3. Demantra enables you to do a manual over-ride on the Forecast. Human intervention is required in high value products which do not have a very good historical data patterns. For such products Demantra maynot give the best possible forecast and Demand Planners need to manually over-ride the generated forecast.
4. Demantra can be used to develop a multi-echelon Forecasts. Forecasting needs to be done for different products at different levels.
5. Lets you connect to multiple data sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

2. Performance (worksheets) gets his with large amount of data.
3. Issue with general levels like we were not able to consider historical data loaded in a general level to generate Forecast from a different forecasting profile. Example: Quantity_Form in Engine profile should be flexible enough to consider the data/column from General Level data table just like it takes from Sales_Data table.

Demantra is a powerful planning tool when a good forecast is received from operations. It effectively feeds order recommendations into ASCP for our planning team to procure products. It can be rearranged and set up based on user preferences, which empowers the user. Tableau or BI reports can be created using this data to gauge performance and provide feedback to those entering forecast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dislike the rigidity and maintenance required to prevent forecast from being allocated to jobs/rigs/locations which have not been requested to have been removed from the system. It would be nice to have links to training modules for the users as self help mechanism. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is basically a tool which has BM on servers and under BM different options and then we need to write codes for data collections and manipulation which happens at DB. I feel all of this should happen at one place. Which can be an effective implementation of the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Standard logic of data proportion from higher level to lower levels. Performance management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to pivot the series rather fluidly. It's almost like a field list selection box for an Excel pivot table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Using 7.3.1.5. It has a hard time pulling large data sets. Sometimes I want the ability to compile a tabular kind of table structure so I can export the values and manipulate it somewhere else. Not that I wouldn't love to use Oracle's BI, but business security limitations sometimes make it hard. If the records exceed a couple thousand lines with about 10 fields, it really has a hard time and often crashes. Also, in the chart functionality, I would have expected some more color, shape, chart customization options. After all it's supposed to be your tool to sort through demand effectively.
