It's phenomenally good at scaling. We built a solution for a retail chain, which basically initiated transfers from a centralized hub down to stores. There were 800 stores and about 600 skews in each store. It was all machine learning that drove the purchasing. And we were able to, on a daily basis, send an automated transfer to the central hub. There were six hubs around the world, and it would automatically on a daily basis send anything between 100 and 250,000 skews to different stores based on predictive algorithms. 

Typically, it's very unusual to deal with a small business. Typically Fortune 100 companies are using this product. There are a couple of different models, however, just the cost of being able to build a model, for a smaller company, that amount it would cost doesn't make any sense.

Also, typically, smaller companies don't have as many complex problems to solve. You can have a standardized model, whether it's a forecasting model or a headcount model, full cost and headcount, or a sales model and things like that. For smaller companies, Excel could handle it.

We do have plans to increase usage in the future.

Typically the way it works is that you normally start off with a use case or a number of use cases, and then the client gets used to using it. They build up an internal team as well, and then they expand the use cases out, and that continues to kind of build-out. There are just hundreds of modeling opportunities where you can bring in two sets of data, where you can bring in lots of people putting information in and, you can bring in predictive analytics. So there's always a huge amount of opportunity. The nice thing about Anaplan, as well, is it's very connected. I can use that one use case and I can use data out of that use case in another model, and all the models are connected. If somebody changes something in one model, then it'll change in the other models as well.

They've been working on it, and there are some integrations currently available to connect with the output and input sources, but not on a very large scale as other tools can. It does have a decent APA connection. That's where people can integrate with other systems as well. There is support for connecting Dell Boomi, SnapLogic, Informatica Teradata, and a couple of other things.

Anaplan is very scalable. It is designed so that you can just keep adding on to your core piece. Their sales pitch is "land and expand."  Once you set up your core enterprise structure, you can leverage all your user configurations and settings across every additional module you add.

I have never met a limit in Anaplan as far as scalability is concerned. I understand from a certain point of view that there is a limit. However, with my daily customers, for 10 years now, since it's more than 10 years that I've been working on it, I have never met any limits as far as scalability is concerned.

I have various clients on the solution, and their users range from just five to up to 100 people in the sales area. 

I would say in the first year clients are using perhaps two or three percent of the company are using Anaplan. The second-year is the same. By the third or fourth year, they grow and up to 10% of the company will use it. Within six or seven years, you may go up to 50 or 75 percent.

20 to 21 people are using the solution in our organization. 

The solution is easy to scale. 

We work with it on a daily basis. 

It's very easy to scale. It's not that hard. However, the cost can go up depending on the volume.

The solution is highly scalable.

They have restrictions on the space, so scalability is currently limited, but they are working on that because they are trying to make it wider.

We have around 300 people using Anaplan in our organization, and they have a category of users to work on. Model builders manage the model and there are also planners and then reporting users. We have a wide range of users, like IT consultants, who are on the lead level. I lead, but I also do hands-on. There are developers and then FP&A professionals, and I have brand managers and finance managers who are doing the reporting.

Our entire retail division is on Anaplan for FP&A solutions. Every business is using it. Once you get in, you can't come out because you have replaced your traditional way of planning using Anaplan, so pretty much all users are bound to use it. From a scalability point of view, our organization is quite wide with respect to divisions, like retail. We brought treasury in for cash flows. We are working on real estate and probably will go with automotive soon.

We are thinking that our numbers will increase to around a thousand plus. The reporting is quite huge because that's the cheaper one in Anaplan. With planning, you will be reaching around 400 plus because it's not financial alone; it's business cum finance, so it's a wide reach.

The projects were of medium scale and had no issues with scalability, but sizing of the cloud server directly affects scalability and thus affects the cost.

In terms of scalability, Anaplan is great. Right now, there's a lot of changes that need to happen in our model, and I believe you can easily ask for an increase in size, and it can adopt the new logic that encouraged a lot of space.

The solution is scalable. There are around 10-20 users for the solution.

It's one of the solutions that could be scaled up quite easily if its architecture is set up correctly at the beginning of the project, compared to many others marketed by big and well-known CPM/BI providers. Currently, we have approximately 20 Anaplan users in our organization.

This product is scalable.

The scalability is very good.

We have 15 model builders using this solution in my organization.

The solution is very scalable. In previous projects, there were some changes that the business wanted to make, however, they were not able to do it in SAP or Cisco systems. They used append models to do those changes and send them back to SAP.

Considering the previous project, there were almost 300 to 400 users. There are finance project managers across the zones or the CapEx and OpEx controllers.

Our latest client does plan to increase usage. They've already forgotten all about trying to make Excel reporting work.

Anaplan has been scalable, there are a least 40 domains where this solution can be used, such as OPEX and financial planning

In my organization, we have approximately 10 clients using this solution.

We are extensively using this solution in the project we are currently involved in.

We have something called Anaplan Connect, which is like an in-built Anaplan connector, where we can connect with our third-party data sources, and we don't have any issues, especially when we do an integration perspective.

There were no scalability issues.

Small changes could create massive amounts of data without the Anaplan Builder knowing that they did that. This could push us over space/storage limits quickly.

After going live in August 2015 we had to double storage capacity and rebuild the entire forecasting model six months after go-live in Spring 2016 due to a poor initial design that led to wasted storage and less optimal performance.

This product is super scalable and efficient.

There are around 13 users in my company using the solution.
