Cons
"If there could be data integration between HFM and the accounting software that would be ideal.""The intercompany reporting function in this tool needs improvement, particularly being able to run reports in batches, rather than one at a time.""Integration is an area where it lacks and can be improved.""The complexity is okay. I don't see it as super complex. The solution could have more functionality to make it a little bit more flexible.""In terms of improvement, one challenge with Oracle HFM is the need for technical knowledge in writing SQL syntax for custom extensions.""It's a difficult process to try to edit, configure, or change the business rules that exist and work within HFM.""The solution has integration challenges. We need a simple tool that is fool-proof for the data that is submitted not only for consolidation purposes but also for performance management and reporting purposes."

More Oracle HFM Cons →

"Regarding the solution, reporting has certain areas that can be considered for improvement.""The most critical issue is the need to shift between uppercase and lowercase.""The speed must be improved.""At this point, I don't see a compelling reason to invest in Workiva. It may be necessary for compliance and controlling the version of SCC, but not everyone needs its high-end capabilities.""With this product, it's more about the integrated data model where you can have a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship between your policies and processes, risks, and controls. They need to showcase how you can put those pieces together.""One area where Workiva Wdesk could improve is by ensuring that its cloud-based system is fully compatible with the most current versions of PowerPoint and Excel."
