Eva Kimathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us to do spreadsheet reports on sales and quotations and provides donor reports for projects
The solution's initial setup is straightforward. The solution's deployment took three months. A business certification is needed and then the setup is possible. After that, there are months of follow-up. The full consolidation took around us three months. That happens in parallel to Microsoft training. The transition and complete deployment took six months and touching base with each unit was needed. We have seven modules deployed for the ERP. Seven people are needed for the testing and sign-off. But then, on the technical side, an email addressing the database administrator and the product owner is needed. The maintenance requirements are taken care of by the vendor. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's usability is straightforward."
"I have found the solution has many valuable features such as a user-friendly mobile platform, notification settings, and the ability to do many customizations."
"The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."
"Regarding the valuable features, the automation is inherent in all systems, including Oracle E-Business Suite. It helps in various business processes, depending on the company's behavior and requests."
"Has good dashboard and drill-down features."
"It can easily be developed into an application."
"Flexible to set up an organization with multiple locations."
"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"The solution is perfect for big industry and high-scale e-business transactions."
"Before, we used a lot of manpower in our operations, in the backend, but this is a service. We have eliminated some unnecessary processes."
"Technical support is good."
 

Cons

"The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution."
"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."
"A lot more automation can be brought into E-Business Suite."
"It should be made a little bit more user friendly. When I complete my implementation and hand it over to the clients or the person who will operate it on a day-to-day basis, they find it a little bit difficult because they are not from a highly qualified IT background. I want Oracle to make it a little bit more user friendly."
"Needs more real-time visualizations, in terms of smarter dashboards and reporting competing with the speed of HANA."
"We expect Oracle to go into continuous innovation mode and provide simplified integration solutions."
"There are always some bugs and missing patches."
"They should include database functionality."
"They started on the mobile app and tablets, but still I see there are no short-forms used in EBS."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"Licensing and costing of Oracle EBS is very complex. We recommend to use a system integrator during the negotiation process since Oracle sales representatives sometime do not know the actual minimum requirements and may oversell the necessary licenses through ignorance."
"The price of the solution is extremely high."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"The pricing is high."
"Oracle prices are better in Vietnam and more flexible. If we need to customize something in Oracle, it's very flexible and easy to customize."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
