calculation engine and not a reporting tool or data storage tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manually intensive work for backfilling actuals as well as operational tasks that were previously managed in Excel. Users previously worked ~900 hours over the span of the year to get data in Excel, but Anaplan has helped them SIGNIFICANTLY decrease that time.
