So, the drill-down property makes it easy to troubleshoot the errors while operating functions. In addition to this, Anaplan sales also offer the “fat fingering” key to remove the data easily. It is easy to integrate with other systems and build the best product development team for users. > > **Cons**: Anaplan is a good tool to work with but it has some limitations which make it less demanding. This software doesn't go well with the high integration functions and doesn't offer a wide range of event workflows. Moreover, even at high granularity, this tool doesn't facilitate good report analytical services. > > The best thing about Anaplan software is that it offers multiple services to the larger establishment to develop the features according to their needs. So, this tool provides immediate and hassle-free results. Even though, you can design a whole model within a few hours using this software. ----- ### "Better than PowerBI" — 5.0/5 > **Nicolas** | *8 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to use platform that keeps up to date on our reporting that integrates with our single sign on well > > **Cons**: takes some getting use to on how to navigate through the different tabs but once you learn it, its user friendly > > overall very satisfied with Anaplan. i would recommend this over using PowerBI for similar reporting ----- ### "Anaplan can manage large data but lacks the new bells and whistles" — 3.0/5 > **Pat** | *23 April 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Anaplan has the ability to support a very large data set for an enterprise level organization with multiple users > > **Cons**: The code base is hard to master, making uploading changes into Anaplan difficult and time consuming.
