Sentiment score

Oracle E-Business Suite enhances productivity, reduces costs, and delivers quick ROI through integration and automation, saving users time and money.
Sentiment score
2.0

I have definitely seen ROI from Oracle E-Business Suite in terms of cost savings and time savings.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.5
Anaplan's customer support is praised for quick, effective issue resolution, reliable service, and valued resources despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
4.4
Oracle E-Business Suite support praised for knowledge but criticized for inconsistent response times and variable interaction quality.
Sentiment score
5.9
SAP Business One support relies on partners, with mixed experiences; partner choice significantly impacts response times and satisfaction.
The technical support from Anaplan is amazing, with a dedicated team to assist in case of any issues.
Reporting bugs and getting feedback, as well as having engineers work on issues, was very transactional.
The previous user left the company without sharing their password, so at that time I need to log those particular issues or reset the password; the facility is not available in the current system, and I have to raise tickets, waiting for updated passwords, which is very critical.
When the system or solution has a failure unrelated to the database, they become lost.
Through the SAP portal, we can access direct support, which includes notes and a massive community for resources.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Anaplan offers scalable solutions for large projects, integrating various systems, but costs can rise with increased usage.
Sentiment score
7.5
Oracle E-Business Suite offers scalability and adaptability, though challenges may arise with complex environments and customization demands.
Sentiment score
7.7
SAP Business One is scalable, supporting varied company sizes, integrates well, but needs better stability and customization.
Anaplan had issues before, but the new Polaris engine solves them.
I would say it's fairly easy to scale.
The solution has good scalability, which I would rate around eight out of ten.
I have more experience with highly scalable technologies like Databricks.
SAP Business One is not very scalable, as it is aimed at medium to small-scale industries.
If your company is looking for an ERP to run end-to-end business, this is the solution.
The scalability of SAP Business One is very high.

Sentiment score
7.7
Anaplan offers high stability and reliability with in-memory computing, despite minor downtimes and performance issues from model design.
Sentiment score
7.4
Oracle E-Business Suite is reliable, with minimal downtime, effective patching, and strong vendor support contributing to user satisfaction.
Sentiment score
7.7
SAP Business One is praised for its stability, reliability, and high client satisfaction, especially among small to medium businesses.
The system is very stable.
I rate the stability of SAP Business One an eight out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Anaplan faces challenges in model efficiency, integration, pricing, and user support while needing AI enhancements and improved usability.
Oracle E-Business Suite needs UI updates, better integration, improved reporting, and enhanced usability for diverse sector needs.
SAP Business One needs improvements in usability, integration, scalability, and features including HR, analytics, customization, and blockchain.
Advanced planning with AI, machine learning, and related plugins would be great to see in the future.
I should be able to customize the screen or application without needing technical support.
We are moving to the cloud and are looking at the cloud version of it for the cost of ownership and a more modernized integrated platform.
While Oracle has introduced the command center and ECC dashboard, the ECC still has very limited features and functionality.
The solution lacks scalability as it targets medium to small-scale industries.
They also need to plan for integrating a small HR or payroll module.
Costing audits are required, but this is not available in SAP Business One.
 

Setup Cost

Anaplan's pricing is premium yet justified, with costs escalating by features and complexity, transparency in pricing is needed.
Oracle E-Business Suite is costly and complex, requiring careful licensing evaluation; valued for functionality despite high fees.
SAP Business One is cost-effective for SMEs, offering competitive licensing and maintenance fees with good value compared to other ERPs.
Currently, Anaplan is more expensive compared to other tools.
The pricing is slightly on the premium side, but I do not have detailed knowledge about the exact licensing structure.
Oracle pricing is comparatively high to other vendors.
Each license costs a significant amount.
It is expensive compared to other modules or ERPs.
 

Valuable Features

Anaplan offers user-friendly, real-time planning with dashboards, flexibility, and integration, enhancing collaboration and reducing manual data tasks.
Oracle E-Business Suite streamlines operations with integration, internationalization, mobile support, and automation, enhancing decision-making and efficiency.
SAP Business One is valued in Turkey for diverse features and industry-specific solutions, especially in automotive and small businesses.
Anaplan's connected planning feature is its most valuable aspect, allowing for seamless financial planning, HR planning, and updates.
Oracle E-Business Suite provides standard APIs for integrating with custom applications.
It allows us to normalize all of our systems into a single database.
Oracle E-Business Suite provides everything needed in an ERP.
The general ledger, balance sheet, trial balance, cash flow statement, and all other reports are updated simultaneously.
Regarding reporting capabilities, SAP Business One provides in-built reports and allows us to use crystal reports, which we can customize and develop our own reports alongside running SQL queries with the query generator to create SQL reports.
One of the biggest advantages of SAP Business One, especially in the public cloud, is that many features are standardized, which reduces the need for customization.

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.
Hatem Mohamed Nageeb Salama - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides efficiency for small businesses, but requires costly add-ons for broader capabilities
I am currently using SAP products but not primarily selling SAP. Regarding real-time data processing capabilities, it is partially helpful for decision-making. It has built-in capability for real-time data, but it's not interactive data analytics. People need another solution such as Power BI to be integrated to get real-time data with interactive analytics. When it comes to customizing reporting in SAP Business One, it has the capability to customize reports via SAP Crystal Reports. It has a good amount of reports, but for each business, you need to understand exactly what the customer needs to customize their reports. The solution includes a mobile app to access key business information, though it is a very weak mobile app. The main benefit SAP Business One provides to users is ease of access. It's very good to present to customers, both from the interface and capabilities perspective. It's suitable for small to medium companies, making the buy-in for the solution very good. The pricing for SAP Business One is very competitive. Overall, SAP Business One is a very good solution for small to medium businesses. If your company is looking for an ERP to run end-to-end business, this is the solution. You need specific add-ons to run in specific industries, but it's approximately 70% good for most small to medium companies. My overall rating for SAP Business One is 7 out of 10.
