"Anaplan's most valuable features are that it's a no-coding platform, everything can be scaled to your other functions, and it's easy to learn and use (especially because Anaplan provides excellent interactive training)."
"The solution scales well."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."

"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."

"I've been using it since December 2009, and it has been absolutely stable till now."

"One of the things I love about Infor LX is that everything is integrated."
"Infor LX's most valuable feature is that it's very interactive."
"One of the things I love about Infor LX is that everything is integrated."
"The dashboard could be better. Because within a dashboard or report, you have to do a lot of scrolling. You need to scroll down because the table doesn't fit in a single view. That's why even the users aren't happy with that kind of user experience. They need to scroll to see all the data, and it could be better if it fits in just one page. That way, you can see everything. In the next release, I want automation that's connected to Anaplan. For example, to load master data from SAP to Anaplan. I don't know if this already exists, but a log where you can see the progress and see if there's an error will also help. It would be better to give you the error message, for example, if there is an error within the automated process importing to Anaplan."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"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."
"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."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"The solution can improve by providing an easier form of integration to different platforms, such as receiving data from different Salesforce. There is a process to do it through the use of some APIs but it could be made much easier. This would be a large help to us."
"Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."
"It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."
