Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."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."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"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."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"Where we're seeing the opportunity in the market is at the Fortune 100 companies that have far more complex modeling type scenarios where you need to be able to have a lot of people collaborating together, and you need a lot of information all at everyone's fingertips. This is where you see the big advantage of a solution like Anaplan."
"Technical support has been good."
"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."
"The breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"Flexibility in configuration."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"PeopleSoft is a good core system. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good."
"All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"I would recommend the solution. It's very stable and scalable, which makes it a reliable solution."
"A solid and mature product."
"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."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"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 integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"The dashboard could be better. Because within a dashboard or report, you have to do a lot of scrolling. You need to scroll down because the table doesn't fit in a single view. That's why even the users aren't happy with that kind of user experience. They need to scroll to see all the data, and it could be better if it fits in just one page. That way, you can see everything. In the next release, I want automation that's connected to Anaplan. For example, to load master data from SAP to Anaplan. I don't know if this already exists, but a log where you can see the progress and see if there's an error will also help. It would be better to give you the error message, for example, if there is an error within the automated process importing to Anaplan."
"Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework."
"We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."
"The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"The Time and Labor module is not that flexible."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
