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."

"The flexibility in configuration is this product’s most valuable feature."

"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."

"The advanced scheduler helps to ensure proper staffing."

"Poor user experience."

"Do it."

"Their great technical support is one of the most valuable features."

"Thanks to Oracle EBS, we can manage all company processes (inventory, manufacturing, logistic and finance) on one platform."

"We've seen a lot more cohesiveness in our organization since we started using EBS."

"When I put these aside, EBS saves time and increases the efficiency for the customers."

"To do this before on paper basis, it was very time consuming, and now they can use the gained time to properly manage their workforce."

"I especially like E-Business Suite's data management functionality - I would say it provides perfect data management inside the app."

"Online patching, which lets administrators apply patches on the fly and with minimum downtime to make it active."

"The system is very stable."

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."

"Licenses are expensive."

"The networking could use improvement."

"Poor user experience. Web based, but requires old version of Java on the desktop which is a security nightmare."

"The setup was complex."

"They should include database functionality."

"We are moving to the cloud and are looking at the cloud version of it for the cost of ownership and a more modernized integrated platform."

"The initial setup is complex."

"I'm not impressed with the out-of-the-box analytics. It's really the bare minimum."

"Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing."

"Although all the modules are integrated with each other into E-Business Suite, sometimes when you apply one patch for Accounts Receivable, for example, it can damage Accounts Payable."

"Deployment is not simple, particular with mobile applications."

"It's not really an ordering system; it's not friendly, for that matter."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."

"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."

"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."

"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."

"Oracle prices are better in Vietnam and more flexible. If we need to customize something in Oracle, it's very flexible and easy to customize."

"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."

"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."

"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."

"In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
