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.
Muhammad Umair Siddiqui - PeerSpot reviewer
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 one system covers everything."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"ERP is a valuable feature of this product."
"The GL and FAH modules have become real-deal players for an organization with many legacy systems that handle transactions and where there is a need to create accounting from these transactions."
"It is quite stable."
"You can group them into the BIs, which is business intelligence. You get your own key performance indicators and build your own reports or you could have your own screens, and it changes in real time."
"Great finance modules and customization."
"Order to cash and procure to pay process: They are valuable features because of their integration and flexibility."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP has integrated the best features from various sources. For instance, it incorporates the strengths of HCM from PeopleSoft, PPM from another source and CRM from Salesforce."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer."
"The user interface is the best feature."
"The product has good functionality."
"The entire solution operates online or on the cloud and this is a valuable feature of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."
"The technical support services are good and can resolve most of our issues."
 

Cons

"There are some enhancements in the process itself that is needed in the application. In the cloud version, they covered some of these areas and requirements but the on-premise version has to catch up."
"The implementation can take quite a bit of time."
"We need more user-friendly fast formulas for all HRMS modules."
"Oracle is not keeping up on development of the on-premises version of this product as they are concentrating on cloud solutions."
"The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing 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."
"Additional improvements could include better healthcare management functionalities, such as specialized modules for OPD and IPD for patients."
"A downside of Oracle E-Business Suite is its interface because it's less user-friendly than the latest cloud solutions. As an organization, Oracle now has more interest in cloud applications, so nowadays, it doesn't focus much on Oracle E-Business Suite, an on-premises solution, so this is another downside."
"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."
"For economically weak countries, the solution's price appears expensive"
"The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"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."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"The solution could benefit from improvements in project management, project execution, and project costing, especially for industries like construction."
"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

"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"Oracle prices are better in Vietnam and more flexible. If we need to customize something in Oracle, it's very flexible and easy to customize."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"In a developing country such as Bangladesh, Oracle ERP Cloud is expensive compared to on-premise solutions, so the turnover is very low. Customers become more comfortable using on-premise services because of the high subscription costs of Oracle ERP Cloud."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is reasonable and recommended for medium-sized enterprises. It might be a bit expensive for smaller businesses, but it is a good product if they have sufficient users."
"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."
"It is too costly."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
