Featured Reviews

Ansa Leonard - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Mahdi Mohaddes - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

Pros

"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The accuracy of data gathering and consolidation is very good."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution provides a more structured methodology for doing analysis than a tool like Excel. It creates a central database that keeps all information in one place."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"The stability is fine and quite user friendly."
"It is easy to use. It is very intuitive. Even though there is a lot of functionality that comes out of the box, you can customize the solutions to meet your needs. You have the ability to have business rules that produce all kinds of calculations. We're international, and we do all our FX conversions through that."
 

Cons

"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 usability could be better."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The analytical side of the product could be better and needs to be improved."
"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."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"The solution is about to cease to exist, so it doesn't really matter if they add anything to it. It's at end-of-life."
"Integrating Oracle Hyperion, a multidimensional database, with relational databases poses challenges due to the differing database structures."
"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"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."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
