Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All our customers have experienced a return on investment, as they have been included on the list of calls."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"The platform is very easy to use from a user perspective, especially for nontechnical experts."
"Since it is an enterprise-capable solution, people are not worried about security, giving data, the ability to manage complex consolidation, and its ability to modify reporting."
"The feature that allows automation of the budgeting and forecasting process is extremely valuable, especially when compared to Excel."
"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."
"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."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"The tool's most valuable feature of the solution is flexibility and integration capabilities."
 

Cons

"The initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"The usability could be better."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions. Integration is a concern."
"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."
"I have a problem with Hyperion when I need to log some changes in the budget. It's hard to know who made which changes in the budget."
"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."
"The forecasting of values could be simplified in this solution."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."
"The analytics could be improved."
"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."
"The level of complexity of the implementation is always a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is competitive."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"The solution is affordable."
