Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."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."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"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."
"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."
"Flexible to set up an organization with multiple locations."
"The on-premise is very similar to the cloud version."
"The supplier invoice payment process is very easy and is integrated from the requisition to the payment (and to creating the asset)."
"The customer gets a better cost calculation and an integrated system between departments."
"The most valuable features are the financial-related capabilities."
"It can easily be developed into an application."
"Valuable features include Ledger and Subsidiary, Operating Unit, and Inventory Organization and Location."
"There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution."
"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."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"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."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"The way things are going, Oracle is not putting much effort into their master data management. They need to look into machine data and then the integrated data domain."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation."
"The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing processes."
"Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago."
"The system alerts could be improved."
"Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based."
"Pricing is the biggest disadvantage of Oracle."
