Good performance but requires some skills to develop
What do you like best about the product?
OLAP engine has good performance if the developer knows what she/he is doing. You are able to do all kinds of stuff with TM1/PA, therefore you can create and combine all kinds of different models into one holistic planning solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Age has started to show in the product, although workspace has been a good addition of late. Lack of version control and modern development tools is bit of a drawback especially for new developers. If you have gotten used to Architect, it's not that big of a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Financial planning, budgetig, forecasting, HR planning, Sales and operations planning. OLAP technology is a blank canvas and you can model things the way you want.
IBM Planning TM1 Review
What do you like best about the product?
The TM1 engine's performance is amazing. Data retrievals are extraordinary fast. TM1 object migration is very simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have been having challenges resolving application security vulnerabilites. Security has been a priority for our company and getting vulnerabilties resolved takes quite some time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Planning Analytics, we are creating a global platform. Because of TM1's performance latency in the past, we were not able to achieve this. Now with the Planning Analytics platform, we are able to get all our TM1 regional instances into 1 platform.
A Greater Product
What do you like best about the product?
IBM Planning Analytics changes the way that Budgeting can be faced by a Company. It take more agility, networking, security, and the capacity to do more with less. The reports are very easy do do and customize. We can interact with contributors with a Contribution Flow, builing roles very fast, working with very big Cubes with milions of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just little points can be improved. One point is the product price. Another great point is the establish of IBM Cloud. We have faced some problems in SaaS enviroment. We can figure out some problems with people that feel better with Excel spread Sheet. So is important do workshops in the project Start.

We are solving problems in Health Care, Automotive and Finance Industries. We delivered solutions that the costumers can work with scenarios, spreading budget, and bottom line optmization.

planning analytics review
What do you like best about the product?
Speed of query results. Processing power and result speed is the best factor in tm1.

Usage for consumers could be better. The interface isn't easy to figure out unless given a proper introduction and course.

A powerful and ever evolving technology
What do you like best about the product?
IBM is consistently looking for feedback and introducing new features to provide a better user experience and improve the server stability
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately as somewhat of a corner case (using a very large distributed Linux setup) we do end up with multiple stability issues leading to server crashes throughout the year. These issues are often hard to track down and resolve without large upgrade or configuration efforts which consume a large amount of time.

We use PA to solve our Finance and reporting needs.
Complete but slightly cluttered

The ability to have basic settings and capabilities for end users while at the same time offering dynamic high level power users the ability to pull data in multiple formats.

Because it is still growing and changing (which is understandable) sometimes support is slow or lacking. O

Time. The ability to use both Cognos Analytics and Planning Analytics allows us to import GL data into our daily Planning Analytics environment which helps close out the monthly process a lot quicker than before we used TM1.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan well.
TM1 Product Review
What do you like best about the product?
I personally love the DBRW functionality they make life so much easier when you can link multiple workbooks together and with one change of a dimension you can update all the workbooks together.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not a huge fan of PAX I find it rather confusing at times and then I just don't really like the layout look.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are strengthening the forecasting and budget process with it, every day making life a little easier by tying up loose ends and working through outdated materials.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Practice the DBRW's because once you are able to create workbooks that use them to the maximum capability they can completely transform your business and drive how you will make decisions.
