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

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

Pros

"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"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."
"The accuracy of data gathering and consolidation is very good."
"We can do budgeting on time and provide an accurate forecast."
"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."
"Hyperion is a stable product."
"I rate the overall solution nine out of ten."
"So far, the stability has been fine."
"Hyperion has made our budgeting process and forecast analysis easy and robust, and it is a reliable tool."
"We're able to support fifteen to twenty countries globally from Cincinnati, and they can do all their consolidation on our one HFM application."
 

Cons

"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."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"The usability could be better."
"The Inventory module is not so strong when compared with the other software applications in its category!"
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"Improvements might relate to the integration of the visual aspect of the product. There is a scope for improvement in the governance of the product."
"Our experience with the support team was not great."
"Oracle support is not quite responsive."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement, but from what I know, they're offering a new reporting package."
"As an intuitive, user friendly, GUI application, I would rate it a 4/10."
"We are still having some issues with the ASO Cube. It can take a long time to clear the data in the ASO Cube compared to BSO data-clearing operations. We don't have a specific calculation in the ASO, and we only have these aggregate options on the ASO side. If we need calculations, we have to calculate them in the BSO and pass the data to the ASO Cube for the reporting. That's one of the drawbacks. Oracle could also improve on the data logging side as well."
"In my opinion, the reporting features could be visually better, and prettier, than it is so far."
"Pricing is a significant concern. After moving to PBCS and EPBCS, the per-user license fees can be reduced, particularly for bulk users."
 

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."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
"The pricing is competitive."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"The solution is affordable."
