Real-time data integration enhances operational efficiency and flexibility
As a client developer and solutions architect, I use Anaplan for building modules and deploying logic end-to-end. I work closely with the business in an agile manner to ensure the model aligns with business needs Anaplan offers flexibility in building different options within the platform. The…

Proactive issue detection helps improve system reliability
I have not utilized the automation capabilities for remediation tasks within Red Hat Insights. The point is that we have a detached environment, so it is not really applicable. Here, what could be improved dramatically is the ability to have it used by an enterprise, which means to interlock with Ansible Automation Platform first. Secondly, including a change number or something that can help in tracking the remediation would be beneficial. If you come from an enterprise, you want to have all of the IT stuff in place. You cannot just remediate; you need to have a change and everything in place, and then you can do it. So even the planning can be something that can be improved.

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."
"Technical support has been good."
"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."
"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."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"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 scalability stands out compared to other platforms, especially for scenario planning and what-if analysis."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Insights is that it is dynamic."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Insights that I have found is the proactive information on issues that you don't see but are possibly going to happen in the environment."
"It identifies bugs and security vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"I would rate scalability between six and seven. Anaplan had issues before, but the new Polaris engine solves them, although its implementation is more challenging compared to the Classic engine."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"Anaplan could enhance its user interface by including a more user-friendly API."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"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 solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"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 improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex."
"Sometimes, the product has outages that affect the site's ability."
"What could be improved dramatically is the ability to have it used by an enterprise, which means to interlock with Ansible Automation Platform first."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 tool’s pricing is reasonable and competitive with other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"This is an expensive product and if the price were reduced then it would attract more customers."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"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."
"If you have a subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Insights is free."
