We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements.""It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday.""The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes.""Automated reporting.""It's very stable.""We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard.""The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."

"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.""We like the reporting and tracking of financials.""We can integrate with any system and pull data from SAP or SQL Server. We can also design our own role files to establish how we pull the file data and store it in our database.""We can collect data from various sources, which is very useful for budgeting and planning.""It's a very good program and it's useful for consolidation.""It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete.""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.""Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."

Cons
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident.""The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful.""It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that.""Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions.""Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image.""The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up.""The product's configuration process could be faster.""Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."

More Adaptive Insights Cons →

"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model.""We are still having some issues with the ASO Cube. It can take a long time to clear the data in the ASO Cube compared to BSO data-clearing operations. We don't have a specific calculation in the ASO, and we only have these aggregate options on the ASO side. If we need calculations, we have to calculate them in the BSO and pass the data to the ASO Cube for the reporting. That's one of the drawbacks. Oracle could also improve on the data logging side as well.""The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible.""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.""The analytical side of the product could be better and needs to be improved.""The interface could be better. It could be more user-friendly, it is not very intuitive.""The solution is about to cease to exist, so it doesn't really matter if they add anything to it. It's at end-of-life.""From a technical perspective, the technical support could be improved and the price could be reduced."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Everything is negotiable, but this solution is low cost compared to others."
  • "Licensing seems to be worth the cost considering the efficiency Adaptive brings."
  • "Prior to purchasing licenses, make sure you understand which users will only need planning and which users will need both planning and OfficeConnect."
  • "Ensure that you have the proper pricing plan in place."
  • "Adaptive Insights' pricing is reasonable."
  • "Pricing is in line with other cloud-based EPM tools. It is a subscription-based model based upon the number of users and site type if it's an admin or end-user type thing."
  • "Adaptive Insights' pricing is relative to its peer competitors. It's certainly competitive compared to a spreadsheet template that you build in Excel. It can be expensive if you need to have 100-500 budget holders giving input and building financial plans. However, in that case, it becomes an extremely good bargain. Compared to its competitors, it offers an excellent value."
  • "It's affordable."
  • More Adaptive Insights Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
  • "Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
  • "To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
  • "We pay for licensing yearly."
  • "Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
  • "The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
  • "The solution is affordable."
  • "Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
