Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"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 scales well."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"I have found the user interface very modern and it has simplified many user jobs, such as the embedded logistics. They have introduced central finance which has been a benefit."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"The key modules that I find most valuable are material management (MM), financial accounting and controlling (FICO), and human resources (HR)."
"Because I'm a procure-to-pay consultant, I mostly look at that angle, and I have a bit of experience with sales and distribution. I also like the integration between S/4HANA and other ERPs because S/4HANA is a suite. For example, the integration between S/4HANA and EWM Transportation Management, and Ariba."
"One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering."
"It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool."
"I can verify and provide the overall financial aid report and also the management report."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"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."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"This product would be improved by adding more reports."
"Lacks ability to easily mass upload which has become a necessity for industry."
"It should have more support. Documentation and support for mobile apps can be improved."
"Lacking in some customizations."
"Thi solution can improve the Bill of Materials (BOM) and production planning."
"Starting out on the solution can be a bit complex and difficult."
"In a feature release, they could improve by adding budgetary features."
"We would like to see more DevOps capabilities in the future."
