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

Pros

"I do not need to have my own tools; I only need to customize many elements."
"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."
"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."
"You can get the data directly from the database with Excel formulas."
"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."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"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."
"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 tool's most valuable feature of the solution is flexibility and integration capabilities."
"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."
"It's basically the same as the other budgeting solutions."
"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. 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 initial setup from a user perspective can be cumbersome and has room for improvement."
"The usability could be better."
"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."
"There can be an improvement in many regards with the dimensions, the metadata, the interfaces, as well as the integration."
"From a technical perspective, the technical support could be improved and the price could be reduced."
"The forecasting of values could be simplified in this solution."
"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."
"The solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
"The pricing model could be more flexible as it's more expensive than its competitors."
"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."
"We are still having some issues with the ASO Cube. It can take a long time to clear the data in the ASO Cube compared to BSO data-clearing operations. We don't have a specific calculation in the ASO, and we only have these aggregate options on the ASO side. If we need calculations, we have to calculate them in the BSO and pass the data to the ASO Cube for the reporting. That's one of the drawbacks. Oracle could also improve on the data logging side as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"The solution is affordable."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
