Just starting to dip our big toe into EPBCS
Being used by our Corporate FP&A department for Strategic Modeling and Budgeting.
- It mimics HSF, but doesn't require the infrastructure or upgrades that HSF does.
- Currently there is a big functionality gap, in that iterations of models cannot be saved off unless scripts are written to do this. Oracle has promised Direct Migration functionality will be available in their May release.

Oracle EPM does the job for consolidation, planning, and analytical reporting to gain insights into your business
EPM is used across our finance organization to solve our consolidation, planning, budgeting, and forecasting problems. Users input data on a monthly basis and the EPM system is utilized for reporting numbers to the corporate finance team. Prior to this, we had a legacy system and it had challenges with data input and reporting. EPM has solved many of our data integration issues and all our users love the tool.
- Consolidation
- Planning and budgeting
- Data management
- Reporting
- Smartview
- Adoption of API with other products such as reporting into Tableau, Qlik, and Power BI
- Data integration with Salesforce platform

Oracle Cloud EPM - Next Big Thing
Oracle Cloud EPM enables my organization to consolidate all the revenue and expenses to create an organization level view. This enables us to discover hidden costs or revenues and help us forecast the costs and revenues separately and track the progress against the same adjusting the forecasts in real time.
- Downtime is really low
- Latency issues are rare as the instances are available in the nearby regions
- Reports are more useful and can be tailor made by everyone as per their use case
- Initial onboarding is a bit rocky and the performance is not up to the mark
- Unintuitive navigation
- At times data retrieval works at a snail's pace
Oracle Cloud EPM is being used by almost every function of our organization right from Strategy, Planning, HR, and Finance. We are using it to feed data from different sources into one single system and make sense out of that data using Data Analytics and ML techniques and then to present these findings on a regular basis to top management in order to equip them to plan and forecast accurately.
- Interactive and custom reports can be generated easily
- UI is intuitive and even people who are not that tech-savvy are able to get used to it without any other support
- Consummate tool. One rarely needs any other external application or plugin
- Performance not up to the mark out of the box
- Support is not adequate
- Relatively expensive
- Complicated forms and difficult to navigate UI

Oracle Cloud EPM--the future of EPM
Oracle Cloud EPM is primarily used for collecting, collating, and organizing companywide financial data and converting it into insights and meaningful information. It is also an integral part of our overall company planning as well as individual vertical planning. Planning here refers not only to financial planning but HR and individual project planning as well.
- More relevant insights are delivered in no time, as all of the data is collated at a single place and then the built-in analytics tools help generate meaningful and actionable insights using machine learning
- Financial reconciliation and reporting becomes easy, too, at different reporting standards like IGAAP and IFRS
- Reports can be customized using smart view, and once the report is created, it keeps on auto-refreshing.
- Customer support is not up to the mark; we almost always need to go up the escalation matrix in order to get the desired support in due time
- Data extraction is slow, especially at the scale of my organization
- Archaic user interface
- It's expensive

Great if you don't have access to on-premises licensing
Our small company uses Oracle Cloud EPM for budget planning. All departments use it. They are preparing the company's operational expenses budget, capital expenses budget, and revenue budget. They are using parametric expense forecasting. Oracle Cloud EPM is very useful for parametric architecture and ideal for multi-participant budgeting.
- Easy access
- Simple data entry
- Quick calculation
- Inflexible integrations
- You need to have an Internet connection

EPM Cloud and My Views
My customers used it primarily for the FP&A Activities. It is built on the renowned Hyperion Planning engine. It is very helpful in the automation of budgeting and forecasting activities and in eliminating the spreadsheet driven planning activities. Automation and Integration capabilities are improved a lot compared to 2015.
- Smartview Integration
- Smart Push
- Valid Intersections
- Data Management
- Navigation Flows
- Groovy Rules
- Pre built Financials Module can be much simpler
- Workforce Module - HRMS integration can be much better
- Hybrid Integration - there is long way to go

EPM Cloud
Oracle EPM is used for external and management reporting.
- Excel Reporting,
- Ease of use for end-users.
- Customizable.
- It lacks the consolidation features used by competitors.
- It uses 20 year Essbase technology.
- Oracle sold the product without a metadata or ETL solution.

Planning and budgeting at your fingertips!
Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud is used by our finance department. It is their only tool to plan financial budgets and build their forecast. The financial reports generated out of the module are used extensively for comparing the plan vs actuals. The data from our core fusion ERP system is loaded daily into EPBCS that keep the module as current as possible to compare the performance against the budgets.
- Smartview capability provides a flexible user interaction for those finance users familiar with Excel.
- The built-in finance adapter makes the data extract from Fusion ERP a seamless experience and proceeds with data integration as an easy chore.
- Webstudio or financial reporting enables actuals vs plan comparisons a cleaner validation.
- 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.

Oracle EPM Cloud Review
We support Oracle EPM Cloud at other banking companies.
- Secure data transfer.
- Quick transactions.
- Customers don't really trust it yet.
- Pricing is somewhat complicated.

Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud - Why use it?
Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud is being used by our client to manage to close and consolidating and maintain compliance and auditability at the same time. The primary reason why this was chosen over other options is that they already have Oracle Financials, Human Resource Cloud, Sales cloud and Planning and Budgeting cloud and having an Oracle app for this purpose too allows them to have one flawlessly integrated system.
- Unlike other Fusion cloud products, Financial Consolidation cloud has a lot of best practice configuration built in which ensures that you're up and running in no time.
- The analytics for Fusion has got to be one of the most important reasons people love Fusion apps. It's extremely potent and the visual graphs are the treat!
- Offers an end to end solution with features like automated cash flow reporting, multi GAAP reporting, great support for foreign exchange translation adjustments.
- To realise the true value, you need to have other Oracle Fusion apps to work with.
- Third party integrations are unreliable, to say the least. The so-called automated extracts and reports fail very frequently.
- UI could be better. More often than not, the application is quite buggy and unresponsive.

Net Neutral on PBCS and Negative on EPCRS
EPM cloud is being used for Forecasting, budgeting , and KPI reporting. EPRCS is not being used as the product has not shown its value or ease of use.
- EssBase Cube is strong
- Multiple dimensions and adhoc reporting is powerful
- Dashboard reporting is adequate
- Performance has not been reliable in the cloud and support from Oracle always requires escalation
- Dashboard reporting would be better if it allowed stronger publishing and distribution outside the application.
- Better troubleshooting tools for the end user for performance and errors

Oracle Cloud EPM in the media industry
Oracle Account Reconciliation Cloud is used by finance. It is used to reconcile accounts during period-end activities.
- Automate the reconciliation process
- Contributes to reducing the time it takes to close the books
- Automate the reconciliation process
- It would be great to embed AI (Artificial Intelligence) into ARC so that it learns the reconciliation error patterns
- RPA (Robotic Process Automation) could be a good addition to ARC to automate the full process of reconciliation and correction
- no training
No

We are fairly new to the Oracle offerings. We are using FCC at department level - within corporate sector, right now.

Magic Quadrant leader never fails to impress!
Oracle EPM Cloud is only being used by our financial management team in our organization. The two main business problems we are using Oracle EPM Cloud to solve are to manage the performance of our enterprise and for analytics related to business intelligence. We needed a solution that was both easy-to-use and flexible to our changing demands, hence we chose Oracle EPM Cloud.
- Fast performance. Compared to Oracle EPM Cloud's competitors, we had no problems whatsoever in quickly connecting to the Cloud.
- User-friendly interface. Navigation is intuitive, and users don't have to shoot in the dark to find settings.
- Customizable and flexible to an enterprise needs. We have yet to need any external plugins/add-ons for our use cases.
- Customer support is poor. I and many of my colleagues have had awful experiences repeatedly for trying to get someone on the line for assistance.
- Abundance of software bugs. EPM Cloud is close, but not quite at the level of maturity. Much time was wasted trying to figure out whether a problem was with the software or our own configuration setup.
- Repetition and redundancy when filling out forms. I have had to cut-paste the same information multiple times for some steps in the transaction entry forms.

Oracle EPM Cloud Review
I started using Oracle EPM Cloud when I realized it would help with the extended financial close. It gave our programmers the ability to respond in a fast and efficient timeframe.
- Reliability.
- Effectiveness.
- Compatibility.
- Other programs are trying to imitate them and possibly improve on them.

Oracle Cloud EPM exceeds expectations
It's being used by the FP&A team for monthly business reporting package. Prior to having the Oracle EPM Cloud, the team used Excel spreadsheets. This is a lot easier without having to manually calculate other formulas.
- Smart View allows accountants to create their own reports easily.
- Reports are dynamically refreshed after the month-end close.
- Allows flexible reporting using alternative account hierarchy.
- Our implementation consultant set up all the business rules for calculations to get us live, and we may have difficulty setting up new ones going forward. We feel like that we now need to hire someone who has the technical knowledge to help us to manage the system going forward.

Read this before you implement!
Currently we have on-premises Hyperion, and that is a very dated version and we do not have a lot of new capabilities released by Oracle. EPBCS is planned to be used across the organization.
- Out of the box capabilities.
- Ease of use.
- A monthly roll-out of new features.
- To configure cloud services, one must invest a lot
- A system integrator is required.
- SI costs a lot.

EPM Review
We use it for our entire AOP and QOP plan in OPEX and revenue. It is being used across the company and management is getting real-time details to make quick decisions.
- Different model plans for management needs - for OPEX and revenue, we need to build different models to meet the needs of our company. EPM cloud is good at this and meets our needs for creating these models.
- One global plan and integration with other cloud-like Oracle HCM for plans - reduces the manual effort of getting the data and activating information.
- Easy to use application.
- More simple integrations needed.
- Simple SSO needed to access - We need to have two-factor authentication.
