"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."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool’s real-time calculations and intuitive interface. The tool’s user interface is the best compared to other software that I have worked with. I also find the tool’s management reporting feature valuable."
"Anaplan's in-memory calculation engine is super-fast compared to the old tools we previously used. You enter the data and everything shows up in one go."
"The security feature, particularly the encryption, which still builds sensitivity, is one of the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are the dashboards, ease of use, and flexibility."
"It is easy to use, and it works very well for small-scale companies."
"The customer support is good. The first level of support agent in every case was able to solve the problem very quickly."
"All of the features are valuable, depending on where you implement them. I've done implementations in 60 countries, across 86 different companies and groups, and each company has a different reason for why they want to use it. Every single feature that I've implemented has been successful, and for some companies, where they didn't use the functionality, they have moved to external products or they've integrated into other applications."
"The solution's integration between Teams, SharePoint, and Exchange Online is really helpful."
"I like Microsoft Dynamics' simplicity. The interface is excellent, and it's a highly mature product. You can hardly find any bugs in the product."
"The most valuable features of Business Central for me are its seamless integration with Power BI and the ability to create customized reports."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"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. It's going to factor into how you design your data set and your models, but I'd like the ability to create ad hoc queries against the data that's in there."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see a quality check module - Navision doesn't have one, and the industry very much requires it."
"For a big company like us with millions of transactions, the scalability isn't enough."
"The solution can improve by having better integration with Microsoft PowerBI and reporting."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV will be replaced with Office 365 in the future."
"The stability could always be improved."
"The tool needs to work on reporting issues and user interface."
"There is a lot of improvement needed in the top model, such as better integration with logistics, quality management, and data modeling for all revenue types."
"There is room for improvement in the ability to reverse or correct transactions more easily."
