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

"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."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"It has given us the ability to not only deliver key reports and metrics, but also to make them available on a self service basis."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"The Excel integration is great."
"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"The feature that allows automation of the budgeting and forecasting process is extremely valuable, especially when compared to Excel."
"The platform is very easy to use from a user perspective, especially for nontechnical experts."
"This solution provides a more structured methodology for doing analysis than a tool like Excel, creating a central database that keeps all information in one place and allowing 200 spreadsheets to be replaced by one multidimensional repository."
"We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"The implementation has been simplified now that it's deployed in the cloud. Also, Hyperion is tightly integrated with Oracle products because Oracle owns it now."
"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."
"The ease of use and the integration with our business are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"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."
"The bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
"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."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult."
"I would not recommend implementing FDM as it is falling away and will not be supported in the near future."
"The analytical side of the product could be better and needs to be improved."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"There can be an improvement in many regards with the dimensions, the metadata, the interfaces, as well as the integration."
"From a technical perspective, the technical support could be improved and the price could be reduced."
"Pricing is a significant concern. After moving to PBCS and EPBCS, the per-user license fees can be reduced, particularly for bulk users."
"Our experience with the support team was not great."
 

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."
"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."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"The solution is affordable."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"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."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
