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."
"It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
"Oracle has proprietary cloud technology and provides high levels of technology and security."
"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"The solution saves time and money."
"Oracle ERP delivers business processes."
"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."
"The scalability is very good."
"It provides our management a real-time view of operations."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement."
"Their methodology of implementation is very rigid."
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex."
"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."
"The tool is very expensive in Romania."
"It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"In terms of areas for improvement, there are still a lot of other features that need to be incorporated into the future releases of Oracle ERP Cloud. We're hoping those would come soon because they're available in other ERP systems. For example, we used to have a lot of AME customizations in the BPM, but now we have a very limited scope, so it would be great if we could extend our scope. Currently, we are working with product teams to get through some of those solutions, and how we could implement them, so we have some workarounds to deal with, but we still have a long road ahead."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
