While Planning Analytics is a robust tool, there are a few downsides or challenges that users often encounter. While the TM1 engine is designed for speed, some users report performance issues with extremely large and complex models which can slow down operations. IBM has invested resources into the database but lacks on the front-end side and it is almost a requirement to leverage other 3rd party tools to cover IDE like development and web experiences.

Most things are just a case of getting used to using the Cloud, and you do lose a level of control around things like software updates. Another problem is that IBM Planning Analytics does not have an app; this means that the users are literally stuck up with their plans. Ways could be designed for internal and external people to ideate easily and then collaborate on those ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IBM has also been very open to our feedback and suggestions on how things could be done better. They've always reverted promptly when we had questions, worries or use case talks. This kind of help was essential for us to make sure that we could use the tool in total capacity. Planning Analytics is very fast and good at what it does. Minimal viable products sent to internal customers work well and the direction and speed of creating products can be exciting. It is a flexible tool that manages a variety of tasks.

You had to give up some of that control, like when the program was changed because it was a cloud based method. I also think that customers would gain a lot from having a security guide, logs, literature created automatically and native connections. Exactly when these characteristics are in demand, they have to be made by hand. Thank goodness, we just put in place a licensing system that is more open and easy to use.
