Yes, I have experience with both of them.

Hyperbase does not do grammatical tagging/lemmatization. It is mainly a
concordancer, with lexical statistics functions.

Cordial 6 universités is by far the best publicly available
tagger/lemmatizer for French. I use it myself extensively for large
projects, and the results are amazingly good.
