Find out what your peers are saying about Anaplan, Oracle, Jedox and others in Business Performance Management."The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."
"It's a very good program and it's useful for consolidation."
"We like the reporting and tracking of financials."
"The accuracy of data gathering and consolidation is very good."
"Scalability isn't a problem for Hyperion."
"This product is very scalable and provides high ROI."
"One can see that it's a mature product because it addresses all the requirements that you must need for financial consolidation and for budgeting and planning. It's really easy to use."
"The implementation has been simplified now that it's deployed in the cloud. Also, Hyperion is tightly integrated with Oracle products because Oracle owns it now."
"It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation. We don't have to do reporting in Excel anymore, which has cut down on the errors and the efficiency of our close time."
"The analytics could be improved."
"What I like is to have everything on one platform and not in different modules like Oracle Hyperion."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
"Sometimes Oracle Hyperion is slow when there are a lot of users using it. However, we can have up to approximately 300 users using it."
"I found the initial setup to be complex."
"Their documentation could be a little bit more descriptive at places. They don't really do a lot of How-Tos because that gets pushed through to the consulting groups. There have been some books. There is a real good one out there about how to look smarter than you are with Hyperion Planning that some people at a company called ArganoInterRel wrote. Those things do exist, but that's not in their documentation. It's basically like they'll say, "This is the field. This is what it's used for," but they don't tell you how to particularly use it in your case environment."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved."
"The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools."
