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."
"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."
"Anaplan's most valuable features are that it's a no-coding platform, everything can be scaled to your other functions, and it's easy to learn and use (especially because Anaplan provides excellent interactive training)."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"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."
"Technical support has been good."
"The most valuable feature of Business One depends on the industry. Generally speaking, Business One works best in automotive industry use cases."
"The solution offers a structured view and is useful for the top management. The top management finds it organized and structured. It is stable and gives you fewer headaches as an IT manager."
"It offers users a rather simple interface."
"This is the most efficient ERP that is in the market right now."
"It's simple to use and very direct."
"Add-ons that can be implemented are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is all the functionality of the modules together. It is a full-featured solution."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the ability to manage your entire business with one software package."
"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."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"Anaplan's workflow component is probably the biggest area for improvement. I'd also like to see Anaplan add an ad hoc reporting tool that allows users to query things. It's going to factor into how you design your data set and your models, but I'd like the ability to create ad hoc queries against the data that's in there."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"The solution could improve by adding HR and payroll, and consolidation should be included by default."
"In SAP Business One, customization can be made easier...I would tell those planning to use the solution that though it is a good solution, it might not be a complete solution since there are some missing features in it."
"SAP Business One could be improved if SAP creates one platform to integrate different solutions, particularly having a multi-company concept rather than having different databases. The solution could be similar to SAP S/4 Hana and the SAP Business ByDesign concept."
"They have a web client now. It primarily does sales. They just added purchasing. It'll be far more effective when I have inventory and financials as well into the web client version."
"The initial implementation is not straightforward. It took approximately three months to complete. The process could be easier."
"Lacks an advanced HR model with payroll."
"We don't have the functionality of the supply chain and mobile applications."
"Something which would be helpful to management and, from our vantage point as a user, would be to see a simple reporting tool."
