Automation has streamlined financial reporting but the interface still needs to be more intuitive
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 learning curve in the beginning is a little difficult, but then it becomes easier. Once I know the system, it can be really helpful. However, it is not one of the best software that I have used; it is definitely pretty old school and not as intuitive or user-friendly. Automation in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud is beneficial. The way it works is that a person needs to make the script, telling it to do this or that, and once you do that, it follows pretty easily. I do use automation.

The use of data forms simplifies financial data management and input processes
The best feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is the possibility to use data forms to input data and allow users to have a template with the data form. For users, it is not necessary to go with a free form to take data or input data. My automotive customer transitioned from Essbase on-premise to Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud specifically for the data forms functionality. This is the main feature that Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud offers compared to the Essbase on-premise solution. Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud offers the possibility to use data forms for viewing and inputting data. This is the easiest way to perform these actions without using free forms.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is okay, and I find the technical support from Oracle to be good."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"If you go in with that mindset and resource it properly, it's genuinely transformative for a finance function."
"Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud has impacted my organization by making everything clearer and more centralized."
"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."
"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 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."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"It gives you an end-to-end solution from integrating data from the source system to reporting. So it's a highly recommended tool."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is the ability to have budgeting, finance, and management running in a single tool."
"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."
"We have labor queues and workforce planning as well as our complete budget and focus for different business areas in the company, and it is adding so much value."
"Planning is the most stable and solid tool available in the market."
 

Cons

"Using Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud has changed how my team works together and collaborates, though sometimes the interface feels unintuitive."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud is definitely pretty old school and not as intuitive or user-friendly."
"The problem with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud is that they use Essbase, causing the volume of data to increase rapidly."
"On the cloud, additional security is required."
"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."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"Oracle initially forced HFM users to migrate to FCCS, which was difficult because moving applications wasn't easy."
"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."
"I don’t like this version, but it might get better."
"Oracle made a mistake by forcing HFM users to transition to FCCS before the solution was mature enough."
"Tech support has gone down. Initially when it was on-prem, tech support was very sophisticated and knowledgeable."
"But there are some limitations. For example, the Attributes feature doesn't do cross-tab reporting based on KPI."
"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

"Its licensing covers support and maintenance infrastructure as well."
"It is expensive."
"The solution is free."
"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."
