Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."Anaplan integrates well into my clients' core systems. The ability to aggregate the forms within the dashboarding is also useful. Only one of my clients has implemented workflow. Their usage has been very light. Dashboarding capability is probably the biggest one. My clients like having the ability to aggregate, slice and dice, and dynamically adjust things in the dashboards."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"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."
"Technical support has been good."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"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 features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."

"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"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.

"The price of the solution can improve."
"The product needs improvement in procurement planning. It also needs to include a production scheduling feature."
"At times there are issues related to reporting, sometimes with the integration between two or three modules, and sometimes to the logic itself."

"AX does take some time and maintenance."
"The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools."
