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 has done an amazing job in the last 5 years to bring its on-premise Hyperion suite of products into Oracle EPM. The tool was redesigned and the user interface has improved a lot. Data integration has come a long way and loading data from other ERP sources helps users with reconciliation and reporting. There is tight integration between the modules as well.

We are using Oracle Cloud EPM for consolidation, planning, budgeting, and forecast processes. We also use the financial reporting modules for reports.
  • Setup and configuration are not that complex
  • User interface is easy to navigate
  • Reporting and SmartView ad-hoc reports provide self-serve options for users
  • Can be combined into a single platform/application
  • Integration for metadata and hierarchy management can be streamlined
Overall a great cloud product for someone that is coming out of on-premises world and into cloud. Hardware maintenance, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning go away with cloud.

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
Oracle Cloud EPM is more suited for the organizations where there are either no or only a few third-party applications, as integration with other applications is a nightmare and seems to be full of troubles. One simply can't bank on these integrations to deliver high performance; they seem to fail very often.

We use Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud for all our financial planning processes at our company. We implemented it three years ago. We’ve been quite satisfied with the tool which we leverage heavily. Our Finance team is primarily using it.
  • Multi-users forecast concurrently
  • User security
  • User interface quality
  • Implementation speed
Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud are most appropriate for companies who want to scale their forecasting processes beyond excel functionality and take it to the next level. This will enable scale, efficiency, and speed.

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.
Companies will need to change their processes to follow the Oracle standard process. It does not work well for a sub-standard process.

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.
The tool is well suited for financial planning and budgeting if the dimensions are clearly defined. Other modules like projects, workforce, and capital don't seem like they have the robustness as that of the financial module. This is something the product development should improve and users should be wary of. If there is extensive dimensional configuration other than the 4 out of the box dimensions then it is worth re-considering and better to go with PBCS instead of EPBCS.

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
For straight budget and forecasting - it is adequate For dash boarding when logged in - good Ability to do budget/forecast via SV or Workspace is a nice option

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
ARC is well suited for period and year-end close process.

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.
Considering the costs of implementing and purchasing the license for Oracle EPM Cloud, I would say it is not well-suited for smaller companies and startups. On the other hand, it is a great solution for medium-sized companies and up. If your budget allows it, this is probably hands-down one of the best EPM systems out there.

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.
We just automated our GL feeds into Oracle Cloud EPM so we can run reports in real-time. It is very helpful to see the preliminary financial results.

Oracle EPM Cloud is being used to efficiently and effectively plan our annual budget. We are able to generate reports and calculations to assist with our budget as well as the creation of ad hoc queries and monthly reporting needs. We currently utilize this product within the finance division.
  • We utilize the SmartView Excel add-in tool to generate reports for various needs including annual state reporting and unexpected need.
  • Monthly maintenance to the EPM Cloud service is keeping the product up to date.
  • Communicate upcoming enhancements.
  • Ability to change how often patches are applied. Currently the only option is monthly.
  • Financial report building user-friendliness.
Oracle EPM Cloud is well suited for line-item budgets as well as the ability to house position managements. It's good for public sector organizations, like schools. It's also easy to use for someone who isn't an IT professional. It's been ideal for any project in which we need to link between spreadsheets.

  • The maintenance of the COA data has been simplified.
  • Integration between the non-Oracle transactional systems needs to simpler.

Currently using Oracle EPM Cloud's ePBCS for financial planning and implementing workforce planning. It is used in Phase 1 - Finance for budget setting, forecasting, and transfers of budgets. In Phase 2 HR, we will be using it to plan our people and have created interfaces for recruitment and to update HCM, in order to create new positions based on the required level of need.

This will allow us to have sight of our vacancies and demands. We are adopting position management in Oracle HCM Cloud, along with jobs, performance, learn module. Will will use this alongside the customer experience cube, to manage recruitment and retention.

We also have Oracle Analytics Cloud. This will help us to decide whether we have the talent in house to fulfill vacancies or if we need to go outside to recruit.
  • The tasks lists and workflow work well for managing activity.
  • The amount configuration that you can add allows personalisation.
  • Give you extra cubes to rebuild the EPBCS ones that don't fit.
  • Business rules.
  • Ability to create positions for HCM.
  • Connectivity to OACS fails, brings down EPM pod.
  • Ability to copy cubes between versions of the pods instead of all cubes.
  • Come with integrations to the rest of Oracle.
  • Secondary dimension sends 6000 emails when the workflow is turned on. This should not happen. Should be able to disable notifications.
  • BSO cube fails to return results.
Suited for planning. Not suitable in current state to interact with transactions.

Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is being used by our Finance Team and some select departments to do planning, forecasting, budgeting, and reporting. It's not being used by the whole company, but I estimate about 30%. It's a cloud-based platform which is great in driving new user adoption for teams outside of Finance. It's intended to address forecasting, budgeting, and reporting while serving as single-source-of-truth for all financial data.
  • Cloud based platform
  • Robust modeling capability
  • Easy to use for a Finance professional familiar with Excel and EPMs in general
  • Great Excel integration! A rarity for EPMs!
  • Good security
  • Better visualization/charting options.
  • More user-friendly tutorials to get up to speed on the system.
  • Would be great if the tool required less maintenance so the Finance Team could own it outright themselves.
  • General speed.
Appropriate: complex financial modeling, internal and external financial reporting, budgeting, reporting, and basic charting. Less appropriate: your main/sole visualization tool, decentralized budgeting process.

It is being used for budgeting and forecasting across the organization. It replaced an Excel-based process that was inefficient, slow and full of errors.
  • Ad-hoc reporting allows me to decide how data should be displayed.
  • Web forms are intuitive and easy to navigate.
  • Finance can handle tasks that use to require IT.
  • Alternate hierarchies provide a lot of reporting flexibility.
  • Adding metadata is not easy.
  • Environment is sometimes slow.
  • Web reporting tool could be more robust.
Budgeting, reporting, funds distribution, capital, and workforce apps are well suited for it.

We currently use EPBCS for planning & budgeting across the organization. We leverage primarily the expense & workforce module and our user group are various cost centre managers & administrators
  • Offers platform to connect with other Oracle cloud users. Great reference/ platform to ask questions to other users
  • monthly patches ensures that we can take advantages of the most updated functionalities
  • Communication & responses from Oracle product developers on Customer connect makes me feel like they take customer feedback seriously
  • Sometimes to do an action in the application takes too many clicks. (ie: adding a new employee in workforce )THis has been feedback from our user group.
  • some features not compatible with MS edge (ie: expansion of reports doesn't work in edge), which is becoming a common browser & is now the only supported browser at our company.
  • Alot of the times will get an error page when trying to hit the URL & will need to hit the browser refresh button to get the splash page to properly load

We have started with our cloud Journey with Oracle EPM Cloud. We started off with Account Reconciliation Cloud (ARCS). We have selected ARCS to manage our reconciliations and our coroprate Record to Report uses this. We want to automate reconciliations and provide better visibility and control over reconcilaitions. we are moving from a manual process to ARCS.
  • 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.
  • Core HFM functionality on Cloud is not yet on par. We use lot of custom dimensions and it is restricted at the moment.
  • Data Management on Cloud is not yet on par with FDMEE on premise.
Oracle EPM cloud is well matured Product . It has rich functionality. Delivers new features regularly and provides regular monthly updates.

My client is a multi-billion, multi-national construction and infrastructure company. Oracle EPM cloud was used to report monthly, quarterly, half year and full year. EPM cloud is also used to consolidate through the divisions and with the parent company in the UK. Reporting to the London Stock Exchange, providing timely consolidations to the level of detail required, over various divisions globally was a problem that the client struggled with for many years. Ultimately, they upgraded from HFM (standalone, on-prem) to Oracle EPM Cloud across the US and currently being implemented across all global divisions. The predominant problem being addressed is seamless consolidation and vital data capture for reporting on IFRS and GAAP globally.
  • Data integrity
  • Cloud integration - high availability and locally implemented instances that provide a custom feel
  • Systematic and customized capture of vital information
  • Does not necessarily require a dedicated administrator
  • Menus are not always intuitive.
  • When errors occur it is not always easy to pinpoint where the errors are coming from.
  • Customization is always a challenge with many products. Stock reports and operational financial information needs to be a priority during the implementation phase, so that a fully functioning finance department is not debilitated once live.
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.

It is used by our financial and planning team. ARCS and FCCS for reconcilation and close. EPBS for planning and budgeting. Using ARCS we are more efficient in our consolidation process. With EPBCS we have improved our planning and budgeting process. These solutions have given back the user lot more time to do value added work for their department and organization.
  • Task Manager in EPBCS helped out business users to track the planning and budgeting process.
  • EPBCS Driver based solution was a total win for us. We didn't have do much of a customization work.
  • Smart view reporting met the users adhoc reporting needs.
  • We have just started using it. After couple of cycles we will be able to add the missing functionality.
EPBCS driver based solution was a great fit to our requirements. We didn't have to go for any customization. It was a perfect out of box fit for us and for any future integration too.

I am helping my client move from on-prem to Cloud EPBCS with guidance to adopt as many of the out of the box frameworks as possible.
  • Reliability
  • Ease of use
  • Consistency with prior product to enhance user adoption
  • More flexibility within the frameworks
  • Transparency in performance optimization
  • More flexible migration options to exclude cubes in prod.
I would strongly recommend migration to the Cloud for new customers, existing customers that can adapt to the frameworks, and clients with flexibility in improving the way they use the product for peak performance.
