Real-time data integration enhances operational efficiency and flexibility
As a client developer and solutions architect, I use Anaplan for building modules and deploying logic end-to-end. I work closely with the business in an agile manner to ensure the model aligns with business needs Anaplan offers flexibility in building different options within the platform. The…

An easy-to-deploy product with a lot of useful tools and features that provides complete freedom to create solutions
I have worked with the solution for many years. I have worked several 1000 hours in Jedox. I really like the tool and its opportunities. It's evolving, improving, and adding new features. If someone is looking to use the product, they must reach out to a partner or consultant. When a solution has all the opportunities, it's not really a plug-and-play tool. They have some options for it. It is another good thing about Jedox. We can create certain models people often use, like cash flows and currency conversion. It doesn't need much configuring. We can just purchase on a subscription basis and start using some parts of it. If you want to start looking into it, you should definitely contact someone who's made large solutions to see all the opportunities that the tool has. It is vast. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

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."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"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."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"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."
"The solution scales well."
"Technical support has been good."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"The solution is quick with analysis and calculation. The tool offers high digitalization which helps us to run the controlling department with less number of people. If the software wasn't there, I would need two to three people extra to run the department."
"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"The solution is very versatile."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
 

Cons

"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its support. The visualization in Microsoft BI is more modern and comfortable than Jedox's. I would expect something similar with the solution."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of the solution is expensive."
"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."
"A value-for-money product and a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable and competitive with other solutions."
"Excellent value for money."
"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
