Featured Reviews

Abdul-Rauf - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies payroll processing and reduces the need for extensive marketing efforts while providing scalability, compliance, and excellent stability
I believe there is room for enhancement in the scope of services. We encountered challenges at times in clearly defining it, particularly because the firewall domain is extensive and demands localization for this service. Consequently, there is occasional confusion regarding whether a service falls under the standard category or is considered an add-on. I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension.
James Balbach - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizes our enterprise-wide functions but could benefit from cloud migration
We have dealt with customer service, and it was awful. For a system this size, it felt like we were merely buying software from them. They weren't really partnered with us on it. Reporting bugs and getting feedback, as well as having engineers work on issues, was very transactional. There was no real ownership on Oracle's part. During several support cases, it became difficult to determine ownership at Oracle and get status updates. The on-premises Oracle support is not great in my experience, and I think this is true in the industry. We've read about their software as a solution, and theoretically, their SaaS portal support is a lot better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system. A regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country."
"The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."
"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"It handles all my financial functions, including the entire process of financial transactions"
"Valuable features include Ledger and Subsidiary, Operating Unit, and Inventory Organization and Location."
"The solution has other core processes that can be implemented with customers according to their needs."
"I like that one system covers everything."
"It is a very consistent product on IBM. There is also a lot of knowledge data."
"EBS has lots of application families and lots of features. It is modular in deployment and flexible enough to let the customer increase the built-in capabilities and enable new applications when needed. These are very important things at hand in case there will be a need to expand the product capabilities and/or implement new projects."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is easy to use, and we have enough resources out in the market."
"Financial reconciliation and reporting."
 

Cons

"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."
"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"A lot more automation can be brought into E-Business Suite."
"It is still a little outdated as far as what we consider a twenty-first century software. You're still using Oracle forms, that sort of thing."
"HRMS analyzers should be automatically updated to be the most recent because Oracle support always asks for the latest version of the analyzer output."
"The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing processes."
"The integration features of the tool on on-premises weren't that great, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing."
"In SAP, when customization or work is done in an instance, it can be automatically copied to the production instance. Such automation would be a very good future addition to Oracle."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's stability could be improved as they have a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."
"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"It costs too much."
"Oracle generally gives a lot of discounts."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"Licensing and costing of Oracle EBS is very complex. We recommend to use a system integrator during the negotiation process since Oracle sales representatives sometime do not know the actual minimum requirements and may oversell the necessary licenses through ignorance."
