Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"All the reports are prepared automatically."
"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the charts. The reporting functionality is handy for aggregation, when it comes to planning. That ability is fascinating and our users are very happy with it. The charts and the reporting allow our users to see all the data and to see how things are going this year or in the COVID situation. They're seeing everything. Instead of having to check data line by line, they're seeing it in a graph and they're seeing it in charts."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."

"Once you do the budget in Oracle ERP, you can upload it, but it's easier to create and manage budgets in the Oracle budgeting tool itself. For example, if you have a shortfall in the budget, it's easier to manage that and the forms, too, especially if you also have Oracle Forms Management. You can get the forms from somewhere and then transform those forms into budget heads."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"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."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The usability could be better."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"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."
"For HR, the workforce planning out of the box is complicated. For most users, it's not easy, and it requires a learning curve. It's not very user-friendly. It can be improved."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"There is middleware that we need to purchase for our use case that should be provided in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud. We should not have to purchase the additional solution and the integration should be seamless."
"The FR recording studio that is used to build reports is clunky and awful to use. This could be improved a lot. The solution does have problems and limitations."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"Some of the things in this product are just too cumbersome and we don't need them and they make it harder to do certain things, or certain things have to have more specific names or descriptions."
