Empower financial planning with user-friendly and robust features
The best features of Oracle Hyperion revolve around their cloud-based technology, which is gradually moving to cloud solutions such as EPMCSG, while Anaplan uses two engines for calculations, the classic engine and the Essbase engine. Anaplan allows for quick module changes, where adjustments in one module reflect throughout the user experience. In contrast, Oracle Hyperion relies on Essbase as a database with calculation scripts and business rules, and it incorporates Smart View technology for Excel connections, providing a familiar interface for users. Oracle Hyperion is fundamentally a good technology and does not require significant improvements compared to other technologies because it is user-friendly and offers several advantages in financial reporting and consolidation. However, I have observed that Anaplan has built-in UX pages for report preparation, unlike Oracle Hyperion, which often relies on third-party tools such as Hyperion Financial Reporting and Power BI for reporting.

You can use the process mapping module to build processes that can be converted into SOPs. Licensing is unreasonable.
The process-mapping module helped the BPR team in creating detailed process maps quickly. The process converter tool helped the team establish baseline SOPs that can be taken further to implement comprehensive documentation that serves the departments’ needs. The content management part helped in sharing the processes safely with the rest of the organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."
"Reduced budgeting process from six to eight months, to three months."
"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."
"One can see that it's a mature product because it addresses all the requirements that you must need for financial consolidation and for budgeting and planning. It's really easy to use."
"The scalability is good."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
"Oracle has an integrated solution for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Hyperion. It keeps the two platforms opened up to each other."
"The platform is very easy to use from a user perspective, especially for nontechnical experts."
"The product has so many features, but it has some unique ones that most of the similar products do not have."
"The process mapping module is highly user friendly and allows users to quickly build processes with thorough details that can be converted into comprehensive end-to-end SOPs."
"The new QPR Suite 2014 including QPR EnterpriseArchitect, QPR ProcessDesigner, QPR Metrics and QPR ProcessAnalyzer delivers the right capabilities for business management and enterprise architects to support operational development and business transformation cases."
 

Cons

"The solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
"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."
"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures."
"We still have issues and bugs because it's a new release."
"In my opinion, the reporting features could be visually better, and prettier, than it is so far."
"Our experience with the support team was not great."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."
"The QPR content management module is highly complex and difficult to use."
"There should be an easier way of reporting, or producing, reports in MS Office."
"Mobile features need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"The solution is affordable."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"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."
