Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."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)."
"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 solution scales well."
"Technical support has been good."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"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."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"Supply Chain Management is an excellent feature."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"From a developer's perspective, the architecture of Dynamics has a well-designed security layer, which prevents coding issues between different layers. This is a significant advantage."
"Almost all of the features that we use are efficient. Live master planning successfully handles all of our company's requirements."
"Support is really good."
"It has the same UI and is very similar to any other Microsoft product."
"Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"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."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"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."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity. That can act against you as a negative because it does require a model builder or a coder/developer."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX can improve by having a more modern user interface. It should be more modular and dynamic. Additionally, the solution could be easier to connect with APIs with other technologies."
"They should include some modules related to solving customer problems or resolving support tickets from our customers — like a help desk for ERPs."
"It needs better financials and reporting from the system, not through Excel."
"Change management could be better."
"The older version of Microsoft Dynamics AX that we are using is not as scalable as the newer version."
"There is also slowness in database backup."
"The support here in Turkey could be better. However, the international support is good."
"If I had to add something in the next release, it would probably be a mobile application for a sister application of Dynamics 365; not the ERP but the Dynamics 365 HR solution. It would definitely help if we could have Microsoft or a Microsoft partner introduce a mobile application for it."
