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

"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."
"Anaplan, being a cloud-based platform, allows customers to adapt easily; it is easier to enter data, load data, and develop reports compared to Hyperion."
"Anaplan is a worthwhile investment for a top performing planning solution in any sector, Finance, Capacity, or Budgeting, etc."
"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."
"There is a full set of reports available for sales."
"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."
"During our training in Anaplan, there was one quote saying, "almost everything can be built in Anaplan"."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Anaplan could enhance its user interface by including a more user-friendly API."
"The dashboard could be better. Because within a dashboard or report, you have to do a lot of scrolling."
"There is a chance of improvement for the history. In Anaplan back-end model, if there is any change, it is captured in the history, however, on the front-end UX page, if there are any changes on the UX page, there is no history captured."
"Sizing is the biggest challenge in providing solutions."
"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."
"A better presentation layer would certainly take it a notch higher."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"It is not effective if you cannot do a historical match and adjust the parameters of the decline curve."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Anaplan is a bit pricier compared to its competitors - the license costs about $4,000 per user annually."
"This is an expensive product and if the price were reduced then it would attract more customers."
"The entry-level is anywhere from about $30,000 to $50,000 a year, however, it does go up significantly after that depending on the complexity and how much space you're using."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable and competitive with other solutions."
"A value-for-money product and a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
