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

"It was useful for consolidating data from subsidiaries and having global reports."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"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."
"Integration with other software applications is so user friendly and also it's a single ledger designed system."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"The Excel integration is great."
"Hyperion has made our budgeting process and forecast analysis easy and robust, and it is a reliable tool."
"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."
"It's a very good program and it's useful for consolidation."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
"The product itself, right now, especially on the Hyperion planning side, is the industry leading software for what it does."
"I rate the overall solution nine out of ten."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"It is a multi user web based system, which is easier for us to deploy since we have a global presence."
 

Cons

"A web-based version would provide greater usability and I believe is still in the development pipeline."
"The Inventory module is not so strong when compared with the other software applications in its category!"
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"From my perspective, I think Infor dEPM is a good solution for clients who want to deep dive into data analysis in finance, but it may be complicated."
"Flexibility to modify an existing Infocube, and better integration with other ETL tools on the market."
"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 bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
"I have a problem with Hyperion when I need to log some changes in the budget. It's hard to know who made which changes in the budget."
"The interface could be better. It could be more user-friendly, it is not very intuitive."
"Oracle Hyperion is not too user-friendly."
"This solution's stability is a little problematic."
"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."
"The analytics could be improved."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
"As an intuitive, user friendly, GUI application, I would rate it a 4/10."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"The solution is affordable."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
