Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Automated reporting.""It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday.""Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements.""The important feature is integration with source data. It connects to various ERP systems, including Workday, Intact, and others. It can also import actuals and compare them to PlanPoint quite easily.""Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed.""It's very stable.""The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions.""We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."

More Adaptive Insights Pros →

"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas.""Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only.""The planning capability is the most valuable feature.""Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."

More Infor dEPM Pros →

"It's basically the same as the other budgeting solutions.""Smart View is a really useful tool because we can have a good API with HFM.""This solution provides a more structured methodology for doing analysis than a tool like Excel. It creates a central database that keeps all information in one place.""We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion.""Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company.""We can integrate with any system and pull data from SAP or SQL Server. We can also design our own role files to establish how we pull the file data and store it in our database.""The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME.""Functionality-wise, it is what they say it is. It is the best in class, but it all ties back to your users. If your users are completely enamored with Excel spreadsheets, then breaking those habits is hard."

Cons
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work.""It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that.""Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions.""Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals.""The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful.""Better user interface (UI).""The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up.""Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."

More Adaptive Insights Cons →

"The latest version has been cloud-enabled, but it requires a deeper understanding of programming skills compared to the previous versions, which were more user-friendly.""The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement.""It's a very expensive solution.""The usability could be better."

More Infor dEPM Cons →

"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly.""We are still having some issues with the ASO Cube. It can take a long time to clear the data in the ASO Cube compared to BSO data-clearing operations. We don't have a specific calculation in the ASO, and we only have these aggregate options on the ASO side. If we need calculations, we have to calculate them in the BSO and pass the data to the ASO Cube for the reporting. That's one of the drawbacks. Oracle could also improve on the data logging side as well.""From a technical perspective, the technical support could be improved and the price could be reduced.""Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain.""Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved.""Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model.""They could support machine learning algorithms for the product.""What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
  • "Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
  • "Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
  • "Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
  • "Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
  • "Pricing is in line with other cloud-based EPM tools. It is a subscription-based model based upon the number of users and site type if it's an admin or end-user type thing."
  • "Adaptive Insights' pricing is relative to its peer competitors. It's certainly competitive compared to a spreadsheet template that you build in Excel. It can be expensive if you need to have 100-500 budget holders giving input and building financial plans. However, in that case, it becomes an extremely good bargain. Compared to its competitors, it offers an excellent value."
  • "It's affordable."
  • More Adaptive Insights Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
  • "It's a very expensive product, and I would rate it at nine out of ten, with ten being the most expensive. There are yearly licensing costs."
  • "The pricing is competitive."
  • More Infor dEPM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
  • "Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
  • "To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
  • "We pay for licensing yearly."
  • "Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
  • "The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
  • "The solution is affordable."
  • "Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
