Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is robust and offers what should be available for consolidation/budgeting functionality. Have been a while since I used the product. Maybe it is better now.
  • SAP BPC integrates well as a financial management software, with powerful consolidation, rollup and budgeting features.

Cons

  • Have been working with number of FP&A/EPM tools and disliked this tool the most. Like almost any of the SAP suite it requires a lot of maintenance. Looks old fashioned and is not really doing the job. Also at the time it was on-premises/private cloud only. Look for a SaaS solution for this.
  • The GUI appears extremely dated and is prone to timeout and crashes. The module also does not come cheap!
