Customizable features streamline installation and integration challenges remain
Our company is a partner of Infor in Germany. We mainly use Infor DEPM for finance solutions Infor DEPM has features that are well-prepared by Infor. I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements. This makes it easier to install and work with. With the prepared…

Facilitates timely decision making and enhances reporting efficiency
We are going to re-implement the Oracle Hyperion system due to changes in our chart of account process and some other factors. We were analyzing whether to move to a cloud system, EPM Cloud. We have already proceeded with our Oracle Hyperion re-implementation with the vendor, and it is in the approval process. All options have been evaluated. We have made comparisons between EPM Cloud and Oracle Hyperion. Oracle Hyperion is not too user-friendly. EPM Cloud has more support towards functional users who can generate reports according to their own needs. There are specific reasons why we have not moved to the cloud, such as our various processes including reconciliations. We do not prefer customization in Oracle Hyperion, but due to business needs, there may be a few minimal customizations made. The forms are a bit complex for functional users. To create and open forms is not simple. We need trained personnel, and training is essential to use it efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"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."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"The platform is very easy to use from a user perspective, especially for nontechnical experts."
"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."
"Reduced budgeting process from six to eight months, to three months."
"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."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
"We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."
 

Cons

"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"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."
"The Inventory module is not so strong when compared with the other software applications in its category!"
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"There can be an improvement in many regards with the dimensions, the metadata, the interfaces, as well as the integration."
"There's something known as a data block that Hyperion generates for each and every transaction. Sometimes it does not generate and we need to identify those issues and fix them manually."
"I found the initial setup to be complex."
"Pricing is a significant concern. After moving to PBCS and EPBCS, the per-user license fees can be reduced, particularly for bulk users."
"Oracle support is not quite responsive."
"We still have issues and bugs because it's a new release."
"The database crashes without any warnings or reasons."
"The solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
"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."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"The solution is affordable."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
