We performed a comparison between Anaplan and PeopleSoft based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."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."
"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."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"The solution scales well."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"Technical support has been good."
"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."
"PeopleSoft allows you to schedule upgrades and inform users beforehand. This gives your IT team time to manage the implementation and minimize disruption."
"A solid and mature product."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"Stability-wise, it is a good tool."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"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."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"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 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."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
