We performed a comparison between Anaplan and SAP Business One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."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."
"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."
"The solution scales well."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"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 best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"For us, the most useful feature of Business One is Material Requirements Planning (MRP)."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is all the functionality of the modules together. It is a full-featured solution."
"The documentation part and the user manuals provided by SAP are quite comprehensive."
"The most valuable feature of Business One depends on the industry. Generally speaking, Business One works best in automotive industry use cases."
"The SAP Business One is simple and it provides us the control we need."
"The solution is stable."
"All parts for inventory control, project budget, accounting, and business information are valuable. It is very friendly to obtain information. It is also very easy to make the changes that we need. We have a developer with us, and he can make the required changes or rules."
"Technical support is quite good. They are helpful and responsive. We are quite satisfied with their level of support."
"The tool needs to work on its integration with MS Excel and MS Word. The tool does not allow data analysis in spreadsheets which is possible on other platforms. I want the solution to be more collaborative to facilitate decision-making in organizations."
"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."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"The solution can improve by providing an easier form of integration to different platforms, such as receiving data from different Salesforce. There is a process to do it through the use of some APIs but it could be made much easier. This would be a large help to us."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"In terms of business processes, the production could use improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing HR payroll, quality control, and maintenance. These are the missing features which we have to use add-ons solutions to provide the functionality."
"You get support through the vendor, not SAP directly. If your vendor is good, you get good support. If it is not a good vendor, the support is very bad."
"I am not sure if it has an HR and Payroll functionality, but it would be helpful and make it a more complete ERP if they could put the HR and Payroll functionality in it."
"There is no dependency, the integration between the other applications."
"The solution could improve by having some added authentication, such as SAP CC or SAP S4HANA."
"There are issues with inventory management and quality management."
"It is limiting in terms of the in-between communication for manufacturing. We are suffering from a lot of issues in production. We are now considering S/4HANA, and we are also looking for some customized tools to integrate with SAP Business One."
