What do Gartner, Forrester, and IDC have in common? They all named Anaplan a planning leader.
You don’t need an oracle to see the future. You need Anaplan.
Still using Oracle Hyperion for financial planning? Using a rigid legacy system is about as reliable as seeking insights from a fortune teller. Only Anaplan delivers the real-time intelligence, predictions, and planning your finance teams need. No crystal ball required.
What if you could connect strategy and plans to decisions and results?
It’s not magical thinking. It’s Anaplan for Finance.
Let’s face it: Oracle’s solution had its day. But now support for its on-premises Hyperion application is ending, and it’s time to give your business the upgrade it deserves. Now you have a choice: Stick with the outdated software that limits your agility or give your organization the power to see, plan, and run your business for what is next.
Switch to Anaplan and see what’s in the cards for your business.
Reduced total cost of ownership
Looking at Anaplan vs. Oracle, Anaplan costs less to deploy, upgrade, and maintain. Plus, it accelerates value by freeing resources to do more, faster.
Increased agility and resilience
Create what if scenarios, stress your assumptions, and analyze strategic impacts, alongside predictive forecasts—giving you speed and confidence in your path forward.
Reduced total cost of ownership
Build a single source of truth across finance and operations with built-in dashboards, management reporting, and real-time analytics for continuous forecasting. All on one singular cloud platform.
Industry analysts agree.
Connected Planning is essential.
No matter what you call this type of planning—connected, extended, or xP&A—it’s precisely what modern finance teams
need to maximize performance. And it’s what industry leaders are already doing.

Don’t just take our word for it
Many customers now enjoy the benefits of moving from Oracle Hyperion to Anaplan.
Anaplan’s flexibility with model building is a key differentiator for us.
We were also looking for a tool that gave us a high level of user experience, particularly with dashboard navigation and data visualization. Being business friendly with very little IT dependency was also a key consideration after being on Oracle Hyperion for a long time. Anaplan was the only vendor that satisfied all of these criteria.
Over time, Oracle Hyperion has become more of an administrative tool than a cutting-edge enterprise planning tool.
With Anaplan, navigating between cost centers and toggling between dashboards quickly and easily is a huge plus—and the ability to update various cost centers is very impressive.
