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."The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"All staff can now see their relevant scorecards online."
"We can build reports super fast."
"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."
"It has definitely saved us time, especially in our budget and planning processes."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"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."
"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."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
"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."
"Scalability isn't a problem for Hyperion."
"Stable and scalable solution with a valuable data integration feature which allows the slicing and dicing of data. It also has a workforce planning feature that allows you to bring in your HR data."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
"It's basically the same as the other budgeting solutions."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."
"The analytics could be improved."
"There's something known as a data block that Hyperion generates for each and every transaction. Sometimes it does not generate and we need to identify those issues and fix them manually."
"I would like to see more integrations with third-party vendors such as BigSense and SAP. I'm looking forward to seeing more interface-related content."
"Sometimes Oracle Hyperion is slow when there are a lot of users using it. However, we can have up to approximately 300 users using it."
"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."
