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."
"The flexibility in configuration is this product’s most valuable feature."
"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."
"Do it."
"The advanced scheduler helps to ensure proper staffing."
"The solution is very stable."
"We find the most value in the fact that all the modules within E-Business Suit are fully integrated into one solution."
"It was very easy to integrate the product into our existing infrastructure."
"Has good dashboard and drill-down features."
"It's quite secure and fast, and we get an end-to-end solution."

Cons

"The setup was complex."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."
"The main challenge has been the annual maintenance cost."
"Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago."
"It feels like everything has to be marked severity 1, critical, 24/7, sometimes in order for it to get something done."
"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. I have to customize the interface and personalize it to hide some fields on the screen. It has lots of information on the screen, and the user can't easily navigate it. It's very difficult to use. I think that Oracle should have something like best practices. They need to provide some patches to simplify the interface based on the industry niche. Because now we see everything on the same screen, but the users don't need all that information. It's complicated to use for end-users, and we have to spend more time training them. In the next release, I think they should implement most of the features in the mobile app. It should be better. Oracle didn't update their mobile application for a very long time. Connecting the mobile application is complicated."
"One of the major issues is that the solution has a high price."
"To me, it seems overly complicated and the interactions between the modules are unclear to me."
"The system alerts could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"Pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is seven out of ten. You must pay extra for maintenance and technical support, apart from standard license fees."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
"The pricing is high."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
