James Balbach - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizes our enterprise-wide functions but could benefit from cloud migration
We have dealt with customer service, and it was awful. For a system this size, it felt like we were merely buying software from them. They weren't really partnered with us on it. Reporting bugs and getting feedback, as well as having engineers work on issues, was very transactional. There was no real ownership on Oracle's part. During several support cases, it became difficult to determine ownership at Oracle and get status updates. The on-premises Oracle support is not great in my experience, and I think this is true in the industry. We've read about their software as a solution, and theoretically, their SaaS portal support is a lot better.

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

"Everyone in the company is quite used to the Oracle functionality."
"Finance, HRMS, and payroll are all great, and Oracle EBS is fantastic."
"The most valuable features are the financial-related capabilities."
"Great finance modules and customization."
"The supplier invoice payment process is very easy and is integrated from the requisition to the payment (and to creating the asset)."
"The solution is good for small businesses."
"I think one of the best use cases is centralizing supplier and customer data into our finance system. We identified there were so many duplicate suppliers and customers and so a lot of time was spent reporting."
"The procure-to-pay is core to our business and relevant to us."
"The product is cloud-based and offers comprehensive, end-to-end functionality."
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"The entire solution operates online or on the cloud and this is a valuable feature of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"It provides our management a real-time view of operations."
"The product has good functionality."
"The navigation is user-friendly and the management-related dashboards provide excellent functionality."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more automation."
"In the future, Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by having a better UI. Competitors are providing much better interfaces."
"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."
"We don't like Oracle EBS because it is very old. Nowadays, all the systems are on the cloud and web-based. With Oracle EBS, you need a huge setup before installing it. You need a lot of servers. There are a lot of problems and bugs in the system. We have to move from Oracle EBS to another system. In terms of improvements, it can have better training for end users and better support."
"Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago."
"Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates."
"The user interface could be better. It's not good because they made their interface all in one, and my customers don't want to use it. I have to customize the interface and personalize it to hide some fields on the screen. It has lots of information on the screen, and the user can't easily navigate it. It's very difficult to use. I think that Oracle should have something like best practices. They need to provide some patches to simplify the interface based on the industry niche. Because now we see everything on the same screen, but the users don't need all that information. It's complicated to use for end-users, and we have to spend more time training them. In the next release, I think they should implement most of the features in the mobile app. It should be better. Oracle didn't update their mobile application for a very long time. Connecting the mobile application is complicated."
"The solution needs to be updated with modern technology as it currently runs on the Java platform, JWE, which is obsolete and requires you to need an API supported browser."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"In terms of areas for improvement, there are still a lot of other features that need to be incorporated into the future releases of Oracle ERP Cloud. We're hoping those would come soon because they're available in other ERP systems. For example, we used to have a lot of AME customizations in the BPM, but now we have a very limited scope, so it would be great if we could extend our scope. Currently, we are working with product teams to get through some of those solutions, and how we could implement them, so we have some workarounds to deal with, but we still have a long road ahead."
"Their methodology of implementation is very rigid."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"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."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."
"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"It is too costly."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
