Vineeth John - PeerSpot reviewer

Custom reporting tool with field grabber, easy modules for recruitment and provides numerous options for integration
The complexity is the key challenge with a tool like ADP because it has all the bells and whistles and all the key features you can possibly think of. If it isn't there, there's always a third-party vendor you can integrate that way. But the only issue is that because it's complex, there needs to be some sort of system, at least on the back end, for the admins to understand what leads to what. We expect AI to improve multiple things with HR processes. The most obvious and common one would be the self-service function for employees, like a chatbot to help with FAQs. We are also building an AI tool that can possibly help managers make better talent management decisions. This tool will pull from the performance management tool, the talent profile, and the reports that we generally have to score employees across all different dimensions.

Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the reporting and benefits piece."
"I love the integration of HR, payroll, tax filing, benefits, time and attendance, GL, ACA, employee/manager self-service, reporting and analytics."
"It is a scalable solution."
"In my day-to-day work, attendance tracking would be most important. That's because I have a really diverse group of employees, and I have a subset of younger folks who are struggling with their attendance. So, that's the thing that I'm most involved with currently."
"Payroll: It is very easy and user-friendly."
"The platform is on a private cloud that is fully secure with no way for hacker penetration."
"For small to mid-sized companies, Workforce Now is one of the better products on the market, clean with an easy interface that is simple to maneuver around, stable, and will continue to improve into the future."
"The most valuable feature to me is performance management because we just started using that."
"It's robust and strong for sizeable enterprises that deal with big numbers daily and monthly."
"For large organizations like ours, its ability to handle our data volume with stability is, for us, a perfect match."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good."
"It's an end-to-end ERP solution. From a work order to financial reporting, everything is captured within one system."
"It is scalable."
"Helped make us compliant and provides a transparent view of our financial system."
"Its drag-and-drop features make data distribution a breeze."
"Shipment planning using Oracle Transportation Management has helped for: Accurate freight estimation Faster and accurate route planning Tracking shipments to ensure on time delivery Improving the customer experience."
 

Cons

"The complexity is the key challenge with a tool like ADP ."
"The Call Centre: The extension number takes too many digits to get through and the wait time is too long."
"Support leaves a lot to be desired."
"The ease of developing and creating reports could definitely use some improvement."
"The workflow is a bit weak."
"The report functionality is not as good as competitive products."
"Their “new and improved” message center (where you get notifications and go to approve things like time off) is actually not as easy as it used to be."
"When I'm not working with the implementation team and I'm just talking to customer service or something, they're just not a lot of help. They don't understand how it works. They'll tell you to do something that I know would affect something else. So, it's less about the software and more about just training their folks to a higher level."
"Oracle has improved a lot because Oracle E-Business Suite is quite outdated. Oracle built the Oracle Fusion platform and it has many improved processes. We registered a few enhancements requests, but it's a very long bureaucratic process with Oracle. It doesn't make any sense to communicate with Oracle about what changes should be made to the system."
"HRMS analyzers should be automatically updated to be the most recent because Oracle support always asks for the latest version of the analyzer output."
"For smaller ERP solutions, Oracle EBS is a complex solution which has complex requirements."
"They should have a nicer way to handle very high volumes of data because we deal with really high volumes, and sometimes, we end up with performance issues."
"A lot more automation can be brought into E-Business Suite."
"There have been many times where I have had performance problems if there are high volume loads."
"In Oracle E-Business Suite, there should be a proper document flow for each transaction."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive and everyone complains about the price."
"I know some of what we're currently paying. Most customers would say it's too high, but I don't have a comparison to know that."
"I give the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is expensive."
"The pricing is expensive and I would say it is below average for the value it provides based on the high cost."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"The pricing is high."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly. Additionally, support is an extra cost. The price of the solution could be reduced."
