Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Oracle E-Business Suite is easy to use, and we have enough resources out in the market."
"It's highly customizable."
"The most valuable features are straight-through processing because we need to make sure that we have a good end-to-end process."
"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 on-premises solution has maturity in features but also flex fields."
"The solution is good for small businesses."
"I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments. It also has the decision and internet sale order, and my customers can correct the internet decision. It automatically converts to the internet order, and they don't need to create the entry object. They don't need to make a secondary ledger in the parent company and subsidiary. That's very helpful for internet decisions. If they get an order at the parent company, it automatically creates the sales system in the subsidiary."
"There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution."
"It is fairly easy to set up"
"We use this solution to manage financials, payroll and recruiting."
"The most helpful Workday features for our HR processes were in HCM, particularly in areas like talent, compensation, benefits, and learning."
"It saves a lot of time for onboarding processes."
"First time users, understanding accessibility and consolidated data is fairly easy. The solution improves productivity for users and reduces the need to switch between different tools."
"We like the fact that this solution is very user-friendly, with a straightforward user interface."
"The platform itself is very robust and I generally like the reporting and analytics capability."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of reporting."
"There are always some bugs and missing patches."
"Oracle has improved a lot because Oracle E-Business Suite is quite outdated. Oracle built the Oracle Fusion platform and it has many improved processes. We registered a few enhancements requests, but it's a very long bureaucratic process with Oracle. It doesn't make any sense to communicate with Oracle about what changes should be made to the system."
"They should have a nicer way to handle very high volumes of data because we deal with really high volumes, and sometimes, we end up with performance issues."
"The EBS Design to some extent is still monolithic."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"They should include database functionality."
"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."
"They started on the mobile app and tablets, but still I see there are no short-forms used in EBS."
"The solution has to work a lot on financial integrations, material management and CRM modules."
"The cost of Workday is certainly not inexpensive. It's very pricey."
"The user interface can be enhanced."
"It is very unique as compared to other tools in terms of the employee master data and how it is organized. That's why sometimes the information needs to sit in two different systems because, in Workday, it is organized differently. This issue is not related to benefits. It is more or so related to how you categorize employees. I don't think this is a problem that could be solved. Workday is aware of this. It is one of those kinds of situations that you just got to live with."
"Setting up reports can be a bit tricky."
"There is a lot of complexity in the configuration of this solution."
"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."
"The user interface could be modernized somehow."
