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."
"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."
"I like the reporting feature as it allows me to generate reports independently without relying on a payroll consultant."
"It provides a well-centered database that is feature rich."
"The integration of the various modules is definitely the most valuable feature for us. Our clients being business-minded, which involves customers and suppliers."
"The GL and FAH modules have become real-deal players for an organization with many legacy systems that handle transactions and where there is a need to create accounting from these transactions."
"Oracle E-Business Suite improves forecast accuracy, reduces costs, and increases manufacturing capacity."
"E-Business Suite's best features are the standard process, the table dictionary, and the ability to work with the SQL language to correlate data."
"I like the automation and integration features of Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Really scalable business application suite with good technical support and straightforward patching."
"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."
 

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."
"One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system."
"I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation."
"It is on the expensive side."
"In SAP, when customization or work is done in an instance, it can be automatically copied to the production instance. Such automation would be a very good future addition to Oracle."
"The integration features of the tool on on-premises weren't that great, making it an area where improvements are required."
"We don't like Oracle EBS because it is very old. Nowadays, all the systems are on the cloud and web-based. With Oracle EBS, you need a huge setup before installing it. You need a lot of servers. There are a lot of problems and bugs in the system. We have to move from Oracle EBS to another system. In terms of improvements, it can have better training for end users and better support."
"Performance issues and handling of financial data could be improved."
"The user interface is not completely a web interface, it uses a lot of traffic which costs too much for a large number of users scattered throughout the country as they connect from their terminals to do their tasks."
 

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."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"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."
"USD $100,000 annually."
"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."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"It costs too much."
