Saves time and helps efficiency compared to just using Excel but improvements to database features for analytics needed.
Database features for analytics i.e. retrieving data. The biggest flaw of KCI Control9 and previous versions is that all data retrieval is 'view' based. You can not simply define the dimensions and retrieve the data. You have to define the dimensions in a 'view' and only then can you use that 'view' to build ad hoc reports. Another serious flaw is that if you want to share this ad hoc report that you built with another employee, that person will have to set their 'view' dimensions to at a minimum include all the dimension parameters as the report or the whole report will not work. I've heard from KCI that in Control10 they will be eliminating this 'view' restrictions for retrieving data and it's seriously about time. It has been such a handicap to this product.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"If you are using only spreadsheets and have to download your data from various sources then you will have to reconcile these to build reports that make sense, this product will improve your life."

"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"The Excel integration is great."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"Saves time and helps efficiency compared to just using Excel to do Financial Reporting and Budgeting."
 

Cons

"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"From my perspective, I think Infor dEPM is a good solution for clients who want to deep dive into data analysis in finance, but it may be complicated."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
"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."
"It has been such a handicap to this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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