"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."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"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."
"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."
"The accuracy of data gathering and consolidation is very good."
"Since it is an enterprise-capable solution, people are not worried about security, giving data, the ability to manage complex consolidation, and its ability to modify reporting."
"The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."
"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."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"The workforce, the cube database, is the most valuable feature where you do planning for your headcounts."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"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 is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"I found the initial setup to be complex."
"Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved."
"The interface could be better. It could be more user-friendly, it is not very intuitive."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."
"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."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"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."
"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 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."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"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."
