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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Not only has it halved the time it takes to build the annual budget, but the result targets and outputs are much more accurate."
"The solution automates the planning processes and does it in real-time."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"We're were amazed at the ease Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud was to implement and how good the design was."
"The flexible modeling capabilities of the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud have helped with optimizing resource allocation."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"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."
"Planning is the most stable and solid tool available in the market."
 

Cons

"There is a steeper learning curve for power users, but Axiom provides outstanding support and training resources."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"The tool has its flaws but most of time (99%), it is the implementer's fault that you have a bad or slow model."
"But there are some limitations. For example, the Attributes feature doesn't do cross-tab reporting based on KPI."
"Oracle response time for customer SRs is horrible."
"It could be more friendly with Excel."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"The support at Oracle is just terrible."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
