Find out in this report how the two Production Planning solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"I am impressed with the tool’s real-time calculations and intuitive interface. The tool’s user interface is the best compared to other software that I have worked with. I also find the tool’s management reporting feature valuable."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"The tool is valuable for its rich set of functionalities and stability. The solution is stable. The customer service and support is good."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are the flexibility of the configuration, it is highly configurable. It is not rigid as other solutions, such as SAP. They have recently added a custom workflow approach and approval workflows."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is the flashback it quickly takes you to the data browser. Additionally, one of the newer tools is the orchestrator which is very good."
"The solution’s Accounts Payable and Procurement modules are the most stable and quite useful compared to other finance modules."
"The product can scale."
"The solution is very customizable according to business needs."
"Its user interface and ease of navigation are valuable."
"I think it is strong in sales, inventory, and pricing."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"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."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"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."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"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 Fixed Asset module is not desirable because it is complicated."
"They have been improving it every day, but it could have more automation."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne could improve the speed because sometimes it takes time to load into the environment. This is typical when the ESU patch packages are used."
"Lacking in certain areas of support."
"The only issue with the solution that it yet to consider improvements in its price."
"Financial side could be expanded by bringing in things like the IMS."
"I haven't come across any downsides just yet."
"The product’s pricing should be improved."
