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

"The robustness of the Infocubes, and the possibility of integrating both strong data analysis characteristics with pleasant aesthetic features."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"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."
"I rate the overall solution nine out of ten."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
"We're able to support fifteen to twenty countries globally from Cincinnati, and they can do all their consolidation on our one HFM application."
"If the group is large enough, then I would recommend going ahead with this solution because it's a very good tool for reporting and consolidation."
"Functionality-wise, it is what they say it is. It is the best in class, but it all ties back to your users. If your users are completely enamored with Excel spreadsheets, then breaking those habits is hard."
"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."
"It has reduced the amount of paperwork as multiple people can work on a single form, centralize formula creation window (only one person/team is responsible for creating it), It is also possible to maintain history for X number of years, and compare budgets from previous years through just one form and the process of workflow management."
"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."
 

Cons

"The Inventory module is not so strong when compared with the other software applications in its category!"
"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"The usability could be better."
"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 mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"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."
"Pricing is a significant concern. After moving to PBCS and EPBCS, the per-user license fees can be reduced, particularly for bulk users."
"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."
"The reporting could be improved. It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert, and you may have to use an add-on to simplify it."
"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."
"As an intuitive, user friendly, GUI application, I would rate it a 4/10."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."
"The analytical side of the product could be better and needs to be improved."
"We still have issues and bugs because it's a new release."
 

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."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"The solution is affordable."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
