The most valuable feature is that it is able to slice and dice the data.
IBM Planning Analytics offers flexibility in designing rules and calculations, with enhanced Excel integration for advanced data manipulation. It centralizes data management, supports scenario modeling, and automates over 80% of manual tasks, benefiting strategy focus. However, user-friendliness is limited with Excel integration, data extraction is slow, and frequent updates compromise consistency. It's more expensive than competitors with low scalability, affecting larger implementations.
