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."
"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."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer."
"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"Oracle has proprietary cloud technology and provides high levels of technology and security."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"The navigation is user-friendly and the management-related dashboards provide excellent functionality."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Their methodology of implementation is very rigid."
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex."
"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."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
"The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good."
"Improve support services in the new features roadmap."
"Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production."
