Empowers Business Users with Flexible, User-Friendly Low-Code Platform
Reviewed on Nov 12, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
This is a low-code/no-code platform that empowers business users to take ownership of their applications, reducing dependence on IT and eliminating common bottlenecks. Its hyper-block technology supports real-time collaboration throughout the organization, helping to break down silos. The platform also gives you the flexibility to define your own models without being constrained by rigid structures or limitations. It's user friendly UX allows model builder to build highly customized UX with KPIs, Charts and Conditional formatted tables, hence improving overall user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The extra efforts in handling sparsity of the model; we need to spend significant efforts in building concatenated list to reduce sparsity of the model to gain better performance. Polaris seems to be an answer for that, however, the costs of the license would be higher.
The limitation in reporting, currently we are restricted to do slice and dice on the reporting dimensions included in the module. It would be nice if we could also include properties of the reporting dimensions to achieve something similar in BI tools.
The current solution on this would be exporting the data with the properties and build those kinds of reports in BI tools.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan effectively replaces disconnected Excel-based processes by creating a single, cloud-based planning environment where all teams work from the same real-time data. Instead of juggling multiple spreadsheets across departments, Anaplan connects finance, sales, supply chain, and HR into one integrated model.
This eliminates version-control issues, reduces manual consolidation, and ensures consistent assumptions and formulas across the enterprise. Users can collaborate simultaneously, run live “what-if” scenarios, and update plans instantly — without waiting for manual data rollups.
By removing Excel silos, Anaplan improves data accuracy, speeds up decision-making, and shifts focus from spreadsheet maintenance to value-added analysis. The result is a more agile, transparent, and collaborative planning culture across the company.

Flexibility and Power for Complex planning tasks.
Reviewed on Nov 10, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is highly capable and can handle any task with impressive flexibility and power. It is also able to manage large amounts of data effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan is a very expensive tool, but it can be worthwhile if you develop a well-defined use case. Although Anaplan is capable of handling almost any task, it's important to consider whether a particular task truly needs to be done within Anaplan, or if it would be more cost-effective to handle it elsewhere. We should remember, that Anaplan is the planning tool at first. For example, raw data transformation might be better performed outside of Anaplan to save on performance / cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having worked in the consultancy business for many years, I deal with clients' challenges on a daily basis. Anaplan supports its clients across a wide range of use cases, but what stands out most is how Anaplan serves as a single source of truth for key planning processes within a company. This centralization helps eliminate data silos and allows Anaplan to function as an effective process orchestrator.

Smarter Forecasts, Stronger Decisions through Integrated Finance Planning
Reviewed on Nov 09, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan is a cloud-based software platform primarily designed for Connected Planning, and it has now expanded its capabilities to include finance, sales, supply chain, retail, and workforce management. The platform enables users to conduct dynamic scenario analysis, variance analysis, and generate real-time reports within the application. As a low-code solution, Anaplan can be easily managed by business users after the initial implementation. Recently, Anaplan introduced Financial Close and Consolidation solutions, providing a more comprehensive financial offering. Additionally, the product features prebuilt applications that help organizations reduce implementation time by two to three weeks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan has consistently faced challenges due to its expensive licensing model and performance limitations when handling large datasets. The basic AI and Gen AI features are not only costly but also have a very limited user base, as their use cases are quite narrow. Achieving scalability with Anaplan comes at a significant expense. Additionally, its ad hoc analysis capabilities, especially in Excel, are much weaker compared to other EPM tools, which forces users to rely solely on the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan has provided us with a comprehensive end-to-end connected planning solution. The product's modeling capabilities are straightforward and do not rely heavily on other products or tools. Recent improvements in third-party software integration, particularly through ADO, have made it much easier and faster to pull data from various sources. Anaplan's support service is very responsive, typically replying within a few hours. Software updates are seamless and do not require assistance from the development or support teams. Anaplan has been valuable for both opportunity and demand planning, enabling us to identify opportunities that are likely to convert quickly into sales. Additionally, it provides us with useful aging reports.
