Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"Once you do the budget in Oracle ERP, you can upload it, but it's easier to create and manage budgets in the Oracle budgeting tool itself. For example, if you have a shortfall in the budget, it's easier to manage that and the forms, too, especially if you also have Oracle Forms Management. You can get the forms from somewhere and then transform those forms into budget heads."
"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 workforce, the cube database, is the most valuable feature where you do planning for your headcounts."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation. We don't have to do reporting in Excel anymore, which has cut down on the errors and the efficiency of our close time."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"Some of the things in this product are just too cumbersome and we don't need them and they make it harder to do certain things, or certain things have to have more specific names or descriptions."
"The FR recording studio that is used to build reports is clunky and awful to use. This could be improved a lot. The solution does have problems and limitations."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"For HR, the workforce planning out of the box is complicated. For most users, it's not easy, and it requires a learning curve. It's not very user-friendly. It can be improved."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
"There is middleware that we need to purchase for our use case that should be provided in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud. We should not have to purchase the additional solution and the integration should be seamless."
"The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools."
