Julius Jagdon - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Tools at Motorola Solutions
The tool is intuitive to use and, through automation, has been a real time-saver
When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user. For example, our RSN needs to approve the ticket first before it's moved to the next person rather than having them all grouped. It would be better if we could see all the tickets grouped at the same time.

Has supported financial consolidation through accurate reporting and global currency conversion
Oracle HFM is excellent for consolidation and reconciliation. It helps me see the general overview of the business across several locations. The drill-through reporting enhances accuracy in financial analysis. Oracle HFM has a schedule that requires reporting, especially one that ties back to my general ledger. I have to report each line item that comprises that number. It helps me fact-check reported numbers with a schedule. For example, with payables, Oracle HFM allows me to have a list of numbers reported per supplier. This provides comfort that the numbers are not fictitious. Additionally, it has a feature that performs fact-checking from P&L to balance sheet. For instance, if depreciation is reported, it must align with what is in the profit or loss account. These features ensure integrity in the reported numbers and allow for quick error detection while serving as a reconciliation tool. The currency conversion feature provides a global view from entity currency to local currency perspective, enabling value checks in different currencies for the company as a whole. In Nigeria, I report in Naira, and I don't need to report in my parent currency. The entity can report in their currency into Oracle HFM, and the parent company converts to their currency. By inputting budget rates, I can convert to any reporting currency, particularly the parent company currency. This feature saves time, increases speed, and allows the parent company to value its subsidiaries quickly. Regarding data integration capabilities for ensuring data consistency and accuracy, it deserves a high rating. For example, with inventory, if there is an impairment, the reported amount in P&L should match the balance sheet's inventory impairment. This level of checking provides confidence in the accuracy of reported figures.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."

"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."

"There are measurable benefits from using Oracle HFM as it reduces manpower and eliminates work duplication."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility and ease of configuration in terms of testing and formula creation."
"Oracle HFM is excellent for consolidation and reconciliation; it helps me see the general overview of the business across several locations."
"You can bring in data from any source and from multiple sources, and you can consolidate that data in HFM."
"The most valuable features are around consolidations, eliminations, conversions."
"Oracle HFM's drill-through reporting has enhanced my customers' financial analysis significantly, allowing users to drill down to the base level in each of the dimensions and even further using Smart View for very granular level of general ledger cost centers, making the whole process more effective for their targets and deadlines."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."

"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"The intercompany reporting function in this tool needs improvement, particularly being able to run reports in batches, rather than one at a time."
"In terms of improvement, one challenge with Oracle HFM is the need for technical knowledge in writing SQL syntax for custom extensions."
"Oracle HFM could be improved or enhanced in handling metadata or the dimensionality."
"Improvements can be made by possibly different interfaces to modernize it, more automation in scripting, and better integration with third-party solutions and reporting capabilities."
"It's a difficult process to try to edit, configure, or change the business rules that exist and work within HFM."
"If there could be data integration between HFM and the accounting software that would be ideal."
"The solution has integration challenges. We need a simple tool that is fool-proof for the data that is submitted not only for consolidation purposes but also for performance management and reporting purposes."
"The complexity is okay. I don't see it as super complex. The solution could have more functionality to make it a little bit more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is very expensive."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"Kissflow's licensing cost is lower than other products. However, the contract has changed with the second version they have given us, which is the low-code one."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) uses the named user licensing model. There's different pricing depending on HFM and Essbase planning."
