Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected.""The solution works very well for budgeting.""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.""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.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use.""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.""Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."

"We were with Oracle previously. With Oracle, you have to buy a different piece of software for every business process. If you want to do budgeting, that's a product. If you want to do consolidation, that's a product. If you want to do BI type of work, that's yet another product. So, you end up buying a lot of software from Oracle. With OneStream, it is a little different. It is a platform where you can do all those things, and you can do them with just one software purchase and then you just pay for users on it.""It offers great ease of use. This impacts not only the end-user experience but also the administrator's, which affects the total cost of ownership.""The product's most valuable feature is extensibility."

Cons
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions.""One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting.""Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software.""The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools.""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.""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.""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."

More Anaplan Cons →

"Currently, they only support one browser, and it would be good if you could use it on Chrome, Firefox, etc. It is a little frustrating that you can only use a certain Microsoft browser. They're pretty tightly aligned with Microsoft. So, I can see the reasons for it.""We should be able to download the data in the same format we upload it.""AI is where I see the most innovation and progress, but it's not fully developed yet."

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 →

  • "They price it by the user. Before discounting, it is 2,500 or something like that."
  • "The licensing is expensive."
  • "The product has a license by the user. They're on par with other competitors."
