Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud

Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud services (PBCS) is being used only by a few business units which have a different planning process than the worldwide business partners. The major issue addressed is the network latency due to existing in-house servers being located in a different continent.
  • Easy Deployment - since the infrastructure is all in place and doesn't need coordination between internal teams in installing servers or providing background support from relational database personnel.
  • Open access - users don't have to be connected to the VPN if they have to finish some work real quick.
  • Less administrative work for admins on managing and setting Essbase properties etc.. for optimization.
  • Task Lists open to all in simplified view even though security is assigned.
  • Would like to see an easy way to upload application security from a flat file.
  • Simplified view is good for users, but would prefer the administrators to be able to select default classic view. The view sometimes keeps slipping into simplified view even though the classic view has been selected.
  • It is easy to bring the app according to the needs of the users. The user community maintains the app by themselves now.
I have only used Hyperion products.
PBCS is well suited for small to mid size companies with small IT footprints.
It would be able to grow much if network latency issues across the globe can be removed to have a single app available all across.
