Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"The solution scales well."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"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)."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"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."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity. That can act against you as a negative because it does require a model builder or a coder/developer."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"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."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
