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."
"Technical support has been good."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"The solution scales well."
"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 features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"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 production is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is customization."
"It is easy to use, and it has a great UI. It has very well-structured modules. In terms of setup and configuration, they're logically placed, which makes it easy for any user to pick up information and learn more about the system, rather than just be plain key users of that business operating system."
"Technical support is very good."
"The product's most valuable features are its day-to-day operations, Power BI-driven workspaces, and homepage."
"The installation is extremely simple, and I have had no problems with it."
"I like that it's a complete ERP solution from production level to branch level."
"In terms of features, GP offers a wide range of strong capabilities, particularly in the financial module."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"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."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"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 so many business rules to set up in the system that as a business user it's hard to gauge what they're doing and it's possible to get lost."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX should include more connectors for third-party integrations. It should also include more features that AI models can govern."
"Microsoft could provide more flexible hardware requirements that can scale with the volume of data being processed rather than providing only a minimum requirement."
"We experienced some challenges with the mobile apps due to the insufficient processing capacity to handle the workload effectively."
"The tool's setup phase and pricing are areas with certain concerns where improvements are required."
"The older version of Microsoft Dynamics AX that we are using is not as scalable as the newer version."
"Change management could be better."
"Our version has performance issues so it gets stuck and is slow."
