"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."

"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.

"There are so many business rules to set up in the system that as a business user it's hard to gauge what they're doing and it's possible to get lost."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
