Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"Technical support has been good."
"I am impressed with the tool’s real-time calculations and intuitive interface. The tool’s user interface is the best compared to other software that I have worked with. I also find the tool’s management reporting feature valuable."
"Where we're seeing the opportunity in the market is at the Fortune 100 companies that have far more complex modeling type scenarios where you need to be able to have a lot of people collaborating together, and you need a lot of information all at everyone's fingertips. This is where you see the big advantage of a solution like Anaplan."
"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'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."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is the manufacturing module. It addresses our product costing for tuna canning."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is that it fulfills our requirements. We haven't had any issues with performance."
"From a developer's perspective, the architecture of Dynamics has a well-designed security layer, which prevents coding issues between different layers. This is a significant advantage."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its workflow for purchase orders and inventory."
"It is easy to use, and it has a great UI. It has very well-structured modules. In terms of setup and configuration, they're logically placed, which makes it easy for any user to pick up information and learn more about the system, rather than just be plain key users of that business operating system."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."

"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."

"The price of the solution can improve."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The database requires a huge CPU and memory resources."
"They should include some modules related to solving customer problems or resolving support tickets from our customers — like a help desk for ERPs."
"The initial setup can be complex at times and has room for improvement."
"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."
"The product is standardised across industries so it is not a good fit for all types of sectors."
"From a consultant's point of view, I recommend an enhancement in terms of detailed documentation for the products on the website."
