Good report management, highly stable, and customizable

I give the solution an eight out of ten. I recommend the Infor dEPM system to others as it is a robust solution that runs smoothly for our clients. Three individuals within our organization are in charge of managing the solution. Nevertheless, we have numerous clients who utilize the solution in their respective organizations.

Good tool for data visualization but interface is not very intuitive

I am the one that builds the reports. So, it's the baseline for making any predictions for budgets and something like that. We are an international organization, so it helps us to have consolidated reports and a clearer overview. It certainly supports streamlining across our global operations. The integration of Hyperion into our existing system improved operational efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."

"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."

"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."

"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."

"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."

"The implementation has been simplified now that it's deployed in the cloud. Also, Hyperion is tightly integrated with Oracle products because Oracle owns it now."

"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 most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."

"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."

"Oracle Hyperion is an advanced analytical calculation engine that can handle aggregation."

"The tool is very scalable and powerful. It helps us with financial reporting and performance reporting. It is a very good tool for consolidation and budgeting. We are dependent on it for reporting."

Cons

"The usability could be better."

"It's a very expensive solution."

"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."

"The latest version has been cloud-enabled, but it requires a deeper understanding of programming skills compared to the previous versions, which were more user-friendly."

"The solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."

"The interface could be better. It could be more user-friendly, it is not very intuitive."

"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."

"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."

"There can be an improvement in many regards with the dimensions, the metadata, the interfaces, as well as the integration."

"Their documentation could be a little bit more descriptive at places. They don't really do a lot of How-Tos because that gets pushed through to the consulting groups. There have been some books. There is a real good one out there about how to look smarter than you are with Hyperion Planning that some people at a company called ArganoInterRel wrote. Those things do exist, but that's not in their documentation. It's basically like they'll say, "This is the field. This is what it's used for," but they don't tell you how to particularly use it in your case environment."

"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures."

"The forecasting of values could be simplified in this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."

"The pricing is competitive."

"It's a very expensive product, and I would rate it at nine out of ten, with ten being the most expensive. There are yearly licensing costs."

"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."

"The solution is affordable."

"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."

"We pay for licensing yearly."

"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."

"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."

"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."

"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
