Empower financial planning with user-friendly and robust features
The best features of Oracle Hyperion revolve around their cloud-based technology, which is gradually moving to cloud solutions such as EPMCSG, while Anaplan uses two engines for calculations, the classic engine and the Essbase engine. Anaplan allows for quick module changes, where adjustments in one module reflect throughout the user experience. In contrast, Oracle Hyperion relies on Essbase as a database with calculation scripts and business rules, and it incorporates Smart View technology for Excel connections, providing a familiar interface for users. Oracle Hyperion is fundamentally a good technology and does not require significant improvements compared to other technologies because it is user-friendly and offers several advantages in financial reporting and consolidation. However, I have observed that Anaplan has built-in UX pages for report preparation, unlike Oracle Hyperion, which often relies on third-party tools such as Hyperion Financial Reporting and Power BI for reporting.

You can use the process mapping module to build processes that can be converted into SOPs. Licensing is unreasonable.
The process-mapping module helped the BPR team in creating detailed process maps quickly. The process converter tool helped the team establish baseline SOPs that can be taken further to implement comprehensive documentation that serves the departments’ needs. The content management part helped in sharing the processes safely with the rest of the organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can do budgeting on time and provide an accurate forecast."
"The ROI is high, and I think they provide a lot of value."
"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
"It is a multi user web based system, which is easier for us to deploy since we have a global presence."
"The latest cloud version is more efficient for financial implementations."
"In the most simplest way, the product allows the availability of data to be predefined as well as customized based on user inputs and requirements."
"Hyperion is one of the best tools in the world; we can do planning and forecasting, store and draw large amounts of data in multiple combinations, integrate with any system to pull data from SAP or SQL Server, and design our own role files to control how we pull file data and store it in our database."
"The process mapping module is highly user friendly and allows users to quickly build processes with thorough details that can be converted into comprehensive end-to-end SOPs."
"The product has so many features, but it has some unique ones that most of the similar products do not have."
"The new QPR Suite 2014 including QPR EnterpriseArchitect, QPR ProcessDesigner, QPR Metrics and QPR ProcessAnalyzer delivers the right capabilities for business management and enterprise architects to support operational development and business transformation cases."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, the reporting features could be visually better, and prettier, than it is so far."
"Configuration is a little complex, it's not very easy. The solution is integrated with Essbase and there are not many users of the Essbase database. If they can provide different modules for each subject area, like supply chain, for inventory forecasting or for order management forecasting, it would make each subject area easier to manage."
"Oracle support has a lot of room for improvement. Our requests for service, bug fixes, and new features take a long time."
"Their documentation could be a little bit more descriptive at places."
"Most of the time it takes three months and you don’t get results."
"The interface could be better. It could be more user-friendly, it is not very intuitive."
"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."
"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."
"There should be an easier way of reporting, or producing, reports in MS Office."
"Mobile features need to be improved."
"The QPR content management module is highly complex and difficult to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
