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.

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

"Decent support, large installed base, adequate plus training."
"Using Ellucian means that we have more automated processes, and don't have to do everything manually."
"I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good integration layer."
"It is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at."
"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."
"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"I really like the cloud feature; you can save lots of costs in comparison with an in-house solution, the solution is scalable and very stable, and you don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure or the system backup."
"I use Oracle ERP Cloud for implementation support."
"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"It is expensive and uses an antiquated database (Unidata) that requires a specialized set of technical skills in staff."
"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."
"Oracle should offer a platter system rather than module-based licensing, similar to what SAP offers, allowing customers to implement only what they need without separate module licenses."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"Initial setup is complex. We hired an outside consultant to do the implementation for us."
"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 tool is very expensive in Romania."
"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
"There are two main areas for improvement. First, the licensing and pricing model confuses customers, especially after going live. Different components like EPM, ERP, and OIC are charged differently. Second, the manufacturing functionality needs more maturity, especially for non-process-based manufacturing. We've raised this with Oracle, and they've acknowledged it. They might address it in future patches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is reasonable and recommended for medium-sized enterprises. It might be a bit expensive for smaller businesses, but it is a good product if they have sufficient users."
"The price of the solution is expensive. There are additional costs associated with this particular case that must be taken into consideration when calculating the overall expense. These costs may include but are not limited to, additional materials, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the course of the project. It is important to note that these additional costs may exceed the initial pricing estimate."
