What is your opinions on the Hyperion tool as a industry best-in-class BI tool?

Hyperion has a very wide product range which it offers.The widely accepted and most popular tools which distinguishes it from others like BO and COGNOS are Hyperion Essbase(MDDB),Hyperion Financial Management(For Financial Consolidation) and Hyperion Planning.Other tools which are not that much distinct from BO and Cognos are Hyperion Designer(Interactive Reporting),SQR and Hyperion Performance Suite.So the response will be mixed for some products yes it is best in class but for others its not that distinguishing.
