We performed a comparison between Anaplan and Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"Technical support has been good."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"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."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"The solution scales well."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"We previously used Oracle EDS, and when comparing it to this solution, this solution has a much better interface. There are lots of advantages of the new solutions. Having it on the cloud, we are able to forget about keeping them updated or taking care of the database. We have minimal maintenance."
"The workforce, the cube database, is the most valuable feature where you do planning for your headcounts."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"Once you do the budget in Oracle ERP, you can upload it, but it's easier to create and manage budgets in the Oracle budgeting tool itself. For example, if you have a shortfall in the budget, it's easier to manage that and the forms, too, especially if you also have Oracle Forms Management. You can get the forms from somewhere and then transform those forms into budget heads."
"The tool improves the organizational budgeting process in several ways. One significant aspect is the extensionable functionality it offers. To illustrate, consider a scenario where a company has factories in Mexico producing Volkswagen and Kentucky producing Ford."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"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."
"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."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"Some of the things in this product are just too cumbersome and we don't need them and they make it harder to do certain things, or certain things have to have more specific names or descriptions."
"The FR recording studio that is used to build reports is clunky and awful to use. This could be improved a lot. The solution does have problems and limitations."
"There is middleware that we need to purchase for our use case that should be provided in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud. We should not have to purchase the additional solution and the integration should be seamless."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"For HR, the workforce planning out of the box is complicated. For most users, it's not easy, and it requires a learning curve. It's not very user-friendly. It can be improved."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
