Cons

More Epicor ERP Cons →

"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.""Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined.""There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear.""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 The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based.""The database is outdated and quite rigid.""Improve support services in the new features roadmap.""The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved.""The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good."

    Why Customers Choose Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP:

  • Predict, detect, and act on new situations

    No one likes big deltas between forecasts and actuals. Most models though are too limited, relying on sample datasets or just gut feel. Oracle Cloud ERP introduces machine-learning to predictive planning and forecasting so you can utilize broader datasets, reveal hidden bias, uncover significant deviations, and speed your overall response time.

  • Automate and eliminate your manual business processes

    Spend less time compiling data and more time understanding what it tells you. Whether preparing your narrative for the street or assessing potential M&A activity, Oracle Cloud ERP gives your team more time for strategic work by automating the most time-consuming, mundane business processes. With AI, up to 96% of transactions can be automated.

  • Simplify and speed everyday work

    Oracle’s AI-powered digital assistant simplifies and speeds common tasks, allowing you to ask simple questions like “what’s the status of my open purchase requisitions?” and “what reconciliations are due today?” Personalized tasks like invoices or over-budget notifications are delivered to you proactively, so approvals move faster too.

  • Launch new business models, faster

    Staying ahead of customer trends and emerging competitors gets harder every day. With Oracle cloud ERP, it's easier to identify and launch new business models—and monitor results in real time so you can constantly refine your approach. Paired with machine learning insights like customer churn, you'll predict and avoid problems before they can do harm.
