AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job.

Cons

"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."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."

"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"Oracle should offer a platter system rather than module-based licensing, similar to what SAP offers, allowing customers to implement only what they need without separate module licenses."
"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"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."

"For economically weak countries, the solution's price appears expensive"
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
