Financial Analyst Marketing and Advertising Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/20/2016 "Very Useful While Often Under-Utilized" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Oracle Hyperion Planning? The most useful aspect of Hyperion is the ability to retrieve data from the system within offline excel files as long as you have the Smart View add-in enabled. The refresh is quick and the data is always clear to reconcile back to the total values input into the system. Our company uses the application to house our revenue and expense detail by client, by account, and by period. It is very easy for us to manipulate reports and excel files to retrieve data from Hyperion to suit our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oracle Hyperion Planning? The main problem that I have had while using Hyperion is the difficulty of input into the system. While retrieving data from Hyperion is quick and simple, the actual upload into various schedules and memo templates can pose difficulties. For example, each month my company needs to upload re-phased projected revenue for each month. If client A had $100 in revenue booked previously, but now we realized that this will now need to be $0 - the system will not allow it. For some reason, if there was data entered previously for Client A, 0 cannot be accepted to re-submit - a value needs to be input. So we spend more time than we should each month typing in ".000000001" as an input for each month/client/account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Oracle Hyperion Planning: The system is very sustainable in itself. Once the detail is inputted into Hyperion, the retrieve functions of the system are readily available and usable. As my company has a very unique business/revenue model, we unfortunately are unable to take full advantage at this time of all the schedules that Hyperion has to offer. That being said, while my company is so unique we are very fortunate to have a system like Hyperion to be able to input and retrieve data so efficiently. Hyperion has various schedules and templates for all companies to take advantage of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Oracle Hyperion Planning solving and how is that benefiting you? The business problem that has been solved by using Hyperion is the efficiency of pulling data from the system in a quick and concise fashion. Especially during busy work periods, it is very beneficial to the timing of deliverables to have a system with the ability to pull detail at the client and account level on hand. This is a large benefit of the system and such retrieve abilities helps with all forms of accounting, finance, and budgeting tasks at my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sr. Software Engineer - Oracle BI/EPM Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/5/2015 "Hyperion Planning - A Helpful Budgeting, Forecasting, and Reporting Tool" 4/5 What do you like best about Oracle Hyperion Planning? Hyperion Planning is a great model for planning and reporting because it provides a simple solution for finance teams to track their company’s key financial metrics. The Hyperion Planning forms offer easy data entry for financial analysts to input and track their budgets, forecasts, actuals, commitments, and any other scenarios the company may use. All Planning data is stored in a multi-dimensional database called Essbase. Planning also leverages a relational database that is used to load metadata into Planning. This comes in handy for other uses such as loading actuals from an ERP system. One of the best advantages of Hyperion Planning is that it makes reporting very easy. I have seen many cases where analysts would use Excel spreadsheets to track all kinds of financial data, and it would take hours or days to create a report when it was requested by an executive. Smart View, the Excel-based add-in to Planning, removes this hassle. Smart View contains ad-hoc capabilities and allows users to quickly request data out of Planning. Users can generate all types of reports based on the data from Planning, such as sales, capital expenditures, or variance reports like Budget vs Actuals. If you take it a step further and use Hyperion Financial Reporting, you can create customized reports to deliver to users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oracle Hyperion Planning? I would like to see performance enhancements in the next few versions of Hyperion Planning. Sometimes scrolling and searching through dimensions is slow, as well as rendering data forms. Oracle has said there are some improvements with the 11.1.2.4 version, but I have not used it in a business environment yet. A multi-dimensional database also has certain limitations when pulling metadata. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Oracle Hyperion Planning: If your company is looking for an EPM tool with budgeting, forecasting, and simple reporting capabilities, I would recommend Hyperion Planning as your solution. Hyperion Planning/Essbase/Smart View are widely-useds across many business units in my organization. I would contact Oracle with questions about your specific business needs and schedule a Hyperion Planning demonstration to see if it is the appropriate planning and software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Oracle Hyperion Planning solving and how is that benefiting you? The main problem that we are solving, which I touched on in the above section, is the fact that budgeting, forecasting, and reporting take large amounts of time and resources without the implementation of a planning and reporting software. Users are able to easily manage their company accounts, products, locations, and other data through the Planning tool. Forecast and budget versions are easy to save and use in reporting. Planning makes data entry, data management, and data analysis much simpler. Hyperion Planning can save a company significant amounts of cost, time, and resources.

CG Christopher G. Founder, Co-CEO Accounting Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/19/2015 "Hyperion experience in two different Fortune 500 FP&A organizations" 4/5 What do you like best about Oracle Hyperion Planning? Overall, the product's data entry and extraction tools are excellent. Like most systems, management and maintenance dictates its effectiveness. The organizations I worked for had excellent support and management for their Hyperion tools and they were very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oracle Hyperion Planning? The UI/UX could be a lot more friendly, including the integration with excel. The web form wasn't optimized for all browsers and can run slow. The excel integration (Smartview) runs much faster speedwise, but the user interface is not as friendly. If you're an excel jockey, it takes some personal macros to reduce your keystrokes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Oracle Hyperion Planning: I believe you need a large organization to use this tool effectively. It takes a good team to manage implementation, maintenance, and upgrades outside of your user base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Oracle Hyperion Planning solving and how is that benefiting you? I used the tool primarily for forecasting, budgeting, and reporting. It's incredibly beneficial for folks to collaborate across large organizations in building financial forecasts and budgets. Scenarios are easily managed, updates flow seamlessly, and data is easily able to be extracted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can customize it based on your business needs. I co-led that effort at one of my previous employers, and it was a huge success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oracle Hyperion Planning? What you input is what you get. Once move away from the Off-The-Shelf option, it requires significant investment. However, the human ROI (time savings to generate state-of-art-reports with a click of a button, etc.) is very positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Oracle Hyperion Planning: Analyze the Pros and Cons when comparing to other products. Hyperion will come out ahead of the game as long as the right commitment is made. Be sure to design it at the worker-Bee level with a top management roll-up in mind. Your work bees will use it the most, so be sure to invest at the lowest possible level of detail that can roll-up to the highest level in management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Oracle Hyperion Planning solving and how is that benefiting you? My internal clients wanted standardized budget reports, and fast. With the Hyperion Planning solution we were able to achieve that and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
