Oracle Hyperion Planning Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

I like that I can create custom queries that are easy to use for the end users with limited access to modify the logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like its look. It looks very outdated and thus might not be instinctual to navigate.

Hyperion has been bugging a lot recently in my org. The web plug in version keeps spitting out errors when: 1.) trying to log in, 2.) Open queries, 3.) navigate throughout the application.

I do not like the fact that it requires you to run the query before being able to extract the SQL.

When looking for a specific table, the app requires you to search for all the tables first, which takes a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used Hyperion to consolidate monthly financial data from several locations. A big advantage for me at our plant location was we could import our financial data from an Excel file. Once we did a data dump into Excel, we could then feed it to Hyperion with a click of a button within the Excel file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although we could easily update our data, we still had to double check Hyperion to ensure the results fed in at the amount we had on our spreadsheet. I will say we very rarely had any issues with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been working with Hyperion Planning for over a year now, and it's great, a wonderful tool to manage your budget and forecast data, review it, share it, model it, I mean you can do a lot here and it is an Oracle product and the possibilities are enormous, You can have access to one of the greatest database engines, AKA Oracle Essbase, you can connect your forecast applications with SmartView for Microsoft and you can model your data in any of the Microsoft suite products (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Access, you name it). It's a wonderful Saas product, I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is too little that you cannot like of oracle products. I have a year using it now and I haven't had any complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GReat planning capabilities, very potent engine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Usability is an issue, high learning curve to use and become an expert. Oracle is really difficult to work with; it seems they expect you to beg to use their products. From contracting, to support to tranining, they are very self centered and no flexible and slow. for this reasons, i would recommend to avoid if possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use planning across a number of disparate business units with very different planning needs and at some reasonably complex business rules to automate calculations throughout the planning process. We appreciate the security features that allow us to lock down the plans by BU and consolidate at corporate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

System stability is a challenge at times, and response slowness can be exacerbated as you increase required dimensions. During implementation you are asked to evaluate the need for additional dimensions against the speed with which you get your planning done. Poorly set up rules can lead to lots of frustration for end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there is a disconnect between Hyperion and Excel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like this program because it is practical and mainly to help in the financial control of the company. I use it daily and I have nothing to complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Until the moment of use, I did not find any negative points. I recommend everyone to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planning has come a long way from when it started. We find WFP very useful. We also like connecting to the essbase cubes via Smartview Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a big fan of Planning forms. If the forms are big, we find it takes a lot of time to load and save Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
