Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
We are a global consulting firm focused on delivering operational transformation and enabling technology solutions to the alternative investment industry. As such, we have implemented Anaplan for several of our clients for various use cases. It is a highly flexible tool. For instance, I have implemented it for FP&A, investment budgeting, and forecasting as well as several other use cases.

- Asset modeling

Anaplan is leaps and bounds beyond Excel with versioning, multiple models linking to one data set giving one source of truth, and full audit history of changes available in the system. It enables you to fully trust the numbers you're seeing and working with and [give you] the ability for multiple people to be working in the model at the same time without worrying if its the latest version of the file.

Anaplan Feature Ratings
Anaplan Support
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Kept well informed Immediate help available Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | Need to explain problems multiple times |
No, there was no need. Anaplan gives the same level of support to all their customers. If I had run into any issues I know I can also contact my customer success manager to help me follow up. However, the standard helpdesk was all, I needed to resolve my issue.
We ran into an issue where the model was taking an exceptionally long time to load. Anaplan helped us and then provided a model review to show us how the model could be improved/streamlined to improve speed.
