Financial Planning & Analysis Financial Analyst (Canada) at a construction company with 5,001-10,000 employees
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.

Adaptive Planning Manager at Alight
Adaptive scales well, simple to create new budget versions and models
For the organization I used to work at, it streamlined the process of creating budgets. It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday. So that made it easy. Reporting was pretty easy to set up as well. It streamlined the amount of time it took to do the budget as well as kind of making it simple to implement a rolling forecast process. So, it really was more just a productivity increase and time shortening for the budgeting and forecasting process.

Pros

"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 solution offers well-integrated and dynamic platforms for all disciplines of enterprise performance management."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is okay, and I find the technical support from Oracle to be good."
"It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday."
"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"More accurate, reliable, and timely forecasting."
"It's very stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"The system has allowed us to take more than 90 spreadsheets and combine them into one system which automatically calculates based on assumptions, dimensions, etc."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
 

Cons

"On the cloud, additional security is required."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"We do have issues getting information on our customer success turnover."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing covers support and maintenance infrastructure as well."
"Adaptive Insights' pricing is relative to its peer competitors. It's certainly competitive compared to a spreadsheet template that you build in Excel. It can be expensive if you need to have 100-500 budget holders giving input and building financial plans. However, in that case, it becomes an extremely good bargain. Compared to its competitors, it offers an excellent value."
"It's affordable."
"Pricing is in line with other cloud-based EPM tools. It is a subscription-based model based upon the number of users and site type if it's an admin or end-user type thing."
"Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
"Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
"Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
"Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
