A fusion product that excels in multiple facets
The initial setup is easy. It has made life easier compared to other ERPs in the market. Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP offers features like spreadsheet loaders and integration tools that facilitate data migration from legacy systems to the new ERP version. These tools provide a plug-and-play interface, simplifying data input for functional and technical personnel. Earlier, It was a day-to-day job of inserting the data; migration was complex, and keeping track was difficult. Migration and tracking are streamlined with Fusion Cloud ERP, and tasks such as importing and exporting data are more straightforward. I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is complex and ten is easy. The availability of connectivity tools, learning resources, and Oracle MetaLink support greatly aids users during implementation. The supportive community, including the Oracle ERP community, provides valuable assistance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"The most valuable features of Epicor ERP are ease of use, powerful API, and comprehensive integration. It is a one-vendor solution, where other vendors need other software systems from multiple vendors."
"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer."
"The solution saves time and money."
"The solution is highly configurable"
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"Oracle has proprietary cloud technology and provides high levels of technology and security."
"The navigation is user-friendly and the management-related dashboards provide excellent functionality."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement."
"Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production."
"We did face some challenges during the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. Certain requirements were not met by the standard functionality, so we had to customize and build custom applications on top of the solution. But overall, I think it stacks up well as a standard product."
"I would like to improve the tool’s budgeting and reporting. I know that Oracle is working on the tool’s analytics part so I expect the analytical feature in its future releases."
"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"The tool is very expensive in Romania."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"The price of the solution is expensive. There are additional costs associated with this particular case that must be taken into consideration when calculating the overall expense. These costs may include but are not limited to, additional materials, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the course of the project. It is important to note that these additional costs may exceed the initial pricing estimate."
"In a developing country such as Bangladesh, Oracle ERP Cloud is expensive compared to on-premise solutions, so the turnover is very low. Customers become more comfortable using on-premise services because of the high subscription costs of Oracle ERP Cloud."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
