Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"Technical support has been good."
"Where we're seeing the opportunity in the market is at the Fortune 100 companies that have far more complex modeling type scenarios where you need to be able to have a lot of people collaborating together, and you need a lot of information all at everyone's fingertips. This is where you see the big advantage of a solution like Anaplan."
"The most valuable feature of Anaplan is machine learning. The solution is constantly evolving from feedback. Additionally, there is a wide range of training material online."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"Anaplan integrates well into my clients' core systems. The ability to aggregate the forms within the dashboarding is also useful. Only one of my clients has implemented workflow. Their usage has been very light. Dashboarding capability is probably the biggest one. My clients like having the ability to aggregate, slice and dice, and dynamically adjust things in the dashboards."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"Most of them who use Infor LN have add-ons connected to ERP. It's either a supplier exchange, or they've got sales problems that are integrated with it."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"The dashboard could be better. Because within a dashboard or report, you have to do a lot of scrolling. You need to scroll down because the table doesn't fit in a single view. That's why even the users aren't happy with that kind of user experience. They need to scroll to see all the data, and it could be better if it fits in just one page. That way, you can see everything. In the next release, I want automation that's connected to Anaplan. For example, to load master data from SAP to Anaplan. I don't know if this already exists, but a log where you can see the progress and see if there's an error will also help. It would be better to give you the error message, for example, if there is an error within the automated process importing to Anaplan."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
