Oracle Demantra Reviews & Product Details

The ability to pivot the series rather fluidly. It's almost like a field list selection box for an Excel pivot table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using 7.3.1.5. It has a hard time pulling large data sets. Sometimes I want the ability to compile a tabular kind of table structure so I can export the values and manipulate it somewhere else. Not that I wouldn't love to use Oracle's BI, but business security limitations sometimes make it hard. If the records exceed a couple thousand lines with about 10 fields, it really has a hard time and often crashes. Also, in the chart functionality, I would have expected some more color, shape, chart customization options. After all it's supposed to be your tool to sort through demand effectively.

Technology, Ease of use, export-import features from migration standpoint having a single schema Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration aspects should be made more robust. Especially porting 3Y forecast to other legacy demand management solution, integration with Oracle ASCP we faced serious challenges on specific business scenarios recently in Poclain account, Verberrie, France.

Demand management and capacity planning has been my core expertise. Having multiple implementation experience, Demand forecasting and S&OP have been key implementation themes. Currently I am engaged in implementation Demand Management and Supply Planning Cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Key piece as I see is the inflexibility to provision subset of forecast sheet for updates to specific users. As there are business cases on reverse planning, which for certain industries such as waste management, Demantra fails to apply statistical forecast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that all processes are all done within Demantra, from forecasting to deductions. I like the product groupings rather than individual items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There seems to be a lot of monotonous steps to complete a deal. I think some of the steps could be removed to speed up the entry process. I would like the hierarchy to be more clear as well. I think there also could be fewer limitations as far as adding and removing categories. This could also be limited by the manufacturer that administers the system.

Oracle Demantra is one of the best planning tools in the market right now. It is better than the competitive tools that other organizations provide. One can easily integrate Demantra with third-party systems and it is currently in very high demand. One of the best tools used in the gaming industry which can predict the forecast accurately.

There is nothing much to dislike about. One small but insignificant thing is there is a dearth of materials available for Oracle Demantra and one needs to learn a lot of things in the initial stage without much reference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle Demantra is a great tool/place to hold a lot of records/multi-linked tables etc. We mostly used it in our project for holding details of the inventory, sales, rebates etc. and with the ease of customization it was usable throughout the organization for testing, in any environment.

I was working mainly as an automation engineer with UFT and I realized that many of the tasks we had to do were repetitive and should have been automated, but the system was a bit slow and incompatible with automation as a lot of time the properties of the system were inconsistent, sometimes it was very difficult to create Object Repositories because there was nothing unique, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, not hard to learn. Like having different worksheets for each of my account vs having to change a worksheet every time. Adding item or making associations between a customer low and organization is pretty simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At least for my company the engine is not working, some forecast can get pretty weird. Like an item that has around 100 units a month might get some weird forecast of 500+/month. Can be slow when you have too much stuff. Currently my company cant plan by exceptions since we do not have that option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Demantra is an effective demand management tool with advanced forecasting capabilities. It is an easy-to-use tool, more in the form of a spreadsheet, where data can be easily downloaded and uploaded. It also has built-in capabilities to integrate with other Oracle modules like advanced supply chain planning and order management. Additionally, it is used with SAP installations as well.

Nothing specific from a consultant's point of view. However, you need a trained consultant to tune the forecasting engine, which is somewhat complex. It will also be an ongoing process to achieve better forecast accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upsides are as follows:

1. Demantra gives you the capability to choose from a plethora of forecasting models which are best in class. This feature enables companies to find the best-fit model as per their data set. This in turn helps in high accuracy once the forecasting engine has been fine-tuned.

2. It lets you build a Consensus forecast by taking the inputs from various other stakeholders like Marketing, Finance etc. This helps in locking forecast with all parties on board.

3. Demantra enables you to do a manual override on the Forecast. Human intervention is required in high-value products which do not have a very good historical data pattern. For such products, Demantra may not give the best possible forecast and Demand Planners need to manually override the generated forecast.

4. Demantra can be used to develop multi-echelon Forecasts. Forecasting needs to be done for different products at different levels.

5. Lets you connect to multiple data sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downsides of Demantra are:

1. Demantra does not have a smart engine which can adjust the forecasting model which needs to be selected as per the data provided. Once the engine is configured with a given set of data, if the data trend or characteristics change, then the engine needs to be re-tuned.

2. It's a very technical tool, hence Demand Planners need to know the technicalities along with Functional knowledge to extract best value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Demantra is a tool that helps to align production with customer demand and ensure increased customer service levels. It allows modeling new products based on the lifecycle of existing products.
