"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"The scalability is good."
"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."
"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 most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."
"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."
"We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
"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 product's configuration process could be faster."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."
"Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved."
"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 forecasting of values could be simplified in this solution."
"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."
"The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult."
"They could support machine learning algorithms for the product."
"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."
