Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Facilitates timely decision making and enhances reporting efficiency
We are going to re-implement the Oracle Hyperion system due to changes in our chart of account process and some other factors. We were analyzing whether to move to a cloud system, EPM Cloud. We have already proceeded with our Oracle Hyperion re-implementation with the vendor, and it is in the approval process. All options have been evaluated. We have made comparisons between EPM Cloud and Oracle Hyperion. Oracle Hyperion is not too user-friendly. EPM Cloud has more support towards functional users who can generate reports according to their own needs. There are specific reasons why we have not moved to the cloud, such as our various processes including reconciliations. We do not prefer customization in Oracle Hyperion, but due to business needs, there may be a few minimal customizations made. The forms are a bit complex for functional users. To create and open forms is not simple. We need trained personnel, and training is essential to use it efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."
"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."
"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."
"Reporting was dramatically improved."
"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 is one of the best tools in the world; we can do planning and forecasting, store and draw large amounts of data in multiple combinations, integrate with any system to pull data from SAP or SQL Server, and design our own role files to control how we pull file data and store it in our database."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"The ROI is high, and I think they provide a lot of value."
"The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."
"Oracle Hyperion is fairly user-friendly and not too complicated. The forecasting, it's really good. It's sometimes slow when there are a lot of users using it and we can have up to approximately 300 users using it. However, you can do it in Excel because there's an Excel add-in. This is a benefit because a lot of people do this way instead of having to go into the planning application itself."
"One can see that it's a mature product because it addresses all the requirements that you must have for financial consolidation and for budgeting and planning, and it's really easy to use."
"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."
 

Cons

"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."
"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble."
"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."
"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."
"I would like to see more integrations with third-party vendors such as BigSense and SAP. I'm looking forward to seeing more interface-related content."
"The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult."
"We have had a little difficulty with financial reports being buggy in the client."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"I would not recommend implementing FDM as it is falling away and will not be supported in the near future."
"Improvements are needed in the tool's performance."
"The EPM suite, as its capabilities increase, requires upgrading your servers and keeping up with the technology."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
