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."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."
"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."
"The support from the BOARD team and their consultants is great. Whenever I use technical support, they are good."
"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."
"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"We can build reports super fast."
"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."
"The tool improves the organizational budgeting process in several ways. One significant aspect is the extensionable functionality it offers. To illustrate, consider a scenario where a company has factories in Mexico producing Volkswagen and Kentucky producing Ford."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are the many capabilities it provides."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"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 workforce, the cube database, is the most valuable feature where you do planning for your headcounts."
"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."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."
"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."
"I would like an eLearning platform for BOARD."
"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."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."
"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."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"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."
"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."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
"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."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
