    Anaplan vs Oracle Hyperion - Anaplan is far better calculation engine and way more modern. However, Anaplan still struggles to provide reporting, especially adhoc reporting in excel based off a data model.

    Anaplan vs Pigment - Anaplan is a more proven product, however, Pigment …

    My first experience of an EPM system was Hyperion on-premise. I found that you needed a lot of database understanding and a coding mind. Whereas Anaplan is more logical, you can write formulas in a similar way to excel. Anaplan is also much more flexible and forgiving of any …

    Oracle Hyperion is also very powerful but requires much more technical skillset than Anaplan. Deploying Anaplan had a lower barrier to entry and the consistent platform releases meant the product was continuously growing. Being on the cloud also meant we would get updates as …

    Anaplan is more efficient to implement in terms of the waterfall approach of delivering the MVP in the first release and then accordingly working towards the appropriate user feedback/suggestions/enhancements in corresponding sprint planning phases. Hyperion is a pretty large …

    Anaplan is much more user-friendly to architect than Hyperion or TM1/Planning Analytics. By outsourcing cloud storage to Anaplan, much of the headache of maintaining internal servers is removed. The calculation speed and traceability of Anaplan's calculation modules are also …

    Both platforms are excellent but come with some challenges. They are often complex to configure and offer limited customization options. Their user interfaces are not very intuitive, and their reporting capabilities are somewhat restricted. The total cost of ownership is …

    Anaplan is what I would consider a modeling platform. It excels at taking a forecasting or planning process and systematizing it - and allowing for whatever nuances and granularity you need to perform that modeling. It is not positioned as "data collection" platform - which …

    Anaplan has obvious advantages over Excel and is a favorite in financial planning. Another important selection criterion was the SaaS format with quick startup and self-support/development of the system without the involvement of IT (No-Code philosophy). The minimal license …

    A successful implementation is not always related to the tool, but also related to the quality of the implementation taking into account the limitations, particularities, or the way of working of the tool and using the best-practices related to that tool.

    I used other competitors, and I think, overall, Anaplan is a much better solution. It's younger and not a result of older generation solutions that have been adapted over the years and that are much more difficult to learn and customise.

    Oracle Enterprise Performance Management solutions are high on coding and their response time is on a higher end. Also, they have a fixed structure, which renders them unsuitable for some of the requirements.
