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.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

"The navigation is user-friendly and the management-related dashboards provide excellent functionality."
"The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure."

"Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer."
"The user interface is the best feature."

Cons

"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens."

"One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."
"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer."
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"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."
"It is too costly."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive."
