Recommendations to others considering the product:
Anaplan is a great tool for real time data and forecasting scenarios. The user experience has been improving a lot over the year with the introduction of anaplan UX, which helps developers set up more visually appealing reports for end-users. However, without the capability of handling multiple years of transactional data due to space limitations, there is a need to integrate anaplan with other reporting tools more well-suited to represent the data
