Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The scalability is good."
"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."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."
"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."
"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 like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"The geospatial maps representation and the visualizations are nice."
"The ease of presenting findings is very helpful."
"It's the ease of use. It is also a self-service tool so it decreases the burden on having centralized IT-type teams or developers."
"Tableau's visualization features let you present information insights quickly and practically. So it's something which I prefer with Tableau. In terms of reporting, I have to point out the sheer quality and function of the Tableau server, but the first impression is that it's a great visualization tool."
"I work for clients. That is my business model. Business people really like to see Tableau. They love Tableau because it is very user-friendly. The platform provides an easy to use interface, which is what most people like about it."
"The most valuable feature is the drag and drop, then the simplicity to build dashboards which allows us to provide more usable data to our customers."
"Tableau has improved my organization in a variety of ways, one of its uses being that of data analysis. A feature I have found most valuable is the ease of use and straightforwardness, in addition to the flexibility of Tableau."
"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."
"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."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."
"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
"The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
"I would like the solution to have certain features allowing the delivery of reports to the email."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"The solution could use more features in data analytics."
"Its documentation can be improved so that a user can get a good hands-on experience. Tableau is well documented, and on their website, there are a lot of tutorials that are available for free. I started my learning process through those tutorials, but there are certain loopholes in those tutorials, which only got filled through a couple of good YouTube channels that talk about Tableau. YouTube helped me a lot. So, the documentation could be better, I understand that it is evolving day by day, and with more usage, there would be more such documentation."
"Requires a lot of user training."
