Chose Oracle Hyperion (legacy)
Hyperion was easier to use and learn and problem solve issues than Oracle Financials
I use Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Mangement because the company I work at requires me to use it in the Financial Planning sector as most of their data is stored in it. I am open minded and ready to use other performance management tools created by Oracle if my work …
Compared with some of the other products that had been used, Oracle Hyperion had solved the major impediment of integrating multiple ERP systems (both SAP and non-SAP) with relative ease while providing the business the leverage to analyze, comprehend, and rectify the data.
Hyperion makes it easier to create reports based on the data available on Hyperion. However is Phocas is better for drilling down information and it is also much more mobile.
None of the other products used or evaluated are available for me to select. I have used EPMware with is a competing software to DRM. I find the ROI on this tool greater then DRM. It is about a quarter of the cost and directly interfaces with multiple Hyperion applications. CXO …
Hyperion is easy to implement and maintain, low cost of ownership is also a great reason to select this product. Oracle's investment to keep the product innovations and improvements over the years is well appreciated by the users. The ease of managing integration with different …

Chose Oracle Hyperion (legacy)
It is the leading system, with the most power and flexibility of any of these. It is also the most expensive. Berkeley needs the best possible tool for this job. Questica and Workday cannot handle the number of dimensions we use. Adaptive might be a good competitor but since I …
We utilize Tableau as well for reporting, but the good thing about OracleHyperion Enterprise Performance Management is it is in sync with our ledger as we utilize Oracle Ledger from our side. Tableau has a better user interface but the EPM's understanding of the data makes it …
When we were trying to decide between Oracle Hyperion and SAP BPC, the cost and functionality were pretty much the same between both products, but we decided for the Oracle solution as it was better positioned in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for consolidation softwares, and some …
Oracle has led the charge on the development of true EPM reporting. The development of rudimentary KPIs to much more complex models all can be housed and managed by Hyperion. Integrates with Office through Smartview, which provides flexibility in creating Word documents, board …
In our review, Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management stacks up pretty well against SAP Business Warehouse. The most glaring area was cost. For a product capable of the same level of reporting day in and day out, Hyperion offered the best bang for the buck. This …
Toyota has a global presence and deals with different countries and different currencies. To manage finance, this tool is the most reliable tool I found if the company has a global presence. If you deal with any tool to manage Financial matters, performance and reliability is …
We have evaluated other options in the past, and we are currently re-evaluating some of the SaaS providers due to the increased strength of those products over the last few years. However, our biggest need continues to be a very capable consolidation tool as we are …
Planview and Microsoft Project have many similar features. However, the direct contact with the Planview team for questions, tech support, and training is unprecedented and appreciated. Microsoft Project: -Weaknesses: Limited to single project management, lacks risk and time …
Planview Portfolios is the market leader in the area, the flexibility of the product and the continuous investment by Planview makes Planview Portfolios currently the best in the market. The support organisation for implementation and run of Planview Portfolios rounds off the …
We are just in the process of deploying AgilePlace and will connect with Portfolios Smartsheet, which does have the functionality we need. We are just starting to use AgilePlace. We have a business group doing a proof of concept.
Planview has been growing continuously in the last decade or so, and its acquisitions of some big players in the market have imparted much-needed confidence in the tool. The ability to integrate Planview using APIs, Snap Logic, or Planview's own tool, 'Hub,' makes it stand out …
We are currently in the process of evaluating but so far Planview seems to fit our needs the best. Portfolios was selected prior to me joining the team.
Planview has much more potential in terms of it's products and capabilities. It can integrate more easily with many more of our other products and software. Planview reporting is much more intuitive.
Planview Portfolios has an extremely robust data structure that supports many different use cases. Its customizability, large suite of features, and great customer service makes it a fantastic and scalable solution for many different businesses and business process …
Clarity is significantly more configurable and more intuitive. When implementing Clarity, you do have to be careful not to configure too much- if you do, the canned reports will not work.
I was not on the team that selected Planview Portfolios.
Well suited: For use in multiple offices around the world. I was able to obtain financial reporting data from 5 foreign offices and then consolidate their data with 3 domestic USA offices to prepare a consolidated financial statement. Less Appropriate: Translating the financial value for consulting services could be a bit challenging because that required human interaction and judgement. It would have been great to be able to set up some software to be able to interpret this and let it run for all future project work revenue projection.
