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. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is great for production planning because everything is out of the box. It smoothly handles the process from engineering to ERP, including version management and subcontracting. These features aren't in NetSuite."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"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."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"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."
"The user interface is the best feature."
"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."
"I find the most valuable feature for the solution to be the company is always evolving by making the product better with continual updates."
"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
"What's most valuable in Oracle ERP Cloud is that it's one of the largest ERPs available in the market and it has a lot of customization features. It also has a lot of flexibility and integration options that work with other applications. Many of the customers also migrate to the cloud, so Oracle ERP Cloud is a preferred solution."
"It is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at."
"It offers real-time analytics through Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence, which helps build analytical reports on the data model. It also has Fusion Intelligence, a data warehouse integrated with the database that offers real-time data integration and prebuilt analytical reporting. These are standard features of the product."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
 

Cons

"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."

"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"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."
"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."
"Improve support services in the new features roadmap."
"We have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."

"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
