"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"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."
"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 scalable."
"There's a moderate amount of scalability available."
"The accounting and inventory management features are valuable."
"In terms of features, GP offers a wide range of strong capabilities, particularly in the financial module."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are field services and the vendor collaboration portal. Both of the features are very good."
"Microsoft Dynamics is very stable."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools."
"Microsoft needs more presence in our region to help with management and maintenance."
"The on-premises and desktop versions are not user-friendly."
"The support here in Turkey could be better. However, the international support is good."
"There are so many errors."
"The product must be made accessible online."
"We experienced some challenges with the mobile apps due to the insufficient processing capacity to handle the workload effectively."
"There is also slowness in database backup."
