    Considered Both Products
    Anaplan
    Chose Anaplan
    I think Anaplan is a better and more mature product than SAP SAC, but SAC has a better integration with its core modules and BW platforms.

    Chose Anaplan
    Anaplan and these other tools are very similar. I cannot say that I selected Anaplan over them as I have worked with and been involved with setting up a number of tools for clients. They all have their advantages and Anaplan is a very strong tool in the cloud planning space.
    Incentivized
    Chose Anaplan
    We selected Anaplan because of the breadth of their vision and their approach to tackle "planning" of all kinds and integrate planning processes into a true Connected Planning ecosystem. We found that their flexibility and ease of use ultimately provided a better avenue to …

    Chose Anaplan
    Anaplan has a clear advantage comparing to Excel when it comes to complex planning and forecasting, especially for bigger companies. Anaplan can perform much smoother but still is giving the same amount of flexibility.

    SAC is much more analytical comparing to Anaplan. SAC can …

    Chose Anaplan
    Anaplan system/structure is not a far departure from Microsoft Excel which many people are most familiar with - this allowed for an easy transition during our first implementation as well as onboarding new users. Anaplan presents itself in a somewhat familiar structure while …

    Chose Anaplan
    Anaplan's UX and calculation engine tend to perform better. Regarding the UX, Anaplan's is very customizable and end-user-friendly. Some of the other solutions' UX looks very dated. Regarding the calculation engine, when an input is made in Anaplan it will calculate real-time …

    Chose Anaplan
    I have used all of the above tools in previous companies. I have seen the limitations and what makes each tool shine. I have seen exactly why Anaplan beat the competition, and why the tool is critical for any FP&A team. From the things I mentioned previously, there is no reason …

    Chose Anaplan
    Flexibility in modeling capability sets Anaplan apart from other competitors. You are tied to cookie cutter solution, which needed to be customized for others. Once customized, it does not change as business changes. It requires them to come in and changes. We needed a …

    Chose Anaplan
    We ultimately picked Anaplan because it allowed us the flexibility that we needed as well as we could see how there were other use cases for the tool.

    Chose Anaplan
    Anaplan provided a whiteboard that allowed us to set up our unique business as we saw fit. Other programs had built-in forecasting modules that we needed to adapt to. Our company is retail but also collections so flexibility was the key when making the final decision. Plus, …

    Overall better, quicker process. Lack of space in Anaplan is a pain point as compared to Host where we have been able to keep prior years worth of data with no problem.

    When we talk about SAP, what you are looking for is not the best price but a complete integration with the other products of the brand. But even in the same brand, their updates are more frequent and allow the addition of several improvements that are not yet found in other …
