Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The solution scales well."
"Anaplan integrates well into my clients' core systems. The ability to aggregate the forms within the dashboarding is also useful. Only one of my clients has implemented workflow. Their usage has been very light. Dashboarding capability is probably the biggest one. My clients like having the ability to aggregate, slice and dice, and dynamically adjust things in the dashboards."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"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."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"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)."
"PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus."
"PeopleSoft is mostly used for payroll and core HR functionality. Some customers use it for its finance module."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit."
"Its user interface is impressive."
"A valuable feature is HCM."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"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."
"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."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization."
"Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
