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."The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."
"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."
"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"The one thing that I think we would like to see in terms of improvement of the application is the ability to print. It's fantastic to have all of these graphic visualization of data, but we're not able to very easily just print... From my perspective, if you can have a little "print" button and then you just click it and it would produce what's on the screen, that would be very helpful."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."
"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"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 tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"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."
"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."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"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."
