Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"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."
"Its major impact is that it reduced manual work since using Oracle Hyperion, and Oracle Hyperion data can now be updated, with data loads completed in 30 minutes."
"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."
"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."
"The roll-up potential of the product is very good, meaning we have detailed information and we want it to be summarized, based on geography, based on different product lines, or based on different charts of accounts in the general ledger. It rolls up the information in a very concise way. This makes it easy to understand the overall performance, for it's forecasting aspects, or quarterly reporting, year to year, or month to month reporting."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."
"The implementation has been simplified now that it's deployed in the cloud. Also, Hyperion is tightly integrated with Oracle products because Oracle owns it now."
"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."
 

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 initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"The usability could be better."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"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."
"There's something known as a data block that Hyperion generates for each and every transaction. Sometimes it does not generate and we need to identify those issues and fix them manually."
"The forecasting of values could be simplified in this solution."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs 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."
"The analytical side of the product could be better and needs to be improved."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
"The level of complexity of the implementation is always a challenge."
"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."
 

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."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"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."
