Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support has been good."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"The solution scales well."
"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."
"The most important feature of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is that it lets us centralize all our information so that we don't need to rely on any other software outside of Microsoft."
"I have found the flexibility to be very valuable. It's highly flexible, and at least for us, it has been effective. It is also highly functional."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is its ease of use, data customization, and smooth integration."
"I am impressed with the tool's user authentication, compatibility , and policies."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, and customizable."
"Microsoft products are very good in general. This product is flexible, easy to use, intuitive, and has good capabilities."
"Our data is much more manageable than before."
"It is a scalable solution. There are more than 5,000 end users in my organization."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"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 could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"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."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"The dashboard could be better. Because within a dashboard or report, you have to do a lot of scrolling. You need to scroll down because the table doesn't fit in a single view. That's why even the users aren't happy with that kind of user experience. They need to scroll to see all the data, and it could be better if it fits in just one page. That way, you can see everything. In the next release, I want automation that's connected to Anaplan. For example, to load master data from SAP to Anaplan. I don't know if this already exists, but a log where you can see the progress and see if there's an error will also help. It would be better to give you the error message, for example, if there is an error within the automated process importing to Anaplan."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"The stability could always be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see a quality check module - Navision doesn't have one, and the industry very much requires it."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central could be reduced."
"There are some aspects of the solution that is complex."
"The product should improve work optimization."
"There is a lot of improvement needed in the top model, such as better integration with logistics, quality management, and data modeling for all revenue types."
"The UI is not particularly user-friendly and the CRM could do with some enhancements."
"The initial setup of the solution was quite complex and the troubleshooting involved with that needs to be improved."
