Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."
"We can build reports super fast."
"The workforce, the cube database, is the most valuable feature where you do planning for your headcounts."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"Once you do the budget in Oracle ERP, you can upload it, but it's easier to create and manage budgets in the Oracle budgeting tool itself. For example, if you have a shortfall in the budget, it's easier to manage that and the forms, too, especially if you also have Oracle Forms Management. You can get the forms from somewhere and then transform those forms into budget heads."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"It gives you an end-to-end solution from integrating data from the source system to reporting. So it's a highly recommended tool."
"It would be nice to have more connectors for other data sources. BOARD is a great tool to become the single source of the truth. Making it easier to connect data sources for niche software tools will make it easier to keep everything in one place."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"It needs more export to Excel functionality. Right now, we're having to build within the cloud-based platform, as well as build within the Excel add-in, because the export to Excel is somewhat ugly."
"The product can be improved by making it possible to know where cubes are used."
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"If we could upload other data, e.g., pivot tables which can be done in BOARD already, that we have pre-existing and have that data distribute to more complex spreadsheets, I would like that going forward."
"We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"Some of the things in this product are just too cumbersome and we don't need them and they make it harder to do certain things, or certain things have to have more specific names or descriptions."
"For HR, the workforce planning out of the box is complicated. For most users, it's not easy, and it requires a learning curve. It's not very user-friendly. It can be improved."
"There is middleware that we need to purchase for our use case that should be provided in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud. We should not have to purchase the additional solution and the integration should be seamless."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"There are some issues with block creation in the memory. Sometimes, when we run a calculation and a new intersection is hit during the calculation, the memory block doesn't get created, which doesn't give the correct result."
"The FR recording studio that is used to build reports is clunky and awful to use. This could be improved a lot. The solution does have problems and limitations."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
