In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"It is easy to make quick updates. As the business changes, we can maintain the tool without programming help from IT."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"We can build reports super fast."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"We previously used Oracle EDS, and when comparing it to this solution, this solution has a much better interface. There are lots of advantages of the new solutions. Having it on the cloud, we are able to forget about keeping them updated or taking care of the database. We have minimal maintenance."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"It gives you an end-to-end solution from integrating data from the source system to reporting. So it's a highly recommended tool."
"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 product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"The workforce, the cube database, is the most valuable feature where you do planning for your headcounts."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes."
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"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."
"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."
"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 tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"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."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
