Anaplan allows us to plan quickly and quickly provide decisions. This enabled in increased productivity and efficiency across the team. Moreover, the value-driven using Anaplan helped to reduce the cost in the organization.

Anaplan as a solution provides flexibility whilst creating a robust and secure environment to connect people, data and plans. It is the best placed tool I have come accross to replace the 'messy middle' and heavy dependence on modelling in excel. The platform allows you to build your processes, formulas and plans in line with the structure of your business and the ability to drill down provides transparency. It allows for end to end planning accross your business. In the Alternative Investment industry we have seen this clearly. In additon to standard FP&A and Workforce Planning use cases Anaplan can truly offer a breadth of capabilities. Real Estate firms use it plan the entire lifecycle of their assets from Acquistion Underwriting Models, through Developments, Asset Level Planning, Disposals and Fund Modelling. Private Equity firms have seen value in building out Fund Outcomes models, Valuations, Carry Waterfalls and more.

Management Reporting has been a great new feature but it would be great to see this develop even further. Adding the TODAY function would also be useful and the ability to sub-total via a selection in reports

Time to value, with short implementation time-frames, Anaplans benefits rapidly realized. The platform enables collaboration, provides one source of truth, enables security, version control and transparency.

Anaplan is a great tool for taking companies to the next level of planning capabilities. The ability to connect an enterprise in real time drives down the time and cost of running a planning cycle and pivoting based on new challenges and changing variables.

It can take a while to get used to the model building approach and reshaping your brain to think in multidimensional terms, especially if coming from a traditional planners toolkit (Excel). I will say the training does a good job of being thorough and on demand.

Anaplan is solving a vast array of my customers' problems, across industries and use cases. I have implemented Anaplan for fast food chain restaurants, oil & gas, healthcare, SaaS companies. Anaplan's flexibility can tackle any industry and any challenge presented.

I like the flexibility and the fact that Anaplan drives the collaboration. When implemented for multiple use cases can really play a pivoting role in the way your business is organized and how you approach planning and forecasting.

The downsize of Anaplan is that it require quite some knowledge in order to get the true value out of it. The flexibility is so signifficant it can sometimes lead to unperformant solutions, unless done wisely.

Anaplan solves the issue of multiple separate excel files and disconnected planning processes. It can transform your chaotic business processes into an integrated planning platform. It changes the chaos into collaboration.

I like that Anaplan can always show exciting results to clients quickly. Even if a model is only in its infancy, the client can still see the vast benefits offered & the real-time savings they get out of it. I love the scalability and emphasis on embracing connected planning principles. By doing this, organizations can realist sustained improvements that have the ability to expand beyond just the current use case. These concepts seamlessly translate to an intuative user experience for all stakeholders.

Sometimes Anaplan can be so dynamic that seemingly effortless things are missing from the model builder or user perspective. An example can be publishing specific page selectors in different areas, ease of filtering, etc. Another specific example would be native time filtering options when building in a module with 'Time' as a dimension. However, Anaplan has made a lot of strides with these features both in the classic model building mode and the UX.

I have solved problems related to a lot of manual work in excel. Many clients are hampered by vigorous offline processes that take forever to complete, which eats into time better spent elsewhere. There have also been complex allocation pain points that Anaplan has alleviated. Anaplan has also helped us achieve connectivity across organiztion. It has improved accuracy and synergy across different processes that has enabled effective growth and expansion. Once clients realize the how Anaplan can enhance connected planning, it leads to increased adoption & enthusiasm for the product.

I like Anaplan's planning and modeling features, intelligent engine, user experience, extensibility and scalability. Anaplan connects people, data and plans like no other with their unified cloud platform. New features and functionalities are incorporated into the platform on a monthly basis which enhance the product's value proposition and usability significantly.

Auditability of line items can be improved by adding extra features like saved views references, filter references, UX page references etc. Native support for allowing input/breakback and calculation logic in the same line item can be added to further boost platform adoption in Retail Planning use cases.

Anaplan's versatility is one of its key differentiators. Using Anaplan, comprehensive planning solutions that facilitate quick decision-making can be built for all critical functions - Finance, Sales, Supply Chain, HR and Workforce, Marketing etc. As a partner, this enables me to implement best-in-class solutions for our customers and their planning needs.

Multi-dimensionality and scalability results in error free planning. Easy to implement and maintain With improvements in REST APIs, lots of integration options with other systems Real-time visibility on the go Collaboration with other users within the app Mobile app that enhances on the go planning

Recently the cost of the tool has increased, but it is still preferable because of the value proposition it brings.

Error-free and a streamlined way of assigning accounts to territories. Manage territories dynamically. Adjust/move geographies (postal codes) within Territories among different businesses. Assign and maintain territory/geography owners within each business. Manage indexes on each territory. Help determine the compensation of each rep using an Audit trail. Setup OP process among each market and submodality.

Anaplan's security via self services, single sign on and central identify management allows planning teams to stop sending risky emails with attachments and to plan and review via dashboards. By leveraging Anaplan, a centralized planning tool, the forecasting teams standardize processes, democratizes data via transparent data values and as a result breaks down silos.

Anaplan is currently not an out of the box solution, so implenting it requires dedication from the business. The Anaplan way, and working with partners helps organizations positvely transform their planning process, but in the end the buisness has to commit and invest in change.

Anaplan is providing transparency from start to finish in the planning process. During C-Suite reviews, if anyone asks: "where does that value come from" the presentor can drill down into the value. When previously preparing for C-Suite reviews, different parts of the organization may have calculated the same metrics with different logic or inputs, Anaplan forces the organization to provide transparency, alignment, and standardization where applicable to that planning process.
