"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"I believe Anaplan is a new cloud tool, and from time to time, there's a lot of improvement that the Anaplan company deploys with the system. So, with that improvement, we need to really adapt and know the new system trends."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"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."
"Anaplan's in-memory calculation engine is super-fast compared to the old tools we previously used. You enter the data and everything shows up in one go."
"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."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"I often say that PeopleSoft's greatest feature is how customizable it is."

"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"Anaplan's workflow component is probably the biggest area for improvement. I'd also like to see Anaplan add an ad hoc reporting tool that allows users to query things. It's going to factor into how you design your data set and your models, but I'd like the ability to create ad hoc queries against the data that's in there."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity. That can act against you as a negative because it does require a model builder or a coder/developer."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"Tools and UI could be enhanced."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."

"Agile system configurations to accommodate business dynamics."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
