Segun Oladele - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Manager, Accounting at BIC
Reporting and forecasting have become more automated through intuitive data organization and flexible number calendarization
I do not have any improvements from my own end at this time.There are some specific features or functionality that I would like to see included in Anaplan in the future. From what we have been using, I do not think there is any specific one because we import and export numbers. Importing and exporting with CSV files is already available in Anaplan. I do not have any special requests from Anaplan. I still decided to give Anaplan an eight because I have not seen a specific dashboard on Anaplan. Anaplan could have a dashboard where you can see the flow of your numbers displayed on pictorials rather than just saying this is the number. Simple dashboards should be implemented.
Jacobo Ortiz Avila - PeerSpot reviewer
Production Engineer at Parex Resources Inc
Has supported data integration across teams but lacks advanced analytics features
I'm not quite sure how they have helped us actually because I know about the platform, but I haven't used it as I did in the past as a production engineer. I am familiar with Halliburton Aries Petroleum Economic Software's decline curve analysis. It is not effective if you cannot do a historical match and adjust the parameters of the decline curve. If it is only a linear regression that you could get from the data, that would be a mistake. If you could adjust the parameters according to the engineering criteria, that would be interesting. But if it's an inferred value for the parameters, that gives you a scenario where you lose control, and you stop trusting the decline curve. Python is important because you could take out outliers from your data and describe properly the function that could describe your trend. It is necessary to have engineering capability to properly forecast. My experience with the pricing of this product limits us regarding the amount of licenses we could get, so it's challenging. The integration with other software helps us; we integrate with the platform through SQL, but it's the only connection we have experienced.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Anaplan has eased a major pain point in mapping multidimensional data by combining all the necessary dimensions into a single tool, making it much easier for managers to understand the data coming in from their reps."
"Comparing to these, I think Anaplan is doing a great job."
"Anaplan offers flexibility in building different options within the platform."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"Anaplan's connected planning feature is its most valuable aspect, allowing for seamless financial planning, HR planning, and updates."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"Anaplan has positively impacted my organization by reducing the coding work involved by developers, increasing work flexibility, and enabling a better division of tasks among testing, development, and implementation teams."
"For running economics, planning budgets, and reporting reserves, Aries is one of the best in the industry and used more than any other product in the industry for that purpose."
"The best features of Halliburton Aries Petroleum Economic Software are that they attempt to integrate everything coming from the field; every data point that we could get from the field creates a database not only from production but also the mechanical status the wells have."
 

Cons

"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 cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity."
"I would rate scalability between six and seven. Anaplan had issues before, but the new Polaris engine solves them, although its implementation is more challenging compared to the Classic engine."
"Anaplan lacks a native ETL tool, making it challenging to integrate numerous flat files."
"The tool needs to work on its integration with MS Excel and MS Word. The tool does not allow data analysis in spreadsheets which is possible on other platforms. I want the solution to be more collaborative to facilitate decision-making in organizations."
"One key area of improvement is pricing."
"One improvement that could be added to Anaplan is to stabilize the models when data complexity increases, allowing us to manage our time and space well."
"For decline curve analysis, it could be more user friendly but once you understand how to customize it and tweak projections, it’s easy enough to use."
"It is not effective if you cannot do a historical match and adjust the parameters of the decline curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Anaplan is a bit pricier compared to its competitors - the license costs about $4,000 per user annually."
"The license is a yearly subscription. There are three licensing tiers: the model builder, planner, and the reporting."
"We are currently using a free workspace license for 90 days. We are satisfied with the price of the solution. There are additional costs if you want more storage, the default limit is 250 GB."
"This is an expensive product and if the price were reduced then it would attract more customers."
"The cost of Anaplan is a challenge for clients, especially if they don't have an ongoing long-term use case for it. It's a $50,000 licensing fee just to get started. Clients need a strong business case to switch from Excel to Anaplan. But if clients have used something similar in the past, such as Hyperion or other solutions, that's not a factor because they know what to expect."
"A value-for-money product and a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"This is a yearly subscription. So a customer initially buys a workspace and specifies how much GB they want. The minimum starts at around 30 GB. You can buy multiple workspaces."
