Automation of financial processes streamlines operations but pricing needs improvement
Our clients mostly use Hyperion for their financial requirements, including budgeting, forecasting, and planning The feature that allows automation of the budgeting and forecasting process is extremely valuable, especially when compared to Excel. The workflow management of planning and the…
Gopinath Bandekar - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable cloud-based solution that allows optimization in addition to process discovery and analysis
When the process models are transferred back to the design environment for further optimization and simulations, we need to see some improvements in the way the models get created in the design. It is very limited because of the transactional data. It seamlessly creates the BPML as well, but it would be easier if the other model, the EPC, were also created simultaneously.

Cons

"It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert."
"All the planning systems out there are great. It doesn't matter which company you use. They're all great. I've seen demonstrations on a number of them, but it all boils down to the culture within the organization itself to use that functionality, understand it, and help drive it. I've had Oracle salespeople do demonstrations, and it looked really good. We get it on board, and everybody still sticks to their Excel spreadsheets because companies are a lot more complex than what you could deliver on the planning system. So, there should be more education on the capabilities, and there should be more understanding of organizations in terms of the way they access the data in order to plan."
"The analytical side of the product could be better and needs to be improved."
"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."
"Hyperion has much room for improvement, especially disaster recovery. You don't have the option to choose the proper disaster recovery method. We have Hyperion and an SQL server on the backend. We have active solutions for the backend database server, which aren't working for our people. They've asked us to remove the high availability to increase application performance."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."
"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures."
"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."
"There should be a single site for modeling and mining."
"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."
"Customizing KPIs and building dashboards were not as intuitive as other similar tools."
"When the process models are transferred back to the design environment for further optimization and simulations, we need to see some improvements in the way the models get created in the design."
"I guess we have many unnecessary steps within our processes. There is room for automation and room for enhancement within our application portfolio management...In short, I would like to eliminate unnecessary steps in some processes in this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"The solution is affordable."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"We pay for a license to use this solution."
"The pricing is based on licenses."
"It's highly-priced, so it's not exactly a cheap product...We are getting what we are paying for, so on a scale of one to ten, or one is low, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"Looking at the value it gives, ARIS Process Mining's pricing is fair."
