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 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."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP has integrated the best features from various sources. For instance, it incorporates the strengths of HCM from PeopleSoft, PPM from another source and CRM from Salesforce."
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"It provides our management a real-time view of operations."
"The embedded AI is very beneficial for automations, and it provides a lot of help to customers."
"Oracle has proprietary cloud technology and provides high levels of technology and security."
"The technical support services are good and can resolve most of our issues."
"The solution saves time and money."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"We have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based."
"The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good."
"Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities."
"One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."
"It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens."
"I would like to improve the tool’s budgeting and reporting. I know that Oracle is working on the tool’s analytics part so I expect the analytical feature in its future releases."
"The solution could benefit from improvements in project management, project execution, and project costing, especially for industries like construction."
