"It's basically the same as the other budgeting solutions."
"The roll-up potential of the product is very good, meaning we have detailed information and we want it to be summarized, based on geography, based on different product lines, or based on different charts of accounts in the general ledger. It rolls up the information in a very concise way. This makes it easy to understand the overall performance, for it's forecasting aspects, or quarterly reporting, year to year, or month to month reporting."
"The tool is very scalable and powerful. It helps us with financial reporting and performance reporting. It is a very good tool for consolidation and budgeting. We are dependent on it for reporting."
"This is a customizable product. Our implementation was designed to fit our needs."
"Functionality-wise, it is what they say it is. It is the best in class, but it all ties back to your users. If your users are completely enamored with Excel spreadsheets, then breaking those habits is hard."
"The stability is fine and quite user friendly."
"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."
"Tableau is very good in the front-end visualization compared to Power BI."
"Partner support is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the geographic data analysis."

"While using this solution I have found the valuable features to be ease of use and the visualization. It is a complete solution."
"Better interaction and less time spent with end users."
"Tableau's most valuable features are user-friendliness and have a connection between multiple source systems. You can publish a report by using Tableau Public and there you can make your data online, not only batches of data, you can use it as an online analytical tool."
"The UI part is the best. The end-users can easily get started with Tableau Desktop or Tableau Online because of its user-friendliness."
"The analytical side of the product could be better and needs to be improved."
"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."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved."

"From a technical perspective, the technical support could be improved and the price could be reduced."
"It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."
"Include forecasting on table calculation fields."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
"Firstly, the high cost of Tableau licenses makes it inaccessible for many mid-scale clients. Secondly, the server requires at least 128GB of RAM, which can be impractical for some systems. We need a dedicated system to use Tableau."
"The tool's OpenAI integration was announced last year. However, it is late. Tableau is a good solution for end customers. However, there are some concerns regarding the stability and performance of its server architecture, including SaaS services. The server side appears unstable, and performance issues are noticeable, often accompanied by unclear error messages."
"A strict security measure is needed. I believe it is weak in terms of security."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"Its integration with Microsoft products such as Teams should be improved."
