Senior Law Enforcement Executive at a comms service provider with 201-500 employees
Offers inventory management, basic ERP functions but outdated interface
The interface looks a bit outdated. Epicor acquired iScala, which was originally developed in Sweden. I'm unsure if their intention is to eventually replace iScala with their primary Epicor ERP or continue developing iScala. Initially, it seemed they might replace it, but it appears iScala will remain a separate product.

Incharge Corporate Accounts & ERP System at General Pharmaceuticals Limited.
Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The accounting, purchasing, and basic ERP functions work well. But they are a little bit older, but they work for us. The inventory management is good and necessary for any company that manages stock for production or services."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it gives us the ability to process the requisitions from our end users quickly, which is tied into all of our financials."
"I especially like E-Business Suite's data management functionality - I would say it provides perfect data management inside the app."
"It's out there in the market and the suite of products seem to cater really well to the business needs of our organization."
"As the brand name says, Enterprise Resource Planning, and that's all, it offers integration for all business areas in one database."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a scalable solution."
"The solution's very scalable, being used by organizations from very small businesses to multi-billion dollar organizations."
"The customization and integration features are also great, it's the main thing you look for in a suite."
"The ability to streamline all of our information is the most valuable feature for us."
 

Cons

"We're facing challenges with iScala in the public sector, specifically healthcare. The system doesn't have sufficient support for the complexities of managing payments for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff."
"They should include database functionality."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Since we are hosted, we can’t do rollouts ourselves. We have to schedule them. A lot of our issues have been with our patching, since our hosting partner always seems to break something, which is frustrating."
"It's very dependent on integration with other products,."
"It is not a good idea to use this old system nowadays. It is deprecated. Choose more modern system."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"We've found that technical support has been challenging as they are not always the most forthcoming with information nor are they the most highly-trained techs when you open SRs."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to local ERP solutions, it's on the higher side."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
