“Tech employee reviews Anaplan Platform”

4.0

Overall, Anaplan as a product and organization has a lot of potential. It's good, but I think it could be better. One of the hurdles of using Anaplan is either the additional cost to pay a consultancy to lead the build/implementation of Anaplan or to develop internal Anaplan SMEs who can build within Anaplan at a high level. There is lots of flexibility in the tool, which is great, but can also lead to building models/processes in an inefficient way. The team has been working on some exciting new releases (for example their Polaris platform), but my organization has struggled to get meaningful support for said new releases, and the broader support model leaves some opportunities for improvement.

Performance of Anaplan Platform Across Market Features

Anaplan Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

1. Anaplan is immensely flexible. 2. Anaplan integrates well with different middleware / reporting software (e.g. Tableau/Power BI). 3. Can handle the majority of low-sparsity data use cases. Polaris can handle the higher-sparsity use cases, but we've experienced some issues with Polaris.

Like

Its easy to develop for the developers

Like

1. Clean and friendly user interface 2. Ability to perform connected planning between different lines of business within our firm 3. Scalability (compared to excel) 4. Version Control (single source of truth)

Dislike

1. Anaplan is not natively good at hosting high volumes of very granular data. They have an enhanced calculation engine called Polaris, that my organization has used, but we've still encountered issues with the Polaris platform. 2. Anaplan support (from Anaplan organization) is iterative, and often more complicated issues a buyer/admin user faces need to be repeated to several levels of Anaplan support. This can sometimes extend the resolution cycle. When I open a support case, I am not confident that it will be resolved or addressed in a timely manner.

Dislike

It becomes slow with large no of users and the Platform support had also been poor

Dislike

Complexity - though the reason for this is also how complex our internal processes are, but in some cases the models have become quite complex for us to easily debug occurring issues.

    Empower Smarter Decisions through robust Connected Planning with Anaplan

    Nov 12, 2025
    My overall experience has been highly positive. Key unlocks for our teams have been the headcount and overall firm budgeting models, which help us in estimating and tracking overall firm and line-by-line personnel costs - enhancing our decision making with regard to new hires and other expenses. Another important use case we have is to capture financial valuations to help our clients and internal stakeholders.

    Anaplan is an amazing modeling and calculation tool for enterprise level planning. They have rolled out some very helpful enhancements over the past year that have made previous challenges go away, however there are still some small quirks that can be annoying and seem as if they should be not hard to address
