“perfect for forecast comparison”
Pros
The actual and forecasting cubes work together well which makes the tool very dynamic when comparing forecasted numbers against actual financial results.
Cons
It isn't very user friendly and takes a lot of training and configuration to use properly. The biggest factor is getting the suite implemented correctly so it can integrate with Salesforce and other applications, while also allowing headcount and commentary details to be included as part of the financial information.

“Reliable for centralized planning”
Pros
Having everyone work from one platform has made the information much more consistent across the board. It also lets us pull aggregated data almost immediately after it's entered which has been a big improvement since we're no longer getting different answers based on whose spreadsheet someone checks.
Cons
A lot of steps still happen outside the application before we can submit our inputs. Because of that, user adoption has been a challenge at times since many people still find spreadsheets more familiar and easier to use.

“Top tier budgeting automation”
Pros
One of the biggest advantages is how well it automates budgeting and forecasting. It also handles complex financial operations very efficiently and the ability to integrate third-party applications with Oracle Hyperion Planning adds a lot of value.
Cons
Getting users trained on the software can be challenging at times especially when clients without a technical background try to use it and find it a bit difficult. My team and I also run into technical glitches quite often when multiple people are working in the application at the same time.
