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

"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"The Excel integration is great."
"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"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."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"It has reduced the amount of paperwork as multiple people can work on a single form, centralize formula creation window (only one person/team is responsible for creating it), It is also possible to maintain history for X number of years, and compare budgets from previous years through just one form and the process of workflow management."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"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."
"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."
"The ROI is high, and I think they provide a lot of value."
"We can do budgeting on time and provide an accurate forecast."
"One of the best features that we use in Oracle Hyperion is the data integration, as you can slice and dice data and innovate, which is something you can't do in other ERP systems, and this solution offers so many possibilities."
 

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."
"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."
"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"The bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"The usability could be better."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"Sometimes Oracle Hyperion is slow when there are a lot of users using it. However, we can have up to approximately 300 users using it."
"Oracle should have provided better documentation, and should update it more often."
"There should be more effort put into integration processes."
"I have not seen return on investment from using Oracle Hyperion."
"In my opinion, the reporting features could be visually better, and prettier, than it is so far."
"The solution is about to cease to exist, so it doesn't really matter if they add anything to it. It's at end-of-life."
"It's not scalable. It's not scalable. We are moving away from it, with the ERP cloud migration, we will retire this product."
"All the planning systems out there are great. It doesn't matter which company you use. They're all great. I've seen demonstrations on a number of them, but it all boils down to the culture within the organization itself to use that functionality, understand it, and help drive it. I've had Oracle salespeople do demonstrations, and it looked really good. We get it on board, and everybody still sticks to their Excel spreadsheets because companies are a lot more complex than what you could deliver on the planning system. So, there should be more education on the capabilities, and there should be more understanding of organizations in terms of the way they access the data in order to plan."
 

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."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
