"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"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."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"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."
"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."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's vendor collaboration. It is also easy to connect with third-party applications."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is that it fulfills our requirements. We haven't had any issues with performance."
"In terms of features, GP offers a wide range of strong capabilities, particularly in the financial module."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"According to user feedback, the product's most valuable features are modern web-based accessibility and user-friendly interface."
"It is stable, suitable for businesses, and covers all business needs."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"The solution can improve by providing an easier form of integration to different platforms, such as receiving data from different Salesforce. There is a process to do it through the use of some APIs but it could be made much easier. This would be a large help to us."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"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 cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"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."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"It is being decommissioned."
"There are so many errors."
"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 tool's setup phase and pricing are areas with certain concerns where improvements are required."
"The on-premises and desktop versions are not user-friendly."
"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."
"From a consultant's point of view, I recommend an enhancement in terms of detailed documentation for the products on the website."
"The product needs improvement in procurement planning. It also needs to include a production scheduling feature."
