"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 provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"Technical support has been good."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a very user-friendly software."
"Financial consolidation and reporting tool with good built-in features such as currency exchange and elimination."
"The most valuable features are around consolidations, eliminations, conversions."

"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"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."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
