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

"For planning and consolidation this is a perfect choice."
"Budgeting and consolidation are the most valuable features in Infor dEPM, and the budgeting process and consolidation features prove very valuable when businesses work with the system."
"The Excel integration is great."
"The robustness of the Infocubes, and the possibility of integrating both strong data analysis characteristics with pleasant aesthetic features."
"This is a perfect, secure, safe and fast product."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"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."
"Once you do the budget in Oracle ERP, you can upload it, but it's easier to create and manage budgets in the Oracle budgeting tool itself. For example, if you have a shortfall in the budget, it's easier to manage that and the forms, too, especially if you also have Oracle Forms Management. You can get the forms from somewhere and then transform those forms into budget heads."
"The customization level is excellent."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"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."
"The solution automates the planning processes and does it in real-time."
"Planning is the most stable and solid tool available in the market."
"The flexible modeling capabilities of the Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud have helped with optimizing resource allocation."
 

Cons

"However, I found it buggy, clunky, and very stiff."
"The Inventory module is not so strong when compared with the other software applications in its category!"
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see improvement in the reporting feature. The usability could be better."
"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 mobile offering and dashboards need work, however this has been improved upon in more recent versions of Infor BI."
"The Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud can be improved in various ways."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
"Cloud services are what I would like to see improved, specifically Planning Cloud and Essbase on Cloud."
"The tool has its flaws but most of time (99%), it is the implementer's fault that you have a bad or slow model."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"There is middleware that we need to purchase for our use case that should be provided in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud. We should not have to purchase the additional solution and the integration should be seamless."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by creating a more visual and user-friendly interface similar to the old ABC analytics."
 

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."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution and it is priced high."
"It is expensive."
"The solution is free."
"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."
