Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"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."
"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."
"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 provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"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 real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"Every year, they release a new version."
"I like the ease of setup and customization of forms."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is that it works according to how the Internet works."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"I am impressed with the product's ease of use. It also helps us reduce the techstack."
"There are so many business rules to set up in the system that as a business user it's hard to gauge what they're doing and it's possible to get lost."
"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 price of the solution can improve."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"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."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. Multiple manufacturing features need to be updated on NetSuite. More functionalities need to be added. I think there are a lot of functionalities coming out for warehouse management systems and manufacturing automation via advanced manufacturing functionalities. I think they need to improve a little more on those aspects and make it easier on the scheduling aspect."
"Improvement-wise, it should be more customizable. Currently, you can't enhance the product yourself in terms of development for any applications unless you've got a very strong and big development team. Those are the skills that are in very short supply."
"The communication has been peculiar, and the overall commercial process has been less than satisfactory."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"NetSuite ERP's UI could be improved. There are some features that are very complex that do not have to be. There are some aspects of the solution that could be simplified and this can include the documentation. Since it's a very complex tool, you expect to have great detailed documentation to help you implement it."
"Many features such as local taxation and fund management are not there yet."
