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…

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

"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"The robustness of the Infocubes, and the possibility of integrating both strong data analysis characteristics with pleasant aesthetic features."
"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"It has given us the ability to not only deliver key reports and metrics, but also to make them available on a self service basis."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"If you are using only spreadsheets and have to download your data from various sources then you will have to reconcile these to build reports that make sense, this product will improve your life."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"The ROI is high, and I think they provide a lot of value."
"The product itself, right now, especially on the Hyperion planning side, is the industry leading software for what it does."
"The tool does all our budgeting and forecasting without much manual work, so it's now all automated, saving us both time and from many human errors."
"It's basically the same as the other budgeting solutions."
"We are satisfied with this solution and I would recommend Oracle to others."
"The fact that Hyperion is a consistent system without any big issues is huge for our users to make decisions based on financial results."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"What you really get is data governance and control."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"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."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"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."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"The bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"Oracle support is not quite responsive."
"The biggest issue we have had for end users was that we lost control of functionality."
"Most of the time it takes three months and you don’t get results."
"I don't think that this product needs any improvement for now."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."
"Oracle should have provided better documentation, and should update it more often."
"There should be more effort put into integration processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"The solution is affordable."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"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."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
