Some of the best features with the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud perform better than OneStream. The flexible modeling capabilities of the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud have helped with optimizing resource allocation. The built-in collaboration tools with the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud have aided communication among me and my clients as well as the clients and stakeholders. The advanced analytics within the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud helps with the performance insights on some of these clients.

"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"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."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"The improvement for the organization is the same as it is with Hyperion Planning plus the license is a lot more affordable and it has no need for in-house equipment."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"Planning is the most stable and solid tool available in the market."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud helped save significant time in creating reports for stakeholders and shareholders."
"It makes it easy for users to get through and see what they have to do next."

"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."

Cons

"The Inventory module is not so strong when compared with the other software applications in its category!"
"The usability could be better."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"OCI can predict changes in your infrastructure in advance so that customers aren't caught off guard. It would be nice if OCI could predict these changes and notify Administrators without the Administrators asking OCI to do it."
"It could be more friendly with Excel."
"But there are some limitations. For example, the Attributes feature doesn't do cross-tab reporting based on KPI."
"For HR, the workforce planning out of the box is complicated. For most users, it's not easy, and it requires a learning curve. It's not very user-friendly. It can be improved."
"Oracle response time for customer SRs is horrible."
"Oracle made a mistake by forcing HFM users to transition to FCCS before the solution was mature enough."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by creating a more visual and user-friendly interface similar to the old ABC analytics."
"Upgrades and patching are a pain in the butt. There are just too many pieces that have to be implemented in the right sequence."
 

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."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution and it is priced high."
"It is expensive."
"The price of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is expensive. However, it solves a lot of issues at the company. Having a better price could make us think about using more cloud products for Oracle and increase usage."
"The solution is free."
