Featured Reviews

SujayRao - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers insights into team performance, with ready-made reports and GenAI features that assist in creating reports
Freshdesk's major drawback is its limitation in integrating tools for App Store and Play Store reviews, and social channels like Twitter, which come with additional costs. Despite having third-party integration options, these features should be inherently available in the tool without additional expenses. Integration with social media and review platforms should be built-in.
MahaboobPasha - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.
