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

"It handles all my financial functions, including the entire process of financial transactions"
"I like that one system covers everything."
"Oracle EBS adapts to our business rules, so we don't have to change them, whereas SAP is rigid. We need to change our business rules to implement SAP. Oracle's reporting is also excellent and it's easier for our technical team to customize the solution compared to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and other products."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle E-Business Suite are best practices, built-in processes, and easy configuration. Plenty of system functionality and customization."
"The order management is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, and budgeting."
"The on-premises solution has maturity in features but also flex fields."
"Oracle's technical support is better than others."
"The solution saves time and money."
"The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure."
"It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
"I use Oracle ERP Cloud for implementation support."
"The product has good functionality."
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules."
"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex."
"Needs more real-time visualizations, in terms of smarter dashboards and reporting competing with the speed of HANA."
"There are always some bugs and missing patches."
"It's difficult for some customers to understand in the beginning. A user really has to understand the processes."
"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."
"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."
"It would be nice to have more web services."
"The users feel that the product is not user-friendly."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"Improve support services in the new features roadmap."
"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."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex."
"If you go for the real-time process, the patch of work and the time to update the product will be too much."
"The tool must enable users to customize the reports."
"Oracle should offer a platter system rather than module-based licensing, similar to what SAP offers, allowing customers to implement only what they need without separate module licenses."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."
"The price of the solution is extremely high."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"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 tool’s price must be improved."
"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."
"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."
"It is too costly."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
