Cons

More Infor CloudSuite Cons →

"Oracle E-Business Suite could improve the tables. When we remove some of them sometimes they cloud the modules into one. It becomes a little difficult to segregate.""Movement to the cloud should be supported. Product support still needs to be improved.""E-Business Suite's user experience and interface could be improved.""The implementation took a long time but it was for many reasons. However, Oracle made sure that the solution and systems were up and running.""I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation.""I would say the integration needs improvement. Oracle needs to work on the integration layer to make the solution much more robust and modern.""It is still a little outdated as far as what we consider a twenty-first century software. You're still using Oracle forms, that sort of thing.""Sometimes I have issues with the performance tuning."

    Reviews from Real Users:

    Kopano R., Freelancer at a tech services company, says, “What I found most valuable in Oracle E-Business Suite is the patching because it is straightforward. As long as you follow Oracle's best practices, you are able to finish the task of patching without a problem. I like that it's also easy to add products, e.g. if you want to add on financials, you can, or if you don't have financials, you can expand on that. I like that Oracle E-Business Suite is really scalable.”

    Mohammed G., Senior Oracle Application Consultant at a comms service provider, writes, “Oracle E-Business Suite consists of a lot of streams, such as financial and HR processes of the enterprise companies. We are using most of the Oracle financial modules, and we have an Oracle stream, FI procurement stream, and HR streams, which have a lot of applications. Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good. “
