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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The accounting and inventory management features are valuable."
"Supply Chain Management is an excellent feature."
"All its features are valuable."
"The performance is good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is reporting."
"Dynamics AX provides a lot of functionality."
"It is easy to use, and it has a great UI. It has very well-structured modules. In terms of setup and configuration, they're logically placed, which makes it easy for any user to pick up information and learn more about the system, rather than just be plain key users of that business operating system."
"The stability is very good."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"The best part of Oracle ERP Cloud is that everything can be found in a single place."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"The entire solution operates online or on the cloud and this is a valuable feature of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good integration layer."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"It is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at."
 

Cons

"We experienced some challenges with the mobile apps due to the insufficient processing capacity to handle the workload effectively."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model and associated costs of this solution."
"The solution in general just needs a few quality improvements."
"There should be the capability for users to enhance the application by using a low-code or no-code product from the Microsoft family."
"The integration could improve for the future."
"The 2012 version is obsolete, and we don't have any support for it."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX could be improved by having more features available. We are going to 365 now, to use all the modules, because we found that there weren't many new things we were able to develop with AX. There were a lot of things that weren't available, so we are moving and integrating other things. The customization of upgrades should also be faster. We would also like to see more security features."
"It is being decommissioned."
"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."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
"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 data entry process is very time-consuming."
"Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing model is based on user subscription. The pricing needs to be reduced for the Indian and South Asian markets."
"The platform's price offering is good."
"We pay for licensing yearly to use Microsoft Dynamics AX."
"The product's pricing is expensive. The tool costs 210 USD per user for one month."
"It's too expensive for customers to take this on themselves. As partners, we will buy this on behalf of the customers and then charge this value for each project."
"It is not the cheapest solution, but it is also not the most expensive one. It's in between and is cheaper than SAP but more expensive than other local vendors. It is worth the cost."
"The product's license renewal cost could be better."
"The price of the solution could benefit from being less expensive."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"The price is average compared to other vendors. The licensing is on a yearly basis depending on the subscription pattern. There are no extra costs apart from licensing."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."

Right now, we are moving to a new ERP platform. It is in the cloud, and because of that, the cloud pushes updates every quarter, which could technically break our products. We are looking into an a...
What do you like most about Oracle ERP Cloud?
The user interface is the best feature.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Oracle ERP Cloud?

What needs improvement with Oracle ERP Cloud?
