"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"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."
"I have been happy with the intern purchases, and finance, such as banking."
"Technical support is quite good. They are helpful and responsive. We are quite satisfied with their level of support."

"SAP Business One has good reports and is simple to customize and use."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is all the functionality of the modules together. It is a full-featured solution."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"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."
"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."
"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 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 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."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"Lacks an advanced HR model with payroll."
"More support can be provided on the web client end."
"The initial implementation is not straightforward. It took approximately three months to complete. The process could be easier."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"Our business has grown beyond the capabilities of Business One. We need a bigger ERP solution, and therefore we are moving away."
"Some features are missing."
"I would love to have more reporting capabilities. It should have an embedded BI engine. Currently, I have to maintain an additional system for BI."
"Production area and Bill of Materials: effective date and Subcontracting process."
