Has a simple interface, is easy to use, and has good stability
It's really easy to use and has a simple interface.  The networking could use improvement.  One to three years. Stability is good.  Scalability is just fine. We have fifty users, most of them are admin roles.  Their technical support is very good. They are very helpful. The initial setup was…

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

"Technical side: The level of detail (building blocks) in configuration (setup) makes it scalable and secure on a functional level, as well as on a data level."
"Poor user experience."
"Do it."
"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."
"The advanced scheduler helps to ensure proper staffing."
"The flexibility in configuration is this product’s most valuable feature."
"I especially like E-Business Suite's data management functionality - I would say it provides perfect data management inside the app."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Oracle has a low risk in implementation against all other products."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle E-Business Suite are best practices, built-in processes, and easy configuration, with plenty of system functionality and customization."
"It's a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature from our experience with E-Business Suite is definitely its ease of use."
"It's out there in the market and the suite of products seem to cater really well to the business needs of our organization."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: 3/10 Technical Support: I would give technical support a rating of 3/10. A lot of the time, their technical support person did not understand the issue."
"The setup was complex."
"Poor user experience. Web based, but requires old version of Java on the desktop which is a security nightmare."
"Licenses are expensive."
"The networking could use improvement."
"I’ll mark scalability as 70-30."
"The mobile apps, I think, are the up and coming thing for us. To make it easier for people to do things on the go."
"Looking at the product on a large scale, some of the features are more spreadsheet-based with data updates."
"Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based."
"I would like to see more integration with other systems."
"At the moment, we have an old version and it is an area of the product with room for improvement."
"An area for improvement is related to the flexibility of the processes in Oracle ERP. It is challenging to change processes within the system, which sometimes hampers our ability to quickly adapt to new requirements."
"We have some real difficulties with upgrades. Every time we perform an upgrade, we put a lot of effort into it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"The pricing is high."
"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."
"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"Find a best Oracle partner and get a better discount."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
