"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"Automated reporting."

"We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning."
"The stability is fine and quite user friendly."
"Smart View is a really useful tool because we can have a good API with HFM."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."
"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 have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"I found the initial setup to be complex."
"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."
"We are still having some issues with the ASO Cube. It can take a long time to clear the data in the ASO Cube compared to BSO data-clearing operations. We don't have a specific calculation in the ASO, and we only have these aggregate options on the ASO side. If we need calculations, we have to calculate them in the BSO and pass the data to the ASO Cube for the reporting. That's one of the drawbacks. Oracle could also improve on the data logging side as well."
"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."
"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."
"The forecasting of values could be simplified in this solution."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
