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…

Flexible modeling capabilities have optimized resource allocation and collaboration tools aid communication
Some of the best features with the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud perform better than OneStream. The flexible modeling capabilities of the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud have helped with optimizing resource allocation. The built-in collaboration tools with the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud have aided communication among me and my clients as well as the clients and stakeholders. The advanced analytics within the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud helps with the performance insights on some of these clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Excel integration is great."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"It has given us the ability to not only deliver key reports and metrics, but also to make them available on a self service basis."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"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."
"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"The improvement for the organization is the same as it is with Hyperion Planning plus the license is a lot more affordable and it has no need for in-house equipment."
"We're were amazed at the ease Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud was to implement and how good the design was."
"The flexible modeling capabilities of the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud have helped with optimizing resource allocation."
"The tool improves the organizational budgeting process in several ways. One significant aspect is the extensionable functionality it offers. To illustrate, consider a scenario where a company has factories in Mexico producing Volkswagen and Kentucky producing Ford."
"We find it valuable that all the features are combined into one system."
"The solution automates the planning processes and does it in real-time."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud helped save significant time in creating reports for stakeholders and shareholders."
 

Cons

"Only sometimes, there are server start-up issues."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The usability could be better."
"The bigger the database with accelerators the more unstable it is, but without accelerators the model would not run."
"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."
"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"The mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"Oracle initially forced HFM users to migrate to FCCS, which was difficult because moving applications wasn't easy."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"Oracle made a mistake by forcing HFM users to transition to FCCS before the solution was mature enough."
"There were significant issues that led to discontinuing use of the product."
"The FR recording studio that is used to build reports is clunky and awful to use. This could be improved a lot. The solution does have problems and limitations."
"Some of the things in this product are just too cumbersome and we don't need them and they make it harder to do certain things, or certain things have to have more specific names or descriptions."
"OCI can predict changes in your infrastructure in advance so that customers aren't caught off guard. It would be nice if OCI could predict these changes and notify Administrators without the Administrators asking OCI to do it."
"I don’t like this version, but it might get better."
 

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 solution is free."
"It is expensive."
"The price of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is expensive. However, it solves a lot of issues at the company. Having a better price could make us think about using more cloud products for Oracle and increase usage."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution and it is priced high."
