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."This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"Anaplan's in-memory calculation engine is super-fast compared to the old tools we previously used. You enter the data and everything shows up in one go."
"The most valuable feature of Anaplan is machine learning. The solution is constantly evolving from feedback. Additionally, there is a wide range of training material online."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"The solution scales well."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"The accuracy of data gathering and consolidation is very good."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
"We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning."
"This is a customizable product. Our implementation was designed to fit our needs."
"Oracle Hyperion is fairly user-friendly and not too complicated. The forecasting, it's really good. It's sometimes slow when there are a lot of users using it and we can have up to approximately 300 users using it. However, you can do it in Excel because there's an Excel add-in. This is a benefit because a lot of people do this way instead of having to go into the planning application itself."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"Hyperion is helpful for all our budget processes."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity. That can act against you as a negative because it does require a model builder or a coder/developer."
"There are so many business rules to set up in the system that as a business user it's hard to gauge what they're doing and it's possible to get lost."
"The interface could be better. It could be more user-friendly, it is not very intuitive."
"I would like to see more integrations with third-party vendors such as BigSense and SAP. I'm looking forward to seeing more interface-related content."
"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."
"I would love more comment capabilities so that you could put in little notes, cheat notes."
"I have a problem with Hyperion when I need to log some changes in the budget. It's hard to know who made which changes in the budget."
"Configuration is a little complex, it's not very easy. The solution is integrated with Essbase and there are not many users of the Essbase database. If they can provide different modules for each subject area, like supply chain, for inventory forecasting or for order management forecasting, it would make each subject area easier to manage."
"There can be an improvement in many regards with the dimensions, the metadata, the interfaces, as well as the integration."
"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."
