Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."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."
"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."
"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."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"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."
"Technical support has been good."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's most valuable feature is the information that it provides. For example, it's good to know the AR due date and the receipt of the products that you have sold. It is a good solution overall for enterprise management."
"Financial reconciliation and reporting."
"The system is reliable and the backbone of financial and other core systems in many organizations worldwide."
"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
"The supplier invoice payment process is very easy and is integrated from the requisition to the payment (and to creating the asset)."
"I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments. It also has the decision and internet sale order, and my customers can correct the internet decision. It automatically converts to the internet order, and they don't need to create the entry object. They don't need to make a secondary ledger in the parent company and subsidiary. That's very helpful for internet decisions. If they get an order at the parent company, it automatically creates the sales system in the subsidiary."
"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is flexible. Its rich functionality can work in any client environment or business."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"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 could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"The deployment of the Oracle E-Business Suite was simple. I have done many deployments and I find it simple, but for others, it might not be easy."
"The system alerts could be improved."
"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."
"The UI interface is not great."
"More flexibility in configuration related to the Payroll module, in order to easily implement the local legislation."
"The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing processes."
"The issue of frequently applying patches and updates to fix bugs. Oracle should improve upon this issue, especially since it happens too frequently."
"Earlier when our organization was small they chose Oracle because in the telecommunication industry everybody was using Oracle. Our company has grown to a size where our particularly billing phase has created some challenges and now we are looking at alternate solutions. There is not a billing engine or module that you can buy from Oracle that can be added to this EBS solution to fix our problem. They should add a billing module or engine to the solution."
