IBM TM1 - The best solution for your financial planning.
What do you like best about the product?
The product is incredibly flexible. You can find a way to do almost any requirement in it. I also like how it integrates with other IBM products like BI (Cognos Analytics). The excel functionality is also a must have for most finance users. We are upgrading to Planning Analytics and excited about the new excel and dashboarding functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the product can but heads with itself (i.e. some load processes can cause the system to lock up, though this is gradually being improved with each release). The reporting aspect of it isn't super flexible even when integrated with BI. In my past experiences with it some higher ups will want to turn it into the end all/be all solution and hold every type of data for your reporting and your company. IBM can sometimes push this and it is certainly a database in it's own way, but it should not be treated as a fully encompassing data warehouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using TM1 both as a financial planning and reporting tool. It is a fully encompasses solution for the finance business users. We upgraded it from Cognos EP which was incredibly slow and limiting. The speed gains alone are enough to upgrade, but TM1 really provides the flexibility to do everything the business users need. The fact that we can load data directly into it and report directly off of it saves a lot of time and delivers data to the users very efficiently.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at what your current solution lacks and I am betting that TM1 can deliver it. If you are looking for speed, flexiblity, reporting or a variety of user interfaces then TM1 will provide all these and then some. I greatly enjoy developing for it and I have yet to encounter a financial planning or reporting request that I haven't found some way to utilize the software to fulfill.
Love the custom experience our implementation team created! TM1 made it possible!
What do you like best about the product?
Even though there are some hoops to jump through, everything our team has customized with this product comes out on spot. It continues to operate flawlessly once it is streamlined. Our entire community loves the overall product, and our reporting solution is now second to none. We've customized the product to meet our needs perfectly, and continue to prove we can do so as new needs arise.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take a lot of testing to streamline new reports. Once they are perfected, things run so smoothly it's hard to remember all the effort that went into producing them, but it does seem to take some time to perfect the final product. TM1 allows us to do it pretty simply, however, so it's hard to complain when the solution comes out so good in th eend.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving multiple needs of our organization with this single product. We've been able to access multiple data sources and bring them together for a multitude of audiences in an easy to use product that our population truly understands and has started to come to embrace.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time and implement it right. Get good partners. You'll need them but it will be worth it!
Reasonably good software for forecasting

What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
