Oracle's Corporate Performance Management suite was acquired from Hyperion in 2007. Hyperion customers are encouraged to migrate to Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM.
I've previously used Hyperion in the past and it's not nearly as robust or flexible as a calculation engine. Anplan allows for a lot more flexibility than previous softwares. It's a great middle ground between having a super rigid system and the ultra flexibility (but at times, …
Anaplan is much more user-friendly to architect than Hyperion or TM1/Planning Analytics. By outsourcing cloud storage to Anaplan, much of the headache of maintaining internal servers is removed. The calculation speed and traceability of Anaplan's calculation modules are also …

Oracle Hyperion is also very powerful but requires much more technical skillset than Anaplan. Deploying Anaplan had a lower barrier to entry and the consistent platform releases meant the product was continuously growing. Being on the cloud also meant we would get updates as …
Not used Hyperion but Anaplan is blank sheet and we can implement whatever is our requirement.

My first experience of an EPM system was Hyperion on-premise. I found that you needed a lot of database understanding and a coding mind. Whereas Anaplan is more logical, you can write formulas in a similar way to excel. Anaplan is also much more flexible and forgiving of any …

Anaplan is more efficient to implement in terms of the waterfall approach of delivering the MVP in the first release and then accordingly working towards the appropriate user feedback/suggestions/enhancements in corresponding sprint planning phases. Hyperion is a pretty large …
Anaplan is what I would consider a modeling platform. It excels at taking a forecasting or planning process and systematizing it - and allowing for whatever nuances and granularity you need to perform that modeling. It is not positioned as "data collection" platform - which …

Anaplan is much more customizable and better suited to End user interaction. Also, it provides far more customizable reporting capabilities within the tool. Also, Anaplan is much more suited to implementation of different use cases where Hyperion is limited to some select few …
Anaplan is more flexible and can adapt to any business scenario. It is very cost effective compared to other platforms in the market. Time to implement a solution is very short depending on use case.
Anaplan has obvious advantages over Excel and is a favorite in financial planning. Another important selection criterion was the SaaS format with quick startup and self-support/development of the system without the involvement of IT (No-Code philosophy). The minimal license …
A successful implementation is not always related to the tool, but also related to the quality of the implementation taking into account the limitations, particularities, or the way of working of the tool and using the best-practices related to that tool.

I used other competitors, and I think, overall, Anaplan is a much better solution. It's younger and not a result of older generation solutions that have been adapted over the years and that are much more difficult to learn and customise.

Anaplan's UX and calculation engine tend to perform better. Regarding the UX, Anaplan's is very customizable and end-user-friendly. Some of the other solutions' UX looks very dated. Regarding the calculation engine, when an input is made in Anaplan it will calculate real-time …

Oracle Enterprise Performance Management solutions are high on coding and their response time is on a higher end. Also, they have a fixed structure, which renders them unsuitable for some of the requirements.
Other platforms offer some scale vs Anaplan by adding great user interfaces and many out of the box functionality (Time filtering, versions, predefined tables (modeled sheet), chart of accounts (debit, credit)). However, very structured architecture makes edge use cases harder …
Anaplan requires less IT support and its calculation engine is far more powerful. Anaplan is also less expensive when total cost of ownership is considered. We also liked that you're able to use Anaplan for a variety of business planning functions rather than having a bespoke …
