Anaplan Platform Alternatives

I've been working in the FP&A and planning systems arena for over 20 years and am increasingly pleased with the Adaptive product and continually improving user experience.

Most robust EPM system I've ever worked with. Many, if not most aspects, are truly exceptional, deserving a 5-star rating.

Here at our company, we see our partnership with Oracle Sales and Technology teams as a key strategic relationship to support our long-term EPM strategy. The open dialog with Oracle promotes an open channel for feedback for us to share best practices and find constructive solutions to alleviate roadblocks with the business. Our partnership with Oracle has ensured our success when we run into questions and their collaborative spirit continues to demonstrate their commitment to customer success.

Overall, our experience with Vena has been very positive. The platform helped our finance team move away from multiple disconnected spreadsheets to a more structured and centralized process. Because the solution is built on Excel, we were able to adopt it very quickly, while still adding strong governance and workflow management.

From implementation to using Tagetik on a regular basis I personally and our finance team are extremely happy with the capabilities of Tagetik. It took our financial planning processes to the next level and we have still a lot of room to grow to fully utilize the capabilities of Tagetik. Currently we are implementing a Pillar2 Solution with Tagetik as well.

Overall, my experience with Prophix has been very positive. It has helped streamline our financial planning and reporting processes, reducing reliance on manual work and improving efficiency across the team. While there is a learning curve at the beginning, especially for more advanced features, the platform becomes a powerful tool once fully implemented. The support team has also been responsive and helpful throughout the process.

The platform automates data aggregation, eliminating the need to consolidate thousands of loose spreadsheets. By doing this, the budgeting cycle has been reduced because it gathers data automatically only leaving the finance team to analyze it. This has been a standout for effective financial planning in the organization.

We were able to scale our new system that enabled us to gain efficiencies during our month-end close and budget cycles. The Jedox consultants made recommendations and shared best practices that allowed us to achieve these efficiencies.
