Has supported effective budget planning but needs better data management and performance improvements
The problem with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud is that they use Essbase, causing the volume of data to increase rapidly. My customer has been using it for five years, and the database has increased to two or three terabytes, which is too big. Oracle has a limit on the database for each customer, notifying that the maximum is only three terabytes, requiring me to back it up elsewhere. The use of Essbase results in rapid database growth, which is an issue I think Oracle needs to improve. While the functions in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud are good, when I create formulas in the dimensions and refresh the data after making new dimensions, elements, or formulas, it takes a long time. I think this performance issue might be due to the large dataset, but since the system is on the cloud, the performance is still poor.

Flexible modeling capabilities have optimized resource allocation and collaboration tools aid communication
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud has impacted my organization by making everything clearer and more centralized."
"If you go in with that mindset and resource it properly, it's genuinely transformative for a finance function."
"Technical support is okay, and I find the technical support from Oracle to be good."
"The solution offers well-integrated and dynamic platforms for all disciplines of enterprise performance management."
"The best features of Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud are that it is customizable, allowing me to filter it really well to know exactly what I want."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Purchasing this product indeed is a value addition; it's not going to be a bomb, it's not going to add any kind of liability, and it will have quite a positive impact on a company."
"The most valuable features are the Planning forums, the ability to do all sorts of translation, and the ability to move data about with relative ease if the coding isn't too difficult."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"The tool improves the organizational budgeting process in several ways. One significant aspect is the extensionable functionality it offers. To illustrate, consider a scenario where a company has factories in Mexico producing Volkswagen and Kentucky producing Ford."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"The flexible modeling capabilities of the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud have helped with optimizing resource allocation."
"It makes it easy for users to get through and see what they have to do next."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel, and the ease of pulling in data and reporting and ease of getting quickly at data at different levels is great."
"Planning is the most stable and solid tool available in the market."
 

Cons

"The problem with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud is that they use Essbase, causing the volume of data to increase rapidly."
"The customer support for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud has been somewhat inconsistent. For critical issues, the response is reasonably fast; however, for more complex configuration questions, we often get passed around before finding someone who really understands the product deeply."
"Integration of AI, IoT, and RPA-based automation and prediction features with the solution will be a great plus. Oracle is continuously investing efforts in this direction and new features are being released on a continuous basis."
"Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud is definitely pretty old school and not as intuitive or user-friendly."
"On the cloud, additional security is required."
"Using Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud has changed how my team works together and collaborates, though sometimes the interface feels unintuitive."
"There are some issues with block creation in the memory. Sometimes, when we run a calculation and a new intersection is hit during the calculation, the memory block doesn't get created, which doesn't give the correct result."
"But there are some limitations. For example, the Attributes feature doesn't do cross-tab reporting based on KPI."
"I don’t like this version, but it might get better."
"Oracle response time for customer SRs is horrible."
"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."
"It would be nice to have better performance."
"Cloud services are what I would like to see improved, specifically Planning Cloud and Essbase on Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing covers support and maintenance infrastructure as well."
"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."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution and it is priced high."
"The solution is free."
"It is expensive."
