Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use.""The solution works very well for budgeting.""The solution scales well.""The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform.""It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected.""Technical support has been good.""This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."

More Anaplan Pros →

"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month.""The planning capability is the most valuable feature.""Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only.""You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."

More Infor dEPM Pros →

Cons
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier.""When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load.""Space and integration are a problem.""Automation needs to be built into this solution.""The price of the solution can improve.""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.""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."

More Anaplan Cons →

"It's a very expensive solution.""The latest version has been cloud-enabled, but it requires a deeper understanding of programming skills compared to the previous versions, which were more user-friendly.""The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement.""The usability could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "The license is a yearly subscription. There are three licensing tiers: the model builder, planner, and the reporting."
  • "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."
  • "Anaplan is a bit pricier compared to its competitors - the license costs about $4,000 per user annually."
  • "A value-for-money product and a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
  • More Anaplan Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
  • "It's a very expensive product, and I would rate it at nine out of ten, with ten being the most expensive. There are yearly licensing costs."
  • "The pricing is competitive."
