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

"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."
"Do it."
"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."
"Poor user experience."
"The advanced scheduler helps to ensure proper staffing."
"In terms of financials, a 4x growth in revenue since the first implementation was possible by having world-class business software like Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good."
"Everyone in the company is quite used to the Oracle functionality."
"With Oracle, the county switched from paper-based purchasing to an automated solution which allows departments to place orders and receive within days or a week."
"The kind of features they have provided is very helpful."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a stable product."
"Basically if somebody comes to me like a young millennial says, "Okay, should I learn APEX?" the short answer for me is, "Yes.""
"As we have been using this for the past nine years we have had the opportunity to explore the product. Really everything has worked well and all the modules are very good."

Cons

"Licenses are expensive."
"The networking could use improvement."
"The setup was complex."
"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."
"Poor user experience. Web based, but requires old version of Java on the desktop which is a security nightmare."
"Organizational restructuring is a horrible process and very difficult in EBS."
"Oracle is easy to implement at a new organization like ours, but it might be more challenging for an established organization with more rules and policies in place."
"We have some glitches. We have some application server memory issues that generate huge Java dump files."
"We need more user-friendly fast formulas for all HRMS modules."
"The on-premises version of this solution can be difficult to expand, compared to its cloud version. The on-premises version is also more limited, versus the cloud version that has a lot of improvements. Maintaining this solution is also too costly."
"The user interface could be better; it's not good because they made their interface all in one, and my customers don't want to use it."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"The support site is the only bad thing I've seen with Oracle. Unless you type in the exact right words, you don't get the right answers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."
"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"Find a best Oracle partner and get a better discount."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"Products concerning areas like CRM and ERP should provide value at lesser costs to customers, especially if you consider that the initial cost of implementation is high."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"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."
