Automatic data integration and validation streamline financial reporting
I am an external consultant for an insurance company where CCH Tagetik was implemented instead of Oracle HFM about two years ago. I support preparing data for CCH Tagetik by preparing files, loading data via IPL, and supporting integration from Oracle or any other general ledger that entities use…

Ensured functionality meets user needs, yet complexity remains a challenge
Since I'm using TM1 as an old version of Planning Analytics, it wouldn't be fair to specify what needs improvement because it's possible these issues have already been addressed in newer versions. If we talk only about the TM1 engine, it's quite rich and possibly too rich, making it complex to perform simple tasks. The abundance of features results in complexity, requiring strict guidelines for developers to ensure simplistic approaches are adhered to. This complexity makes it hard to maintain and evolve developments.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Has an APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included."
"I've primarily worked with CCH Tagetik as a consultant, handling implementations and not providing day-to-day user support. I initially appreciated the unified platform, the Ownership Structure Register, which benefits certain entities. The workflow feature is great, but it can become overly detailed and lacks clear guidance on design. The solution is good in terms of storage."
"The ability for integration and automatic loading from the Oracle system into CCH Tagetik is very valuable."
"I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy."
"The most valuable feature of CCH Tagetik is form creation."
"The most valuable features of IBM Planning Analytics for streamlining planning processes include a unified database where all data are centralized."
"The flexibility of IBM Planning Analytics is a great feature of this solution. The design flexibility with data rules and defining calculations The ability to combine online and offline calculations are a benefit. Additionally, the forecasting features and predictive analytics is very good."
"IBM Planning Analytics is easy to use and deploy. It is quick to develop. The calculation machine is also very fast."
"All the different platforms are well integrated."
"The tool is flexible."
"This level of stability is crucial for a product like Cognos TM1, as using an unstable platform would result in loss of time."
"Planning Analytics' best features include automatic updates and slicing."
"The most valuable feature is that it is able to slice and dice the data."
 

Cons

"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
"There is a need for improvement in the ability to generate all reports from one click, like both P&L and balance sheets, to be available together in Excel."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"The new frontend Planning Analytics Workspace is not very good, it could be improved. I like the Planning Analytics functionality but it would be helpful if it could be more customizable. You can create a prediction and receive information but you cannot do feature engineering regarding the predictive models. If this was added it would be helpful."
"The tool's transport layer could be improved when promoting development between environments."
"The tool should include features for prediction. It can also improve the scalability."
"The dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement."
"It's wonky, and not super user-friendly with Excel."
"Scalability is quite hard to implement in TM1, largely since the on-premise installation chosen back in 2014. On a scale, I'd rate scalability at four, out of ten. It's difficult."
"Adding predefined templates could be beneficial."
"It's highly competitive right now, and all the vendors are in a race to put out new versions with additional features. IBM comes out with new versions too often, and it has an impact on quality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive."
"The solution's pricing is affordable."
"IBM Planning Analytics is not the cheapest solution, but it's priced per the market standard for this type of solution. I rate the price at seven out of ten."
"The license of this solution is paid annually. Most of my customers choose a license that includes support."
"Our licensing cost is approximately $50,000.00 per year."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten since it's expensive."
"Compared with the other tools in the market, IBM Planning Analytics is a bit expensive."
"It is a bit expensive, but you get what you are paying for."
"IBM Planning Analytics is priced well, and licensing costs are yearly."
