Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Empower financial planning with user-friendly and robust features
The best features of Oracle Hyperion revolve around their cloud-based technology, which is gradually moving to cloud solutions such as EPMCSG, while Anaplan uses two engines for calculations, the classic engine and the Essbase engine. Anaplan allows for quick module changes, where adjustments in one module reflect throughout the user experience. In contrast, Oracle Hyperion relies on Essbase as a database with calculation scripts and business rules, and it incorporates Smart View technology for Excel connections, providing a familiar interface for users. Oracle Hyperion is fundamentally a good technology and does not require significant improvements compared to other technologies because it is user-friendly and offers several advantages in financial reporting and consolidation. However, I have observed that Anaplan has built-in UX pages for report preparation, unlike Oracle Hyperion, which often relies on third-party tools such as Hyperion Financial Reporting and Power BI for reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"Oracle has an integrated solution for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Hyperion, and it keeps the two platforms opened up to each other."
"The product itself, right now, especially on the Hyperion planning side, is the industry leading software for what it does."
"The ease of use and the integration with our business are the most valuable features."
"The fact that Hyperion is a consistent system without any big issues is huge for our users to make decisions based on financial results."
"The tool does all our budgeting and forecasting without much manual work, so it's now all automated, saving us both time and from many human errors."
"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."
"Smart View is a really useful tool because we can have a good API with HFM."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
 

Cons

"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"I would like to see more integrations with third-party vendors such as BigSense and SAP. I'm looking forward to seeing more interface-related content."
"The solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
"It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert."
"Pricing is a significant concern. After moving to PBCS and EPBCS, the per-user license fees can be reduced, particularly for bulk users."
"The technical support for EPM is bad."
"I have not seen return on investment from using Oracle Hyperion."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."
