Robust modeling and insightful analytics with growing collaboration

  • October 22, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan does a phenomenal job of modeling data. If you can provide Anaplan the data relationships, it can show you deep insights and allow you to perform extensive scenario analysis. In short, it is the answer to making big data useful. No one sifts through thousands or millions of transactions to see patterns and trends. Anaplan gives you the tool set do it. Additionally, Anaplan is build-to-suit; the answer to 'Can Anaplan do it?' is almost always 'yes'; it can consume and enhance your current data structures as well as provide the foundation for bona fide process transformation.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the nature of the tool promotes collaboration in the planning process through its role functionality, the day-to-day collaboration is not mature yet. There is room to grow in workflow and collaboration-specific functionality (e.g. comments in-platform).
The platform's pricing is based on allocated space, which means that it can change over time and is subject to the data you load and the capabilities that you utilize in the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an implementation partner, I help companies solve a variety of problems with Anaplan. I primarily focus on sales performance management (SPM), so I will comment from that perspective. The most pervasive business problems that are solved by Anaplan are developing and managing territories and setting and adjusting quotas for the sales force. Most organizations lack any type of enterprise-level solution that does this, and the most frequent 'system' that is replaced is Excel. Anaplan provides a single source of truth for territories and targets; it allows for collaboration around that single data set and holistic data analytics that provide insights from an individual sales rep to mid-level managers to executives who oversee regions, business units, and entire organizations. The most potent advantage that is realized is the ability to view high-level KPIs, but to then drill into the details at a low level to understand what is driving them.

Real-Time Updates, multidimensionality, UX have all made it hard for me to even look at a spreadsheet anymore

  • September 29, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's the best tool so far for Analysis and Planning in almost any domain possible. As it's a blank slate, businesses can design it as per their needs, the domains they are into and the existing process that they are following.
Also, Anaplan is coming with new features now and then to progressively improvise the tool to the best of customer's needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
That it does not have a function for "today's date".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am driving organizations in their transformational journey from purely manual or excel based to automation by understanding the business trends and analysis readily available in Anaplan.
