| Associate Manager, Accounting at BIC | 4.0 | I rate Anaplan an eight for its real-time insights, automation, and ease in reporting and planning, helping me adapt to market changes with a great UI/UX. I wish it had more specific visual dashboards, but it streamlines data consolidation very well. |
| Anaplan Solution Architect at a media company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | <p>I find Anaplan excellent for FP&A, enabling real-time, multi-user collaboration, saving time, and boosting performance. Integration and flexible modeling are strengths, but I desire better history tracking on front-end UX pages for oversight.</p> |
| IBM Planning Analytics SME and Developer at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I find Anaplan better for summarizing clean data and reporting, leveraging APIs, while IBM Planning Analytics excels at detailed calculations and low-level data manipulation. Both tools serve different purposes, and selection depends on specific data needs; Anaplan notably lacks native ETL. |
| Technology Lead at Randstad Digital | 4.0 | <p>I find Anaplan valuable for FP&A, as it enhances financial planning, automates data integration, and improves team efficiency by reducing coding. However, latency issues during large data deployments are a significant concern that needs improvement.</p> |
| Product Support Engineer at JSW | 4.5 | I find Anaplan a very effective, cloud-based budgeting and planning tool, easier than Hyperion for data entry and reporting. Its UX boards and worksheets provide excellent analysis, handling large data volumes, despite being more expensive. |
| Lead Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I find Anaplan excellent for connected financial planning, thanks to its fast in-memory engine and amazing support. While Polaris improved scalability, implementation is complex. Despite being premium, I recommend it for enterprise use. |
| Anaplan Model Builder at Xenlytics | 4.5 | I rely on Anaplan for financial planning, appreciating its seamless integration and CloudWorks for enhanced productivity. While stable, I believe it needs to stabilize models with complex data and offer direct in-module visualization. |
| Applied Model at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use Anaplan for financial planning and supply chain, appreciating its cloud integration and Data Orchestry, which saves my team 60% reporting time. I rate it 8/10, wishing it offered direct data reporting. |
