Presents all information in one place and automates some of our manual processes
This product is used by more than 50 colleges in our state and it is purchased by the government. The system office does the testing and pushes out the patches to us, so everything has been testing. Even if there is any customization that needs to be done, it happens before it comes to us. As such, I haven't had to contact technical support myself.
Muhammad Umair Siddiqui - PeerSpot reviewer
AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be 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 that all of the student information is in one place."
"I find that the overall framework and database structure is quite comprehensive."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"It offers real-time analytics through Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence, which helps build analytical reports on the data model. It also has Fusion Intelligence, a data warehouse integrated with the database that offers real-time data integration and prebuilt analytical reporting. These are standard features of the product."
"The solution is highly configurable"
"Unlike traditional ERPs, where adding a column is customization, personalization is in the tool. OTBI is built-in, providing many pre-delivered reports and dashboards. It's cloud-based, so it's OpEx instead of CapEx. Oracle Integration Cloud Services offers pre-delivered APIs for easy integration with systems like payroll and Salesforce."
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure."
"What's most valuable in Oracle ERP Cloud is that it's one of the largest ERPs available in the market and it has a lot of customization features. It also has a lot of flexibility and integration options that work with other applications. Many of the customers also migrate to the cloud, so Oracle ERP Cloud is a preferred solution."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Their methodology of implementation is very rigid."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"The tool must enable users to customize the reports."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
"We did face some challenges during the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. Certain requirements were not met by the standard functionality, so we had to customize and build custom applications on top of the solution. But overall, I think it stacks up well as a standard product."
"The solution should implement improvements with AI technology. Specifically, in the realm of ERP tools, this can be particularly beneficial, not only for cloud-based systems but for all types of tools. Additionally, a highly desirable feature is the ability to work offline."
"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"It is too costly."
