We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company.""What I appreciate most about this solution is its ease of customization compared to other products. Odoo is straightforward and simpler to customize. Additionally, it offers stability by decentralizing the entire ERP with multiple products, making management and support more efficient. Moreover, the availability of talent in India is a key advantage, as the salaries for Odoo professionals are relatively lower than SAP or Oracle ERP professionals. This makes it easier for us to find suitable talent for projects seamlessly.""It is a stable platform.""The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months.""We find manufacturing and stock quite useful, as well as the CRM to be the most valuable features.""Odoo is user-friendly. It's the first solution we tried, so we find it easy to use.""I like the helpdesk module, and I like the simplicity of integration among their modules. All the modules are very well integrated, and you can move among the modules in an easy way.""It is a comprehensive tool containing a lot of applications integrated together by nature. It is easy to use and has a nice interface that is easy to learn and teach your employees."

"Really scalable business application suite with good technical support and straightforward patching.""Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good.""It provides a well-centered database that is feature rich.""It can be an essential solution for those who can not just push to the cloud because they have critical data restrictions.""It's quite secure and fast, and we get an end-to-end solution.""This software scales very well across various implementations.""What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it. In the Indian market, the subscription solutions aren't that suitable, even in terms of the complexity of the regulations, taxes, etc., so that's why we had to go for an on-premise solution that's hosted on the cloud, and we're happy with Oracle E-Business Suite. We also like that Oracle E-Business Suite is quite flexible, and we've also built some bolt-ons and they're working fine.""Financial reconciliation and reporting."

Cons
"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better.""I'm uncertain because each year they release a new version with improvements. However, one area that needs significant enhancement is the website, particularly the modern core website. While there's an approach similar to WordPress, it is quite basic at the moment. Besides that, particularly with the POS solutions, we identified potential security issues. This is due to the storage of information on cookies or similar sessions. In cases of Internet-related issues, there's a vulnerability where data might be compromised. The system uses temporary storage until the internet connection is restored, and then it pushes the data to the server or database. This poses a risk, especially in point-of-sale systems, where there could be vulnerabilities for data modification or alteration by unauthorized individuals.""There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities.""There is room for improvement in Odoo's technical support.""Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify.""The tool needs to improve its scalability.""The authorization management needs to be improved.""The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature."

More Odoo Cons →

"I would like to see more automation.""Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets.""Oracle E-Business Suite's stability could be improved as they have a lot of bugs that need to be fixed.""The implementation took a long time but it was for many reasons. However, Oracle made sure that the solution and systems were up and running.""The integration features of the tool on on-premises weren't that great, making it an area where improvements are required.""The user interface could be better. It's not good because they made their interface all in one, and my customers don't want to use it. I have to customize the interface and personalize it to hide some fields on the screen. It has lots of information on the screen, and the user can't easily navigate it. It's very difficult to use. I think that Oracle should have something like best practices. They need to provide some patches to simplify the interface based on the industry niche. Because now we see everything on the same screen, but the users don't need all that information. It's complicated to use for end-users, and we have to spend more time training them. In the next release, I think they should implement most of the features in the mobile app. It should be better. Oracle didn't update their mobile application for a very long time. Connecting the mobile application is complicated.""The initial setup is complex.""It should be made a little bit more user friendly. When I complete my implementation and hand it over to the clients or the person who will operate it on a day-to-day basis, they find it a little bit difficult because they are not from a highly qualified IT background. I want Oracle to make it a little bit more user friendly."

  • "The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."

    Reviews from Real Users:

    Kopano R., Freelancer at a tech services company, says, “What I found most valuable in Oracle E-Business Suite is the patching because it is straightforward. As long as you follow Oracle's best practices, you are able to finish the task of patching without a problem. I like that it's also easy to add products, e.g. if you want to add on financials, you can, or if you don't have financials, you can expand on that. I like that Oracle E-Business Suite is really scalable.”

    Mohammed G., Senior Oracle Application Consultant at a comms service provider, writes, “Oracle E-Business Suite consists of a lot of streams, such as financial and HR processes of the enterprise companies. We are using most of the Oracle financial modules, and we have an Oracle stream, FI procurement stream, and HR streams, which have a lot of applications. Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good. “
