Segun Oladele - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

The solution provides dynamic reports while being easy to use
There is not much training for Jedox. There was no training available in the beginning at all. I had to reach out to them so they would give us something. I think they're getting better, though. The other issue is the dependence on the partner network. We used to deal directly with Jedox, but now it is all through partners, and Jedox's representatives are not in the picture anymore. It's not that partners are not doing a good job, but you're not dealing with the company directly since it's a partner most of the time. If you build your know-how within the company, it's good. Otherwise, the dependence on partners could end up being more costly. Suppose you do your development or don't need to develop constantly by starting with a sprint, deciding what you want to do, and setting up the cubes, databases, and everything correctly. In that case, you only need to develop different reports using the same data. However, it could be costly if you constantly need to develop reports or different cubes and store different systems without the in-house know-how.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Anaplan has helped to adapt to market changes, and its scenario planning feature is used for forecasting, with integration capabilities that streamline data consolidation across JD Edwards, Power BI, and HFM through a wonderful and simple interface."
"Because of that flexibility and ability to build models in the way you want to build it, it means you can tailor it to the company's requirements."
"Since we began using Anaplan, our firm has been very organized, and we have been gradually moving up in the market."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good, and it is actually performing very well as it has reduced a lot of manual work and manual exercises."
"The solution scales well."
"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."
"Anaplan has positively impacted my organization by reducing the coding work involved by developers, increasing work flexibility, and enabling a better division of tasks among testing, development, and implementation teams."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"The ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."
"The data entry point is most valuable, and the way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"The solution is very versatile."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more flexible graphs; more varieties of graphs, more customization (like choosing colors, gradients, etc.) and more conditional formatting options."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub, like a data decoupling layer with an option for customers to maintain their data on their own cloud."
"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."
"Anaplan could enhance its user interface by including a more user-friendly API."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"There is a chance of improvement for the history. In Anaplan back-end model, if there is any change, it is captured in the history, however, on the front-end UX page, if there are any changes on the UX page, there is no history captured."
"A better presentation layer would certainly take it a notch higher."
"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."
"The tool has changed its pricing and it's now too expensive for small and medium organizations. I miss the open-source version which was free and we could do a lot of things with it."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."
"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 license is a yearly subscription. There are three licensing tiers: the model builder, planner, and the reporting."
"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."
"This is an expensive product and if the price were reduced then it would attract more customers."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable and competitive with other solutions."
"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."
"A value-for-money product and a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"Excellent value for money."
"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."
"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