Planview Portfolios is well suited to provide a single, central, view of the truth. There is clear expansion capabilities to integrate it as a true Enterprise toolset with existing organisation wide (not just delivery) - you can pick and choose what you need to implement and that list gets longer. The ability to quickly gain an understanding of resources within the overall portfolio and some really clever tools regarding capacity and demand modelling. I think the only challenge we have encountered is modelling our Business as Usual activity to a level of detail - this is due to other tools being very embedded not just in the organisation but across a lot of industries.
HFM is very powerful for financial consolidations .
Hyperion Planning is used to project accurate planning and thus provide the benefit to organization to do allocations and driver based planning so that it can justify the numbers based on headcount, number of stops & Revenue and thus provide valuable projections and thus help reduce the expenses.
Essbase is powerful engine helps provide analytical adhoc reporting for financial users . Performance of reporting and ease of use helps excellent customers experience when doing adhoc analysis.
Out of the box analytics. Canned, but modestly configurable reports that provide quick insights to project and resource performance.
Flexible configuration enables resource management at a macro or micro level.
Modeling (what-if). I can create projects, load with resources and quickly stack it against our existing portfolios to identify conflicts and optimize scheduling.
Oracle Hyperion requires a lot of knowledge and expertise to be successful.
The underlying infrastructure of Oracle Hyperion is complex and can be difficult to implement.
Some of the Oracle Hyperion application servers only run on Windows. Windows can sometimes be unstable.
Oracle Hyperion application server processes are dependent on each other and need to be started in a specific order. Therefore, if certain services die on one server, it could require all services/processes in the entire Hyperion landscape to be restarted in the correct order.
We're in the middle of the road because we are not sure that other products on the market fit the bill for what we need yet. Hyperion is expensive and burdensome from an administrator and maintenance standpoint, but it still seems to be the best solution for what we need. Show us an equally capable SaaS consolidation product and we'll talk again.
Portfolios are useful enterprise solutions for new and old use cases. They have robust reporting capabilities and many opportunities to customize the functions without additional costs. Although some desired features are still in development, and the reporting infrastructure has some issues, Portfolios continue to offer more capabilities than we can take advantage of at any time.
Perfect tool for planning resource time management. Giving flexibility with ease in uptodate . Team collabration . Team aligment. Top management aligment. Close the project with feed back . Team aligment. Expert contribution in task . Task management easy for project manager . Nice tool to have for project manager. Cost contol & project management is very easy with Planview
We are long time Planview users and its availability is only limited to our internal SLAs for nightly backups. I have never experienced any unexpected or prolonged software downtime from Planview itself.
There are occasions when the system is a bit sluggish. However, it may not always be on the Planview side. We are investing in better tools to monitor our network performance, which will help us diagnose issues more effectively in the future.
The premium support team provides much needed dedicated customer service which we are after for what we have paid for this service. We are satisfied with the service and support and do not have any instance where there was an issue that requires escalation to get the right support team. Though the incidence of major issues that requires the premium support are less, we prefer to keep this as a safety net.
Consultants are knowledgeable and friendly; it is easy to build relationships with the support people you work with and they learn how best to help you. The vendor is continuously looking for honest feedback about their tool and they use that information to design their product roadmaps
Always have a pre-implementation meeting or conference call with Planview to ensure all are on the same page, disclosure of all and any customization (including reports) and plan for support after implementation of a specified amount of time with the assigned implementation resource. And document everything
Hyperion is easy to implement and maintain, low cost of ownership is also a great reason to select this product. Oracle's investment to keep the product innovations and improvements over the years is well appreciated by the users. The ease of managing integration with different business systems is also considered while selecting this product.
We are currently using Planview AgilePlace. Also we use Tasktop Hub for integrating with other applications within the organization. We would like to use ProjectPlace which is integrated with Planview Portfolios in the future.
We are constantly growing and expanding. It is challenging to accommodate different user needs, but the system does provide means of doing that as we desire.
We had to get the planning application designed correctly before we got a good ROI, but once we did it became well liked and highly utilized.
It has had a very positive overall impact on increasing finance literacy across campus, allowing units a better insight into their revenues and expenses and the overall planning process.
It has been an essential tool during a time where the campus needed to reduce it's budget by over 100 million dollars annually. Without this product, we would not have a way to identify, track and report on our progress reducing the budget.
The positive impact is the ability to manage our projects enterprise wide.
Managing and reporting on projects and programs via portfolios makes it easy to identify troubled projects/programs that need immediate attention.
The negative is that pushing too much change too quickly is hard for us. We need to get our users focused on the basics of PM before we can adopt everything else. We need to introduce change to different companies based on their maturity level. Too much change too quickly is not always beneficial. We need to focus on core competencies.
