Customizable features streamline installation and integration challenges remain
Our company is a partner of Infor in Germany. We mainly use Infor DEPM for finance solutions Infor DEPM has features that are well-prepared by Infor. I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements. This makes it easier to install and work with. With the prepared…

Empower financial planning with user-friendly and robust features
The best features of Oracle Hyperion revolve around their cloud-based technology, which is gradually moving to cloud solutions such as EPMCSG, while Anaplan uses two engines for calculations, the classic engine and the Essbase engine. Anaplan allows for quick module changes, where adjustments in one module reflect throughout the user experience. In contrast, Oracle Hyperion relies on Essbase as a database with calculation scripts and business rules, and it incorporates Smart View technology for Excel connections, providing a familiar interface for users. 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. However, I have observed that Anaplan has built-in UX pages for report preparation, unlike Oracle Hyperion, which often relies on third-party tools such as Hyperion Financial Reporting and Power BI for reporting.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Budgeting and consolidation are the most valuable features in Infor dEPM, and the budgeting process and consolidation features prove very valuable when businesses work with the system."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"This solution provides a more structured methodology for doing analysis than a tool like Excel. It creates a central database that keeps all information in one place."
"The tool is very scalable and powerful. It helps us with financial reporting and performance reporting. It is a very good tool for consolidation and budgeting. We are dependent on it for reporting."
"Oracle Hyperion is an advanced analytical calculation engine that can handle aggregation."
"We can integrate with any system and pull data from SAP or SQL Server. We can also design our own role files to establish how we pull the file data and store it in our database."
"Scalability isn't a problem for Hyperion."
"This is a customizable product. Our implementation was designed to fit our needs."
"It's a very good program and it's useful for consolidation."
"Its major impact is that it reduced manual work since using Oracle Hyperion, and Oracle Hyperion data can now be updated, with data loads completed in 30 minutes."
 

Cons

"The latest version has been cloud-enabled, but it requires a deeper understanding of programming skills compared to the previous versions, which were more user-friendly."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"The usability could be better."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions. Integration is a concern."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved."
"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures."
"This solution's stability is a little problematic."
"There's something known as a data block that Hyperion generates for each and every transaction. Sometimes it does not generate and we need to identify those issues and fix them manually."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
"It's a very expensive product, and I would rate it at nine out of ten, with ten being the most expensive. There are yearly licensing costs."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"The solution is affordable."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
