Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"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 planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
"Stable and scalable solution with a valuable data integration feature which allows the slicing and dicing of data. It also has a workforce planning feature that allows you to bring in your HR data."
"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."
"Functionality-wise, it is what they say it is. It is the best in class, but it all ties back to your users. If your users are completely enamored with Excel spreadsheets, then breaking those habits is hard."
"The feature that allows automation of the budgeting and forecasting process is extremely valuable, especially when compared to Excel."
"We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
"I rate the overall solution nine out of ten."
 

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."
"The usability could be better."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"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."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."
"The interface could be better. It could be more user-friendly, it is not very intuitive."
"The analytics could be improved."
"I found the initial setup to be complex."
"Hyperion has much room for improvement, especially disaster recovery. You don't have the option to choose the proper disaster recovery method. We have Hyperion and an SQL server on the backend. We have active solutions for the backend database server, which aren't working for our people. They've asked us to remove the high availability to increase application performance."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"The level of complexity of the implementation is always a challenge."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"The solution is affordable."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
