Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"Oracle Hyperion is an advanced analytical calculation engine that can handle aggregation."
"The platform is very easy to use from a user perspective, especially for nontechnical experts."
"The roll-up potential of the product is very good, meaning we have detailed information and we want it to be summarized, based on geography, based on different product lines, or based on different charts of accounts in the general ledger. It rolls up the information in a very concise way. This makes it easy to understand the overall performance, for it's forecasting aspects, or quarterly reporting, year to year, or month to month reporting."
"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."
"It's basically the same as the other budgeting solutions."
"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 tool is very scalable and powerful. It helps us with financial reporting and performance reporting. It is a very good tool for consolidation and budgeting. We are dependent on it for reporting."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
 

Cons

"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"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."
"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 usability could be better."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"I have not seen return on investment from using Oracle Hyperion."
"All the planning systems out there are great. It doesn't matter which company you use. They're all great. I've seen demonstrations on a number of them, but it all boils down to the culture within the organization itself to use that functionality, understand it, and help drive it. I've had Oracle salespeople do demonstrations, and it looked really good. We get it on board, and everybody still sticks to their Excel spreadsheets because companies are a lot more complex than what you could deliver on the planning system. So, there should be more education on the capabilities, and there should be more understanding of organizations in terms of the way they access the data in order to plan."
"The interface could be better. It could be more user-friendly, it is not very intuitive."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"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."
"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures."
"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."
"Configuration is a little complex, it's not very easy. The solution is integrated with Essbase and there are not many users of the Essbase database. If they can provide different modules for each subject area, like supply chain, for inventory forecasting or for order management forecasting, it would make each subject area easier to manage."
 

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."
"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."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"The solution is affordable."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
