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."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"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."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"AX is nearly a Tier One product, so implementations are long, but there's a lot of flexibility. Also, the ability to handle different issues found in larger organizations."
"It is flexible and cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature I've found is the UI functionality."
"It's scalable."
"The production is a valuable feature."

"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 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."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"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."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"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."
