We performed a comparison between Board and Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view."
"We can build reports super fast."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"Our data is now more structured. Between our data warehouse and BOARD, which are both brand new, we now have a more structured data view with more accurate, timely data."
"Where it used to take me three days at the beginning of the year to create the new financial statement, now it is a matter of minutes because all the data is in the system."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"It gives you an end-to-end solution from integrating data from the source system to reporting. So it's a highly recommended tool."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"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 workforce, the cube database, is the most valuable feature where you do planning for your headcounts."
"We previously used Oracle EDS, and when comparing it to this solution, this solution has a much better interface. There are lots of advantages of the new solutions. Having it on the cloud, we are able to forget about keeping them updated or taking care of the database. We have minimal maintenance."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"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."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"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 having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"For HR, the workforce planning out of the box is complicated. For most users, it's not easy, and it requires a learning curve. It's not very user-friendly. It can be improved."
