A fusion product that excels in multiple facets
The initial setup is easy. It has made life easier compared to other ERPs in the market. Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP offers features like spreadsheet loaders and integration tools that facilitate data migration from legacy systems to the new ERP version. These tools provide a plug-and-play interface, simplifying data input for functional and technical personnel. Earlier, It was a day-to-day job of inserting the data; migration was complex, and keeping track was difficult. Migration and tracking are streamlined with Fusion Cloud ERP, and tasks such as importing and exporting data are more straightforward. I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is complex and ten is easy. The availability of connectivity tools, learning resources, and Oracle MetaLink support greatly aids users during implementation. The supportive community, including the Oracle ERP community, provides valuable assistance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"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."
"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
"The scalability is very good."
"The entire solution operates online or on the cloud and this is a valuable feature of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer."
"The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"The user interface is the best feature."
 

Cons

"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."
"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 an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"For economically weak countries, the solution's price appears expensive"
"The solution could benefit from improvements in project management, project execution, and project costing, especially for industries like construction."
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"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 solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The price is average compared to other vendors. The licensing is on a yearly basis depending on the subscription pattern. There are no extra costs apart from licensing."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
