What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Anaplan or Workday Adaptive Planning are the top recommendations due to their scalability, strong FP&A features” Mistral Small · Corporate performance ma · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Depends on size (enterprise: Anaplan; SMB: Cube), tools (Excel lovers: Vena), and needs (Workday users: Adaptive)” Grok 4.1 Fast · FP&A platforms · comparative prompt · first choice
“Choose Anaplan if you are a large multinational needing complex cross-departmental modeling.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · FP&A platforms · comparative prompt · first choice
“Planning‑centric platform (includes consolidation) | Organizations that want to embed consolidation in a broader FP&A workflow” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Financial consolidation · paraphrase prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid or be cautious about enterprise platforms (Anaplan, Workday Adaptive, Planful, Pigment) unless you have the budget and need for their complexity.” Mistral Small · FP&A platforms · negative prompt · hard negative
“High-End Consolidation Platforms (Anaplan, OneStream, Hyperion): These are powerful but priced for mid-market and large enterprises” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Financial consolidation · budget prompt · hard negative
“you generally want to avoid heavy enterprise platforms like Anaplan or Oracle (which cost tens of thousands annually)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Corporate performance ma · budget prompt · hard negative
“You generally want to avoid enterprise-grade tools (like Anaplan or Workday) which cost thousands per month.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Financial modeling · budget prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Anaplan. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 343 of the 438 answers that named Anaplan and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Anaplan's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Anaplan, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at anaplan.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
