Featured Reviews

Prashant Shetty - PeerSpot reviewer

A tool to help manage global payroll that needs to improve the area of customization after its implementation
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. With ADP GlobalView Payroll, if I have to scale up the operations, one of the practical challenges I would like to highlight here is that in the post-implementation phase, if there are any new system enhancements or customization requests, it takes a lot of time to work with ADP to implement such changes. In the present time, every business has to operate in an agile manner, but I think that when it comes to the area revolving around change and control, there is a cost involved in ADP, and it comes as part of ADP's global contract. Most of the time, users may find that the prices quoted are not reasonable to justify the efforts involved from ADP's end. Most of the companies that fall under the category of Fortune 100 use ADP GlobalView Payroll, especially in the APAC region and Europe. The good thing with ADP GlobalView Payroll is that its system can be integrated with any HR system, like Workday or SAP SuccessFactors, since the integration is very seamless because many companies use global HR systems.

Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"ADP is a good solution if you want simple, static systems."
"If someone wants a good payroll system with a good presence in the APAC region and Europe, then without a doubt, ADP GlobalView Payroll falls at the top of the list of best tools."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is very customizable, with a lot of interfaces and processes that can be programmed in different ways."
"It's integrated, and for any ERP solution, that’s really where the value comes in; just one solution to cover a whole bunch of areas and having the integration."
"I would probably say that the biggest benefit for the company is just having all of the information under one umbrella, in one central location."
"If I want to manage many parts of my organization, such as finances, proceedings, or supply chain I would typically need to buy many different solutions. However, with Oracle E-Business Suite, it is all that is needed. This ERP system has many modules."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the ability to go in as a manager or as an individual and do everything in one place, for example, to add, change, or remove a goal."
"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"The most valuable feature for us is integrity in the sense that the General Ledger module is directly connected with our payables, and our Human Resources is connected with payroll, so it's one unit from HR's perspective, which is very efficient."
"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
 

Cons

"The portal where employees log in to check their weekly tax statements is called ADP ESS, an area where improvements are needed."
"With big companies, it takes a long time to run when it comes to the reporting part."
"Projects tend to take longer because ADP wants to manage everything."
"Performance issues and handling of financial data could be improved."
"I think that is a weakness that E-Business is really more like a module that connects things than a complete solution."
"The main challenge has been the annual maintenance cost."
"Since we are hosted, we can’t do rollouts ourselves. We have to schedule them. A lot of our issues have been with our patching, since our hosting partner always seems to break something, which is frustrating."
"With the growing use of mobile phones, we would appreciate sending notifications through SMS."
"We need more user-friendly fast formulas for all HRMS modules."
"Oracle is easy to implement at a new organization like ours, but it might be more challenging for an established organization with more rules and policies in place."
"They started on the mobile app and tablets, but still I see there are no short-forms used in EBS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe that ADP GlobalView Payroll is an expensive solution."
"If users consider the license of the solution, then it is an expensive tool."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"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."
