Associate Manager, Accounting at BIC
Reporting and forecasting have become more automated through intuitive data organization and flexible number calendarization
I do not have any improvements from my own end at this time.There are some specific features or functionality that I would like to see included in Anaplan in the future. From what we have been using, I do not think there is any specific one because we import and export numbers. Importing and exporting with CSV files is already available in Anaplan. I do not have any special requests from Anaplan. I still decided to give Anaplan an eight because I have not seen a specific dashboard on Anaplan. Anaplan could have a dashboard where you can see the flow of your numbers displayed on pictorials rather than just saying this is the number. Simple dashboards should be implemented.

Production Engineer at Parex Resources Inc
Has supported data integration across teams but lacks advanced analytics features
I'm not quite sure how they have helped us actually because I know about the platform, but I haven't used it as I did in the past as a production engineer. I am familiar with Halliburton Aries Petroleum Economic Software's decline curve analysis. It is not effective if you cannot do a historical match and adjust the parameters of the decline curve. If it is only a linear regression that you could get from the data, that would be a mistake. If you could adjust the parameters according to the engineering criteria, that would be interesting. But if it's an inferred value for the parameters, that gives you a scenario where you lose control, and you stop trusting the decline curve. Python is important because you could take out outliers from your data and describe properly the function that could describe your trend. It is necessary to have engineering capability to properly forecast. My experience with the pricing of this product limits us regarding the amount of licenses we could get, so it's challenging. The integration with other software helps us; we integrate with the platform through SQL, but it's the only connection we have experienced.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Anaplan's connected planning feature is its most valuable aspect, allowing for seamless financial planning, HR planning, and updates."
"The modeling part of Anaplan, which is a model builder in which you can build whatever you want, has been great."
"Anaplan, being a cloud-based platform, allows customers to adapt easily; it is easier to enter data, load data, and develop reports compared to Hyperion."
"The multidimensionality helps significantly with scenario planning, allowing me to run various scenarios and check the outcomes, which suits my needs well."
"It has supported a global process change to sales forecasting and created a single method for this."
"The solution improves forecast accuracy, drives up the quality of analytics, and frees up about 30% of finance people’s time during the planning cycle so they can focus on value-added analytics instead of just consolidating numbers."
"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."
"Anaplan is excellent for summarizing clean data and is easier to use for reporting and security, while Planning Analytics is better for data cleansing and low-level data manipulation."
"The best features of Halliburton Aries Petroleum Economic Software are that they attempt to integrate everything coming from the field; every data point that we could get from the field creates a database not only from production but also the mechanical status the wells have."
"For running economics, planning budgets, and reporting reserves, Aries is one of the best in the industry and used more than any other product in the industry for that purpose."
 

Cons

"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 negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"In terms of technical support, I would rate Anaplan a two out of ten, as they are poor."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"One improvement that could be added to Anaplan is to stabilize the models when data complexity increases, allowing us to manage our time and space well."
"Whenever you load the data in Excel and then send it back to Anaplan, it takes a lot of time."
"It is not effective if you cannot do a historical match and adjust the parameters of the decline curve."
"For decline curve analysis, it could be more user friendly but once you understand how to customize it and tweak projections, it’s easy enough to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A value-for-money product and a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
"Anaplan is a bit pricier compared to its competitors - the license costs about $4,000 per user annually."
"We are currently using a free workspace license for 90 days. We are satisfied with the price of the solution. There are additional costs if you want more storage, the default limit is 250 GB."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable and competitive with other solutions."
"This is an expensive product and if the price were reduced then it would attract more customers."
"The entry-level is anywhere from about $30,000 to $50,000 a year, however, it does go up significantly after that depending on the complexity and how much space you're using."
"The cost of Anaplan is a challenge for clients, especially if they don't have an ongoing long-term use case for it. It's a $50,000 licensing fee just to get started. Clients need a strong business case to switch from Excel to Anaplan. But if clients have used something similar in the past, such as Hyperion or other solutions, that's not a factor because they know what to expect."
