The #1 Anaplan alternative is Pigment
Anaplan
Multidimensional modeling engine
Granular access controls and audit logs
Real-time integrated planning
Updates happen in real time and across applications, no matter how many users work on the same model.
Updates can take up to several minutes if other actions are being done at the same time.
Customized reporting
Pigment offers advanced formatting options for highly customized reporting, down to the cell level.
Formatting is fixed, which may leave teams unable to produce reports that make insights stand out.
Native direct integrations
Pigment natively integrates with multiple business applications (ERP, CRM, HRIS, BI solutions, and more)
Native integrations are limited to a few source systems.
Business-owned what-if scenario planning
One-click scenario planning, allowing users to quickly visualize and understand the impact of their decisions.
Scenarios need to be anticipated at the time of implementation; beyond that, a re-build may be necessary.
In-product conversations
Teams can easily add comments directly at the cell level, assign tasks and notify collaborators of changes, all in Pigment.
Collaboration in the platform is limited to adding comments on a card.
Limitless planning
Pigment is a sparse engine and therefore workspaces aren’t limited in capacity or number of users, at no additional cost.
Workspace size is limited per user, which may impact the performance of models and the number of dimensions that can be used.
Business-owned maintenance
Business users are able to build, update and maintain their models over time on their own, in any way they want.
Anaplan customers often need to heavily rely on internal experts or third-parties to maintain the platform, which may result in additional costs over time.
Templates
Pigment offers plug & play templates that are highly customizable and modular.
Only used as a reference, most platforms do not allow implementation directly from an existing app or template.
