The sales and distribution modules are robust, and reliable, and seldom encounter issues
In GP, there are certain features like financial reporting that aren't part of the core GP package. Users might need to install additional components for these features. For example, there's a reseller product called Management Reporter, but many users would prefer to have the reporting capabilities integrated within GP itself, rather than relying on external tools. The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools. Additionally, you might be aware that in 2028, GP is expected to reach its end of life. Microsoft has already ceased selling GP to new customers. It's essentially the same product, but this marks the final year for GP's availability.

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

"I like that it's a complete ERP solution from production level to branch level."
"Technical support is very good."
"If anyone is familiar with Microsoft products then they can handle it easily."
"Dynamics AX provides a lot of functionality."
"The product's most valuable features are its day-to-day operations, Power BI-driven workspaces, and homepage."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is its full integration with Excel, allowing for cut and paste functionality between Excel and the system."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is material planning."
"The tool's most important capabilities are for retail and finance. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 doesn't have many integration capabilities, but Microsoft 365 has the most capabilities to integrate with any type of standalone software and has many more features."
"I find that the overall framework and database structure is quite comprehensive."
"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."
"Oracle has proprietary cloud technology and provides high levels of technology and security."
"The product is cloud-based and offers comprehensive, end-to-end functionality."
"Unlike traditional ERPs, where adding a column is customization, personalization is in the tool. OTBI is built-in, providing many pre-delivered reports and dashboards. It's cloud-based, so it's OpEx instead of CapEx. Oracle Integration Cloud Services offers pre-delivered APIs for easy integration with systems like payroll and Salesforce."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
 

Cons

"AX does take some time and maintenance."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX should include more connectors for third-party integrations. It should also include more features that AI models can govern."
"The general speed of the solution needs improvement."
"The product needs improvement in procurement planning. It also needs to include a production scheduling feature."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX has several areas that need improvement, particularly when compared to larger systems. It lacks the concept of month-end closing, which is essential for tight control over financial periods."
"The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools."
"The on-premises and desktop versions are not user-friendly."
"We do not have access to daily projections."
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"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."
"Improve support services in the new features roadmap."
"For economically weak countries, the solution's price appears expensive"
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"There are two main areas for improvement. First, the licensing and pricing model confuses customers, especially after going live. Different components like EPM, ERP, and OIC are charged differently. Second, the manufacturing functionality needs more maturity, especially for non-process-based manufacturing. We've raised this with Oracle, and they've acknowledged it. They might address it in future patches."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"The tool is very expensive in Romania."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is expensive. The tool costs 210 USD per user for one month."

"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"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."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"The solution is quite expensive."
