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.

Pros

"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."
"Hyperion has made our budgeting process and forecast analysis easy and robust, and it is a reliable tool."
"The return on investment for this solution is good."
"The stability is fine and quite user friendly."
"Functionality-wise, it is what they say it is. It is the best in class, but it all ties back to your users. If your users are completely enamored with Excel spreadsheets, then breaking those habits is hard."
"The implementation has been simplified now that it's deployed in the cloud. Also, Hyperion is tightly integrated with Oracle products because Oracle owns it now."
"The latest cloud version is more efficient for financial implementations."
"The fact that Hyperion is a consistent system without any big issues is huge for our users to make decisions based on financial results."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."
"Most of the time it takes three months and you don’t get results."
"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes Oracle Hyperion is slow when there are a lot of users using it."
"Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved."
"The forecasting of values could be simplified in this solution."
"Oracle Hyperion generally has quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"The QPR content management module is highly complex and difficult to use."
"There should be an easier way of reporting, or producing, reports in MS Office."
"Mobile features need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"The solution is affordable."
"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 is not an inexpensive solution."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
