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…

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 planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"The robustness of the Infocubes, and the possibility of integrating both strong data analysis characteristics with pleasant aesthetic features."
"The Excel integration is great."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"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."
"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"Scalability isn't a problem for Hyperion."
"We are satisfied with this solution and I would recommend Oracle to others."
"Reduced budgeting process from six to eight months, to three months."
"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."
"It is a multi user web based system, which is easier for us to deploy since we have a global presence."
"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."
"One of the best features that we use in Oracle Hyperion is the data integration, as you can slice and dice data and innovate, which is something you can't do in other ERP systems, and this solution offers so many possibilities."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
 

Cons

"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"The usability could be better."
"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."
"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."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"I have a problem with Hyperion when I need to log some changes in the budget. It's hard to know who made which changes in the budget."
"Occasionally, though, we get issues such as process hangs or something similar, although they're usually known bugs the fixes for which we can find in Oracle support fairly easily."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle support has a lot of room for improvement. Our requests for service, bug fixes, and new features take a long time."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"Because my organization is complex and there are different data streams, they don't bolt into Hyperion very well."
"From a technical perspective, the technical support could be improved and the price could be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive."
"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."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"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."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"The solution is affordable."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
