The use of data forms simplifies financial data management and input processes
The best feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is the possibility to use data forms to input data and allow users to have a template with the data form. For users, it is not necessary to go with a free form to take data or input data. My automotive customer transitioned from Essbase on-premise to Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud specifically for the data forms functionality. This is the main feature that Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud offers compared to the Essbase on-premise solution. Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud offers the possibility to use data forms for viewing and inputting data. This is the easiest way to perform these actions without using free forms.

Consolidation has become consistent and automated and now delivers accurate monthly group results
The best features SAP Business Planning and Consolidation offers include the ability to see all the entities adding up to these numbers at a click of a button, which avoids manual intervention, with all eliminations automated and each intercompany GL connected, ensuring posting in both sets of books of accounts, resulting in a completed balance sheet with no variances. Out of those features, the IC eliminations and the simultaneous accounting in both books of accounts, along with the drill down of the numbers to the possible T-Code level and the consolidation of all the subsidiaries, has had the biggest impact for me.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"We find it valuable that all the features are combined into one system."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"We have labor queues and workforce planning as well as our complete budget and focus for different business areas in the company, and it is adding so much value."
"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."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"The customization level is excellent."
"After switching to SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, we have achieved specific outcomes such as reduced manual intervention, which led to reduced errors, time saved, and increased confidence in the numbers that we presented."
"Up to the implementation of the application, it used to take weeks to the consolidation team to carry out the entire, monthly, financial consolidation, now it takes them just one or two days to perform the entire process."
 

Cons

"There are some issues with block creation in the memory. Sometimes, when we run a calculation and a new intersection is hit during the calculation, the memory block doesn't get created, which doesn't give the correct result."
"Oracle response time for customer SRs is horrible."
"There were significant issues that led to discontinuing use of the product."
"Oracle initially forced HFM users to migrate to FCCS, which was difficult because moving applications wasn't easy."
"OCI can predict changes in your infrastructure in advance so that customers aren't caught off guard. It would be nice if OCI could predict these changes and notify Administrators without the Administrators asking OCI to do it."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"But there are some limitations. For example, the Attributes feature doesn't do cross-tab reporting based on KPI."
"The support at Oracle is just terrible."
"There are no tutorials or wizards inside the tool, and I think they would be very useful sometimes."
"SAP Business Planning and Consolidation can be improved by implementing further checks on the T-Codes to make them much more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free."
"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."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution and it is priced high."
"It is expensive."
