Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"Anaplan's in-memory calculation engine is super-fast compared to the old tools we previously used. You enter the data and everything shows up in one go."
"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."
"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."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"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)."
"It is stable, suitable for businesses, and covers all business needs."
"Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is that it fulfills our requirements. We haven't had any issues with performance."
"The accounting and inventory management features are valuable."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are field services and the vendor collaboration portal. Both of the features are very good."
"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."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The support here in Turkey could be better. However, the international support is good."
"There is no Arabic interface in Microsoft Business Central, which is a big weak point."
"The older version of Microsoft Dynamics AX that we are using is not as scalable as the newer version."
"The integration could improve for the future."
"I sometimes put in wrong data that needs correction, but I cannot change it or approve it without withdrawing it. It will then take time for me to go back in and edit it."
"We experienced some challenges with the mobile apps due to the insufficient processing capacity to handle the workload effectively."
"AX does take some time and maintenance."
"There are so many errors."
