Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"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."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"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."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"Microsoft Dynamics is very stable."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are ease of use and performance."
"Dynamics AX provides a lot of functionality."
"The installation is extremely simple, and I have had no problems with it."
"It was an okay solution when we delivered hardware and we had to do maintenance."
"According to user feedback, the product's most valuable features are modern web-based accessibility and user-friendly interface."
"A valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is that it is stable."
"Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"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."
"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."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"I sometimes put in wrong data that needs correction, but I cannot change it or approve it without withdrawing it. It will then take time for me to go back in and edit it."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX could be improved by having more features available. We are going to 365 now, to use all the modules, because we found that there weren't many new things we were able to develop with AX. There were a lot of things that weren't available, so we are moving and integrating other things. The customization of upgrades should also be faster. We would also like to see more security features."
"Microsoft needs more presence in our region to help with management and maintenance."
"We experienced some challenges with the mobile apps due to the insufficient processing capacity to handle the workload effectively."
"Change management could be better."
"Microsoft could provide more flexible hardware requirements that can scale with the volume of data being processed rather than providing only a minimum requirement."
"The product takes some training to get up to speed on all functionality and modules in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 ERP system."
"If I had to add something in the next release, it would probably be a mobile application for a sister application of Dynamics 365; not the ERP but the Dynamics 365 HR solution. It would definitely help if we could have Microsoft or a Microsoft partner introduce a mobile application for it."
