Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP and SAP Business ByDesign compete in the ERP software category. Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP appears to have an edge in financial management with excellent security and integration capabilities.

Features: Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is known for its strong financial management capabilities, seamless cloud integration, and robust security features. SAP Business ByDesign stands out for its real-time analytics, ease of implementation, and user-friendly design.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP requires better mobile interfaces, enhanced support for complex manufacturing, and improved customer service. SAP Business ByDesign could benefit from better customization options, centralized system modules, and improved integration flexibility.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is available on public and hybrid cloud models, offering flexible deployment but encountering integration and support complexities. SAP Business ByDesign is suited for smaller enterprises with easier deployment but lacks advanced enterprise features compared to Oracle.

Senior Project Lead at Sierra-Cedar

A fusion product that excels in multiple facets

The initial setup is easy. It has made life easier compared to other ERPs in the market. Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP offers features like spreadsheet loaders and integration tools that facilitate data migration from legacy systems to the new ERP version. These tools provide a plug-and-play interface, simplifying data input for functional and technical personnel. Earlier, It was a day-to-day job of inserting the data; migration was complex, and keeping track was difficult. Migration and tracking are streamlined with Fusion Cloud ERP, and tasks such as importing and exporting data are more straightforward. I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is complex and ten is easy. The availability of connectivity tools, learning resources, and Oracle MetaLink support greatly aids users during implementation. The supportive community, including the Oracle ERP community, provides valuable assistance.

Senior SAP Technical Consultant at Tallimax Consultancy

Provides custom versions of reports personalized for users

For AI initiatives, you need to purchase a separate AI license to integrate with SAP Business ByDesign. I'd recommend SAP Business ByDesign for large companies that want to check data graphically, especially for monthly income, expenses, and taxes in the millions or trillions. Overall, for large-scale companies, I'd rate it ten out of ten.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The technical support services are good and can resolve most of our issues."

"The solution saves time and money."

"The user interface is the best feature."

"It is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at."

"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."

"The product is cloud-based and offers comprehensive, end-to-end functionality."

"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."

"It offers real-time analytics through Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence, which helps build analytical reports on the data model. It also has Fusion Intelligence, a data warehouse integrated with the database that offers real-time data integration and prebuilt analytical reporting. These are standard features of the product."

More Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP pros

"The most valuable features of SAP Business ByDesign are customer invoicing and cost and revenue, from which I get the data for my project reports."

"I like its modern approach. It is very modern and new technology."

"The standard system is stable."

"I have found the consolidation of the business and group reports very useful. There is plenty of features and the manufacturing and finance aspect of the solution are strong."

"When we were using it, we did see an immediate benefit, especially in the inventory on consignment issue. We were a biotech pre-revenue company and most of our manufacturing was outsourced. So being able to track inventory within the system without creating a financial impact was very key for us."

"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."

"The most valuable feature is the feature called Financial Closing Cockpit. This feature allows us to monitor our accounting and processing closely."

"I like the tool’s customization."

More SAP Business ByDesign pros

Cons

"Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer."

"The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good."

"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."

"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."

"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."

"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."

"Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined."

"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."

More Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP cons

"The payroll module of the solution could improve."

"The solution does not support customization for forms and reports. It's not flexible in case you need some enhancements in business processes."

"SAP Business ByDesign is a very vast product, but it has to be a bit more centralized. All the models need to be more centralized for a better experience."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting capability. To use it properly, you need intensive IT support. You cannot write your own reports."

"With SAP S/4HANA, you can design your release strategy and modify it to include as many people as possible, which is missing in SAP Business ByDesign."

"Scalability is difficult."

"ByDesign could be improved by making screen modifications easier."

"The Arabic localization is neglected. It should have an Arabic interface. It lacks Arabic translation or support from right to left."

More SAP Business ByDesign cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."

"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is quite expensive."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"

"The tool’s price must be improved."

"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."

More Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP pricing and cost advice

"The cost starts anywhere between fifty thousand dollars and up depending on the number of licenses."

"The pricing depends on company size. It's cheaper for small companies and more expensive for large ones."

"We have to pay yearly."

"Everything is included in the licensing cost of the solution. However, they use a per-user model for additional charges."

"The tool’s subscription is yearly. There is no flat pricing involved and everything has a range. Pricing depends on the functionality that you would use. You need to also pay for the additional hosting and maintenance costs."

"The price of the solution could be better. They have to come up with a new strategy."

"The price of SAP Business ByDesign is less expensive than SAP S/4HANA. However, the price is on par with other similar competitors, such as Microsoft."

"The tool’s pricing is expensive."
