We performed a comparison between Board and Oracle Hyperion based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."
"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."
"I liked the way that I felt as a user and administrator of it. There were a lot of clicks, drops, drags, etc. versus writing code."
"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."
"The aesthetics of it are really nice. That is what attracted us to BOARD: the ease and functionality of it."
"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."
"Our data is now more structured. Between our data warehouse and BOARD, which are both brand new, we now have a more structured data view with more accurate, timely data."
"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 have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"The latest cloud version is more efficient for financial implementations."
"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."
"We can integrate with any system and pull data from SAP or SQL Server. We can also design our own role files to establish how we pull the file data and store it in our database."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."
"This is a customizable product. Our implementation was designed to fit our needs."
"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."
"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."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"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 a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"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 analytics could be improved."
"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."
"This solution's stability is a little problematic."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"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 user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."
