    Chose IBM Planning Analytics
    Other options, namely Anaplan, Oracle ePm Cloud, and SAP Analytics Cloud, were also considered. Anaplan's interface lacked analytical depth. For product design metrics, flexibility was not as good in Oracle ePm Cloud. The final choice was moved by the fact that it was driven …

    IBM allows to build flexible models from the scratch. IBM Planning Analytics with Watson does not include non-planning features in one package, so you don't pay for something you may not need.
