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."
"The embedded AI is very beneficial for automations, and it provides a lot of help to customers."
"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."
"It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"The technical support services are good and can resolve most of our issues."
"The product is cloud-based and offers comprehensive, end-to-end functionality."
"The entire solution operates online or on the cloud and this is a valuable feature of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"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."
"For economically weak countries, the solution's price appears expensive"
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"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."
"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"It is too costly."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"In a developing country such as Bangladesh, Oracle ERP Cloud is expensive compared to on-premise solutions, so the turnover is very low. Customers become more comfortable using on-premise services because of the high subscription costs of Oracle ERP Cloud."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
