Ashutosh Abhishek - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time reporting streamlines decision-making but technical support could improve
Integrating narrative reporting helps the whole organization, allowing each person in the department to understand the flow. I was fortunate to get initiated in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud first, as that was the first project where I was placed during campus placement from college. It is the best solution currently in the market, though it is mostly designed for bigger organizations. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud a 10.
MichaelFox - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast, accurate, and extremely scalable
The most valuable feature is that it is a cloud-based system so I can access it from anywhere, with any browser, on any device. It's the only major accounting ERP system on the market that was designed specifically for the cloud, the other ones were adapted to the cloud. Intacct was always designed with the cloud in mind, and it shows. Additionally, its multi-entity design is elegant, intuitive, and easy to master. Transacting and reporting across all entities from a single log-in is fantastic The user interface is sleek and consistent throughout the software, enabling users to adapt quickly and to work efficiently. The financial report writer is comprehensive and designed to enhance the user experience. I eliminated all of my Excel-based financial reports. The sub-ledgers are well designed and provide the user with tools and functions that improve efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They provide tools certified to work on-site, in the cloud, or in a hybrid scenario, and this flexibility is valuable for various business sizes."
"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."
"I value Oracle's flexibility and customization levels."
"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."
"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 customization level is excellent."
"We previously used Oracle EDS, and when comparing it to this solution, this solution has a much better interface. There are lots of advantages of the new solutions. Having it on the cloud, we are able to forget about keeping them updated or taking care of the database. We have minimal maintenance."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"Its custom reports feature is also noteworthy, as it provides flexibility for users to create their reports, tailored to their specific areas of expertise."
"The product is easy to use."
"Sage Intacct, a full-fledged ERP, can handle complexity that smaller accounting software cannot handle."
"The solution helps us create entity models for each acquisition as we acquire companies.."
"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."
"The most significant advantage of this solution is its pure cloud-based nature."
"We also use some of the other Sage solutions and for the most part, everything was integrated in the manner that I found beneficial."
"It's a powerhouse and it delivers. It has really great audit trails in it, which add so much value that the other systems don't have."
 

Cons

"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"Oracle initially forced HFM users to migrate to FCCS, which was difficult because moving applications wasn't easy."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by creating a more visual and user-friendly interface similar to the old ABC analytics."
"Oracle made a mistake by forcing HFM users to transition to FCCS before the solution was mature enough."
"We have had some pharma manufacturers use Intacct at a very early stage and move to other ERP packages to maintain manufacturing controls and documentation needed for FDA-regulated entities."
"There's a little bit of room for improvement in the way that accounts payable approval workflows are set up. They could be a little more powerful than they are."
"The inventory module is quite tricky to use."
"While we can create, post, and manage general entries, we face a limitation in allocating multiple JL accounts."
"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."
"It would be good if the training were perfect for all controllers, to teach them the basic tools and how to use everything in Sage Intacct."
"The area where I would like to see significant improvement is in stock management."
"In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is expensive."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution and it is priced high."
"The solution is free."
"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
"It's reasonably priced, offering fixed pricing, which is quite fair."
"Compared to other ERP systems on the market, it offers competitive and reasonable pricing."
"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
