"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning."
"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."

Cons

"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"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."
"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 solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
"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."
"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."
"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."
"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."
"The analytics could be improved."
"The most important aspect for improvement is the time efficiency when handling large databases."
 

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."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"The solution is affordable."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
