Featured Reviews

Abdul-Rauf - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies payroll processing and reduces the need for extensive marketing efforts while providing scalability, compliance, and excellent stability
I believe there is room for enhancement in the scope of services. We encountered challenges at times in clearly defining it, particularly because the firewall domain is extensive and demands localization for this service. Consequently, there is occasional confusion regarding whether a service falls under the standard category or is considered an add-on. I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension.
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

"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."
"They are very strong in terms of having a central regional system. A regional person can see and monitor the calendar for each different country."
"The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"Flexible to set up an organization with multiple locations."
"This is a world-class application that includes a lot of business processes from other ERPs that Oracle has acquired."
"The solution has other core processes that can be implemented with customers according to their needs."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle E-Business Suite are best practices, built-in processes, and easy configuration. Plenty of system functionality and customization."
"The new Subledger Accounting feature is very strong."
"Before, we used a lot of manpower in our operations, in the backend, but this is a service. We have eliminated some unnecessary processes."
"The most valuable features of Oracle E-Business Suite are all the 15 to 20 modules. We use them on a day-to-day basis."
"It was easy to set up the product."
 

Cons

"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"They could improve the service relationship manager (SRM), because they have an SRM which is not familiar with Simple."
"I think there is a need for a deeper level of comprehension."
"Not user friendly."
"The main challenge has been the annual maintenance cost."
"Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing."
"There are some cycles in HR that are not straightforward."
"In Oracle E-Business Suite, there should be a proper document flow for each transaction."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."
"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly. Additionally, support is an extra cost. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"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."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
