Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management vs. Stibo Systems Multidomain MDM

It is well suited in a geographically distributed environment where you have various key participants in multiple time zones providing input and necessary explanations on performance and measured success It is less appropriate where you have a single office environment with a single finance department working together. It is also less suited when the GL is NOT an Oracle product and the interface between the GL and the reporting software needs to be implemented with utmost care and handling.

Stibo Systems is a solution for companies with spare data to start doing Business Intelligence Analysis and forecasts. Several micro-operations of the companies are still managed by worksheets like Excel on desktops and sometimes on the cloud like Google Sheets. For these scenarios, the industries need to integrate this "outside of the system" data to analyze it. I recommend that Stibo Systems load all the worksheets to avoid losing data. Stibo needs improvement in Business Intelligence and Machine Learning.

• Account Reconciliation CLoud Services provides tight integration with Oracle R12 and 11i . Provides drillback capability. It is flexible and provides rich functionality to users.
• We have implemented ARCS on cloud and migrated planning and budgeting from On premise to PBCS and EPBCS. Functionality is onpar with onpremise. Provides regular updates monthly
• We don't need to upgrades every year and saved a lot on Hardware.

• Asset management
• Data sharing
• Page production

• The limitation of constrained out of the box dimensions that requires ripping the initial implementation to add the new dimensions is a major drawback.
• Smartview interface is cumbersome for many.
• The only financial adapter is available for integration for other modules we have to go with file-based uploads which is cumbersome and not real-time.
• It is very costly in terms of licensing unlike other Oracle products.

• PDX which is newly launched and it looks very messy with so many configurations
• Digital asset handilng is still lacking features depth
• Product license is very expensive

We have a pretty good userbase who are at the high level who gained value from this tool. Discontinuing this tool is prone to impact their day to day operations. Also the data in this tool cannot alter the source, which maintains the integrity of this tool. Smartview is a cool addition that gained lot of traction as well.

It produces consolidated multi currency reports faster and more accurately whilst adding additional pivotal functionality. The Smartview reporting is a key for us and a flagstone of the application

It's a very powerful tool but made for the more IT focused user vs. a typical business user. Our team has knowledge of both sides but if we were to provide this to another internal team such as marketing or product, it would be a challenge due to functionality not being available in both their web app (user friendly) and workbench (backend focused)

EPM has been so far available all the time

Support from our implementation partner is a 10/10, but support from Oracle is awful. Case in point: recently over a 2-day period, there were a series of intermittent outages. Oracle actually asked US for the outage time-stamps. I would have thought that, since we were paying them, they should probably be able to tell us!

I suggest doubling the time to implement from the initial quote you get from the Sales team. That's always been the case for me for multiple EPMs now. The out-of-the-box functionality of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is pretty robust so I appreciate that and it really helped us get the ball rolling quickly.

Incentivized

Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud fared very well against Adaptive, Anaplan, and Host Analytics. We ultimately decided on Oracle due to its reputation and strength of existing customers. We are happy with our decision.

Stibo has an easy-to-use API to use as DATA as a Service. I like SAP Master Data Governance, but I think Stibo has more specialization in integrating the relationships among the data tables. And then expose this data in the web API as a service. Stipo has documentation of cases for Retail and Logistics and how to integrate this spare data.

The product is scalable

• Significantly reduced the amount of money we spent for the maintenance of in-house hardware.
• We now need less employees to manage the configurations of Oracle EPM Cloud.
• There have been many time savings as a whole to apply to more productive causes.

• Since I have this program I can safely say that our customers feel more comfortable in each of the business processes and relationships with our company.
• Stibo Systems Multidomain MDM is a great help that gives its users agility to manage and manipulate all their master data, this program is a total guarantee.
