Easy to use and requires less time to learn or understand its features

I think the product is good in terms of ease of use. The interface looks really nice and very easy to use. Every command appears in the icon. It looks like you don't have to understand everything about the command. You do not necessarily have to know more, or I would say that there is less time for our study about the products. Functionality-wise, it is quite easy to use and requires less time to understand or learn about the product. I am a software vendor, so I do not use the tool myself. I use it for my clients. My clients mostly use it for budgeting and timing purposes. I would say that's really less maintenance at all because they can do everything by themselves. It is good in terms of ease of use.

Our company is a partner of Infor in Germany. We mainly use Infor DEPM for finance solutions Infor DEPM has features that are well-prepared by Infor. I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements. This makes it easier to install and work with. With the prepared…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."

"I think the product is good in terms of ease of use."

"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."

"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."

"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."

"The ease of being able to get the data into BOARD is what makes it nice for people with a semi-IT background."

"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."

"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."

More Board pros

"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."

"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."

"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."

"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."

"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."

"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."

"Since it is an enterprise-capable solution, people are not worried about security, giving data, the ability to manage complex consolidation, and its ability to modify reporting."

"Stable and scalable solution with a valuable data integration feature which allows the slicing and dicing of data. It also has a workforce planning feature that allows you to bring in your HR data."

"The feature that allows automation of the budgeting and forecasting process is extremely valuable, especially when compared to Excel."

"The stability is fine and quite user friendly."

"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."

"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."

"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."

More Oracle Hyperion pros

Cons

"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."

"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."

"It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website."

"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."

"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."

"The setup was a bit complex."

"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."

"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."

More Board 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."

"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions. Integration is a concern."

"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."

"The usability could be better."

"It's a very expensive solution."

"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."

"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."

"Pricing is a significant concern. After moving to PBCS and EPBCS, the per-user license fees can be reduced, particularly for bulk users."

"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."

"The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult."

"It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert."

"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."

"I have a problem with Hyperion when I need to log some changes in the budget. It's hard to know who made which changes in the budget."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."

"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."

"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."

"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."

"In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."

"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."

"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."

"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."

"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."

"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."

"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."

"We pay for licensing yearly."

"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."

"The solution is affordable."

"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
