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

"The most valuable feature was that everything was in one system."
"The advantage was that ADP Streamline was inherently designed to serve as a marketing engine for the company."
"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."
"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is flexible. Its rich functionality can work in any client environment or business."
"Oracle E-Business Suite improves forecast accuracy, reduces costs, and increases manufacturing capacity."
"Payroll and online benefits enrollment"
"Financials, which are essential to all ERPs, and manufacturing and sales models are among the most valuable features. The specific features implemented depend on the company's needs."
"It is scalable."
"The financial module has excellent features that many find valuable, while the HCM module is also highly regarded."
"It is quite stable."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good."
 

Cons

"Having more clear guidance on design and training would be beneficial."
"The UI could be improved to be a bit more modern or trendy because it looks old-fashioned compared to other systems."
"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."
"The users feel that the product is not user-friendly."
"The deployment of the Oracle E-Business Suite was simple. I have done many deployments and I find it simple, but for others, it might not be easy."
"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"Earlier when our organization was small they chose Oracle because in the telecommunication industry everybody was using Oracle. Our company has grown to a size where our particularly billing phase has created some challenges and now we are looking at alternate solutions. There is not a billing engine or module that you can buy from Oracle that can be added to this EBS solution to fix our problem. They should add a billing module or engine to the solution."
"User interface is outdated and not user friendly."
"We would like to see some automation in this solution."
"Reporting is a big area for improvement. It needs to provide the ability to extract data from the suite. Oracle has also been making a great effort to make E-Business Suite more user-friendly but there are still areas where a focus on User Experience would help."
"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The amount we pay is not low, and it is not high. It is average."
"Our company had a standardized pricing model based on the number of employees."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"Pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is seven out of ten. You must pay extra for maintenance and technical support, apart from standard license fees."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"USD $100,000 annually."
