Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"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 best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"It is a scalable solution. There are more than 5,000 end users in my organization."
"We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as CRM."
"The customer support is good. The first level of support agent in every case was able to solve the problem very quickly."
"Microsoft Dynamic 365 has everything we need, like Teams, Outlook, Excel, etc. I do a lot of data visualization, so I work a lot with Power BI. I bring in tables from Oracle and use Power Bi to manipulate and visualize the data. I handle all the stats and track everything that goes in and out of the company. We use all the modules, but I work primarily with Power BI, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams. They are all equally important and work together."
"Our data is much more manageable than before."
"Its most valuable feature is the user interface."
"The initial setup is easy - because it stands on Microsoft offerings, it's simple and intuitive to use."
"The product is customizable so we can tune it according to our requirements."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"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."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The tool needs to work on its integration with MS Excel and MS Word. The tool does not allow data analysis in spreadsheets which is possible on other platforms. I want the solution to be more collaborative to facilitate decision-making in organizations."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"I would like to improve the tool’s reporting and coding part."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV will be replaced with Office 365 in the future."
"Since it's complex for a layperson user to understand the solution, it would be better if the solution provided some training resources."
"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"In Thailand, the support here could be better. The process to get an answer is too long."
"We need to customize more often than we would like."
"The solution could include the retail tool in the native version."
"The solution must provide more AI features."
