Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"The solution scales well."
"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 strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"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 a mature product."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"A valuable feature is FSCM."
"I like the speed of the processing and how easy it is to use."
"In general, this solution is user friendly and also performs well. There are two types of forms. One is a standardized form, which you can define things into. The other, you can customize so more repetition can be done in an even manner. That way, it can be designed for what the public or user actually wants. It's not very tough for any person, or layman to understand exactly what the screen requires one to do."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules"
"The solution's scalability is good."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"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."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"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."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"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."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation."
"My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
