Featured Reviews

Julia Lupidii - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly performance management with intuitive approach
I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy. In many organizations, there's a mix of IT professionals and business users with varying levels of technical expertise. One of the strengths of the solution includes a feature similar to SmartView, is that it allows users to work with Excel. Since Excel is a widely familiar tool, it reduces the learning curve and makes it more accessible to a broader audience within the organization. The workflow feature within the solution is particularly valuable. It simplifies complex processes into a step-by-step sequence, making it easy for users to follow along.
AhmedHaridy - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers flexibility and ease of configuration
The initial setup of Oracle HFM is generally straightforward and not overly complex. The deployment time for Oracle HFM varies with the resources, but it usually takes around three to eight months, with an average of three to four months. The deployment process for Oracle HFM involves several key steps. It begins with the installation of Oracle software, followed by gathering requirements and relevant documents. These documents help define the report formats and service needs. Next, the team configures the system, starting with the enterprise structure, which needs to align with the ERP system. Data loading and configuration follow, with Oracle HFM typically requiring more resources compared to other systems like SuccessFactors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Has an APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included."
"I've primarily worked with CCH Tagetik as a consultant, handling implementations and not providing day-to-day user support. I initially appreciated the unified platform, the Ownership Structure Register, which benefits certain entities. The workflow feature is great, but it can become overly detailed and lacks clear guidance on design. The solution is good in terms of storage."
"The most valuable feature of CCH Tagetik is form creation."
"The ability for integration and automatic loading from the Oracle system into CCH Tagetik is very valuable."
"I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy."
"Financial consolidation and reporting tool with good built-in features such as currency exchange and elimination."
"The tool is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility and ease of configuration in terms of testing and formula creation."
"It is an expensive product but delivers what it promises, ensuring regulatory compliance, reducing risks associated with spreadsheets, and providing a better return on investment based on usage."
"You can bring in data from any source and from multiple sources, and you can consolidate that data in HFM."
"The most valuable features are around consolidations, eliminations, conversions."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a very user-friendly software."
 

Cons

"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
"There is a need for improvement in the ability to generate all reports from one click, like both P&L and balance sheets, to be available together in Excel."
"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
"The intercompany reporting function in this tool needs improvement, particularly being able to run reports in batches, rather than one at a time."
"If there could be data integration between HFM and the accounting software that would be ideal."
"It's a difficult process to try to edit, configure, or change the business rules that exist and work within HFM."
"Integration is an area where it lacks and can be improved."
"The complexity is okay. I don't see it as super complex. The solution could have more functionality to make it a little bit more flexible."
"The solution has integration challenges. We need a simple tool that is fool-proof for the data that is submitted not only for consolidation purposes but also for performance management and reporting purposes."
"In terms of improvement, one challenge with Oracle HFM is the need for technical knowledge in writing SQL syntax for custom extensions."
"Improvements can be made by possibly different interfaces to modernize it, more automation in scripting, and better integration with third-party solutions and reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is affordable."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) uses the named user licensing model. There's different pricing depending on HFM and Essbase planning."
