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.
Sajid Farooq - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides seamless integration of different modules in one place
Certain add-ons like quality control, payroll, and HRMS are not part of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud. SAP S/4HANA Cloud doesn't provide a quality control module. SAP S/4HANA Cloud does not have its own payroll and HRMS system. The partners develop their own cloud and integrate with the solution. There are certain modules specific to some industries, and SAP S/4HANA Cloud doesn't deal with those modules. Every partner of SAP S/4HANA Cloud has to develop its own and then integrate and certify with that solution. We can't say that these modules are part of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. There is a little area of improvement that SAP has to opt for particular types of solutions like QC, payroll, and HRMS. The graphics of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are not user-friendly. They don't look like they belong to a branded solution that costs too much. The solution's user interface is not appealing or user-friendly. On a scale from one to ten, where one is bad and ten is good, I rate the solution's user interface a five out of ten. SAP S/4HANA Cloud has built-in reports that are hard-coated. We have to alter or modify built-in reports in different marking segments, but there are no options for that. We have to build complete reports from scratch, and SAP-developed reports are not used in the market. SAP should provide a tool for customizing its developed reports so that there should not be a process of reengineering or reinventing the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"I find the most valuable feature for the solution to be the company is always evolving by making the product better with continual updates."
"Oracle ERP delivers business processes."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"The scalability is very good."
"The best part of Oracle ERP Cloud is that everything can be found in a single place."
"The solution saves time and money."
"We were migrating from our in-house ERP solution to the solution, which was a more corporate-centralized solution. My role was to lead the team in mapping our processes with the central team. We aimed to find synergies and learn how to handle processes that weren't directly covered."
"SAP S/4HANA Cloud provides easy database access."
"The most valuable aspect of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is its ease of deployment and the reduced hassles of infrastructure support."
"The guidance SAP offers for implementing the product is clear and the online resources are great."
"Finance aspects of it and transportation management, asset management, and inventory management are valuable."
"SAP is an extremely powerful ERP. In my past company, we used it on a massive large scale, and it was amazing."
"The most valuable features of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are the detailed solution costing, integration, and built-in analytics."
"Makes it easier to reach and read data."
 

Cons

"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could benefit from improvements in project management, project execution, and project costing, especially for industries like construction."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
"Certain add-ons like quality control, payroll, and HRMS are not part of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud."
"It can be done within a few hours, but it also depends on the customer's requirements. If they want some changes, it may be done within one hour. But if there are large-scale changes, it may take one week or one month."
"They can improve the interface. It has a client-server kind of interface, which is kind of old."
"The solution is expensive. That can be an issue for clients."
"It's not easy to facilitate the solution between us and SAP, so we have had to leave those issues open."
"The scalability of the solution could improve."
"The pricing is way over any of the other ERPs, and the bank integrations are not perfect. There are a lot of costs for other implementations and integrations with Salesforce and other systems. Rather than being a fully-fledged system on its own like most of the other ERPs, it relies too much on developed integrations by the implementation partner."
"It is a complicated solution. So it should be easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"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 price of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is expensive. However, the benefits are good. We did not purchase any upgrades."
"The solution’s pricing is very high."
"The pricing is competitive with other products at that level in that category."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"This is a pricey solution that best serves large enterprises. Be sure to ensure that your company's requirements need to be fulfilled by SAP. There are many other ERP's that are cheaper yet highly functional. However, it is still cheaper than some of the competition (i.e. Oracle, ESD, etc.)"
"The license for S/4HANA is expensive, and the licensing structure is hard to understand. The admin license is something like 500 euros per user. Other ERP solutions allowed you to pick only the modules you need. The SAP ECC version requires you to take all the modules even if you are not using them."
"I feel the solution is expensive when it comes to what can be obtained with open source software."
"The pricing model can be complicated in certain scenarios."
