Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"Technical support has been good."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Anaplan is machine learning. The solution is constantly evolving from feedback. Additionally, there is a wide range of training material online."
"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."
"NetSuite ERP is a user-friendly cloud-based solution that posts into the GL in real time. You can see your profitability at the order level."
"The project management aspect and the timesheets are valuable, especially for ensuring that our milestone billings are automated properly. From a manufacturing perspective, it is more to do with the entire management of the inventory, the overall finance, consolidation of books of accounts, and managing the profit and loss in a more effective manner."
"NetSuite ERP is good for a trading company that involves buying and selling."
"I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing."
"It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"NetSuite is a better value than some competing solutions. The fee structure is simpler, and other ERP solutions don't offer as many options for configuration."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"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."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"The solution could be more stable."
"If they could provide more integration options to connect with different products, that would be ideal."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
"The areas that this product needs to improve on is the implementation and inventory processes."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"NetSuite ERP's UI could be improved. There are some features that are very complex that do not have to be. There are some aspects of the solution that could be simplified and this can include the documentation. Since it's a very complex tool, you expect to have great detailed documentation to help you implement it."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
