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

"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"The on-premise is very similar to the cloud version."
"Great finance modules and customization."
"It is quite stable."
"Oracle is a decent, robust solution that has been tested and used for many years. It can do everything."
"It is a solution for GFMIS (Governmental Fiscal Management Information Systems)."
"The most valuable features of Oracle E-Business Suite are all the 15 to 20 modules. We use them on a day-to-day basis."
"The implementation of Oracle E-Business Suite is easy."
"The embedded AI is very beneficial for automations, and it provides a lot of help to customers."
"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."
"The best part of Oracle ERP Cloud is that everything can be found in a single place."
"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."
"The embedded AI is very beneficial for automations, and it provides a lot of help to customers."
"The solution is highly configurable"
"It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
 

Cons

"The integration features of the tool on on-premises weren't that great, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It should be made a little bit more user friendly. When I complete my implementation and hand it over to the clients or the person who will operate it on a day-to-day basis, they find it a little bit difficult because they are not from a highly qualified IT background. I want Oracle to make it a little bit more user friendly."
"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based."
"The on-premises version of this solution can be difficult to expand, compared to its cloud version. The on-premises version is also more limited, versus the cloud version that has a lot of improvements. Maintaining this solution is also too costly."
"Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing."
"Sometimes I have issues with the performance tuning."
"The users feel that the product is not user-friendly."
"The solution should implement improvements with AI technology. Specifically, in the realm of ERP tools, this can be particularly beneficial, not only for cloud-based systems but for all types of tools. Additionally, a highly desirable feature is the ability to work offline."
"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."
"Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities."
"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
"If you go for the real-time process, the patch of work and the time to update the product will be too much."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"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."
"It costs too much."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"Products concerning areas like CRM and ERP should provide value at lesser costs to customers, especially if you consider that the initial cost of implementation is high."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"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."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"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."
"It is too costly."
"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."
