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

Pros

"Infor dEPM's got the best end-user reporting solution that keeps us motivated and moving forward with this solution only."
"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"The planning capability is the most valuable feature."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"Our customers have the solution deployed on the cloud or on-premises. The deployment took about a month."
"The latest cloud version is more efficient for financial implementations."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"Oracle Hyperion is fairly user-friendly and not too complicated. The forecasting, it's really good. It's sometimes slow when there are a lot of users using it and we can have up to approximately 300 users using it. However, you can do it in Excel because there's an Excel add-in. This is a benefit because a lot of people do this way instead of having to go into the planning application itself."
"The scalability is good."
"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."
"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."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
 

Cons

"There are questions about how Infor DEPM can be used with other solutions and the difficulties in connecting it with other software solutions."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The usability could be better."
"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. 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."
"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."
"The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."
"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."
"The level of complexity of the implementation is always a challenge."
"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 solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
"From a technical perspective, the technical support could be improved and the price could be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"While the licensing cost of Infor dEPM may be costly, it is still more affordable than SAP BusinessObjects EPM, for example."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"The solution is affordable."
"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."
