Anaplan Reviews

I'm using it to produce a proof of concept and SDNA.

The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform.

One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting for each line item, which increases the size.

These are also areas that could be improved for the long-term sustainability of the platform.

It's been about three months now.

There are around 13 users in my company using the solution. 

It's quite easy to set up. It doesn't require much effort.

It is an expensive solution. 

I would definitely recommend using the solution. It is a practical and easy-to-use solution. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

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).

Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub, like a data decoupling layer with an option for customers to maintain their data on their own cloud. They could also continue to improve their UX and provide more features on the reporting side, including more options for charts and graphs.

Anaplan is quite stable.

The initial setup is straightforward and rarely takes more than twelve weeks.

Anaplan gives a good ROI.

So long as Anaplan fits your requirements, it's quite affordable. It's a value-for-money product and a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM. There are multiple pricing models, and you only need the costlier license if you use the model builder.

I would advise those implementing Anaplan to go through the L1-L3 training program. I rate Anaplan as eight out of ten.
