Best Modeling and Planning Tool on the market
Reviewed on Jul 14, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan's standout feature is its powerful flexibility in connected planning, enabling seamless collaboration across departments. Its intuitive cloud-based interface simplifies complex modeling, while real-time data integration ensures accurate, dynamic decision-making. The scalability accommodates diverse business needs, and the ability to create custom workflows empowers organizations to adapt swiftly in changing environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan's primary drawback is its steep learning curve, especially for new users unfamiliar with its modeling language or advanced functionalities. Complex formulas can be hard to debug, and the platform occasionally lacks intuitive visualizations for certain tasks. Additionally, performance may slow with extremely large datasets, and licensing costs can be prohibitive for smaller organizations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan allows user to plan their territory with live calculations, live comparisons, and be able to make quick adjustments to tweak their assignments.

Anaplan is my preferred platform for modeling FP&A processes and producing connected forecasts.

What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful aspect of Anaplan is that it gives business users the ability to build models, i.e. planning, budgeting, and forecasting models, that are customized to their business needs. Models can also be built to incorporate data from almost any source, into the hundreds of millions of data points (rows/columns/cells), without compromising on performance or detail.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan's customizability can also be a double-edged sword. Although there are more and more out-of-the-box solutions being built and provided by Anaplan and 3rd parties, an organization will most likely have to expend significant resources to implement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan is helping me to build PBF models that connect all levels of the FP&A organization (from analysts to leadership) and beyond to other organizations throughout companies. With Anaplan you can provide large datasets and detailed models to produce detailed forecasts at the lowest levels, and easily consolidate and aggregate those forecasts to produce high-level reporting. Leadership can use these reports to analyze KPI's, simulate scenarios, strategize moves, make decisions, develop goals, and set targets.

As a model builder, I think Anaplan is a very good tool to build a sophisticated model.

What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan displays a very straightforward and clear way of code implementation, and it provides a very good training courses that support learner to get sufficient technical knowledge.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limitation of workspace. Sometimes end users require to see reports in very detailed granular level, but due to the limitation of workspace, we couldn't build that level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem is disconnection among different teams that are working in the same budgeting and forecasting processes, Anaplan provides a single source of truth that every users from different functional teams use Anaplan as the single platform to submit their budget & forecast, review & analyze their financial reports.
