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

"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."
"The ease of use and the integration with our business are the most valuable features."
"We can integrate with any system and pull data from SAP or SQL Server. We can also design our own role files to establish how we pull the file data and store it in our database."
"The accuracy of data gathering and consolidation is very good."
"Smart View is a really useful tool because we can have a good API with HFM."
"Hyperion tools are very useful in finance, with data relationship management that is good for storing hierarchical information and can be used for data enhancement and modeling, offering many features that assist other parts of the organization as well."
"The platform is very easy to use from a user perspective, especially for nontechnical experts."
"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, different product lines, or different charts of accounts in the general ledger, and it rolls up the information in a very concise way, making it easy to understand the overall performance for its forecasting aspects, either quarterly reporting, year-to-year, or month-to-month reporting."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The reporting could be improved. It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert, and you may have to use an add-on to simplify it."
"Improvements are needed in the tool's performance."
"Configuration is a little complex, it's not very easy. The solution is integrated with Essbase and there are not many users of the Essbase database. If they can provide different modules for each subject area, like supply chain, for inventory forecasting or for order management forecasting, it would make each subject area easier to manage."
"In my opinion, the reporting features could be visually better, and prettier, than it is so far."
"If I wanted to add another hundred users tomorrow, it wouldn’t do that."
"Oracle should have provided better documentation, and should update it more often."
"The analytics could be improved."
"The database crashes without any warnings or reasons."
"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

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