Customer Service

Sentiment score
3.4
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's customer service is improving but faces challenges with complex issues and requires enhanced prioritization and expertise.
Microsoft has really good documentation, and they are known for that.
The quality of service providers varies by region, causing delays in resolutions.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Microsoft Dynamics AX offers scalability, especially in the cloud, but older versions struggle with complex setups for larger clients.
Sentiment score
6.3
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP scales well, offering robust integration, flexibility, and effective self-service options for expanding organizations.
Microsoft Dynamics AX already has multiple functions for sales, inventory, HR, finance, and supply chain.
It does not support consolidated financial reporting.
There are these things called AOS nodes where if you have more users and performance decreases, you can add more servers to the cluster.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Microsoft Dynamics AX is generally stable, though stability varies with infrastructure and updates, with mixed user ratings.
Sentiment score
5.5
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP offers high stability and efficient data management, with reliable support and minimal system-related issues.
If you do the maintenance and have your own people, it could be stable, but it means a lot of work.
I have not had any major issues with stability.
The solution is very scalable.
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft Dynamics AX requires greater efficiency, improved user interface, better integration, and more flexible, scalable, and localized features.
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP needs improvements in UI, integration, pricing clarity, security, flexibility, and regional localization for better usability.
Microsoft Dynamics AX lacks the concept of month-end closing, which is essential for tight control over financial periods.
It is no longer supported from a security perspective, so it is not getting updated.
Most companies working with AX currently transforming to D365, upgrading their ERP systems, which are more enhanced and have additional features such as dashboards.
Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job.
 

Setup Cost

Microsoft Dynamics AX has high initial costs, with variable regional pricing, but cloud options may offer savings.
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is costly but competitive for larger enterprises; pricing varies by user count and selected modules.
Acquiring a developer license for customization is expensive, costing over one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP might be considered expensive, especially in Pakistan due to conversion rates.
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Dynamics AX offers comprehensive ERP solutions with strong security, seamless integration, and efficient support for finance, supply chain, and sales.
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP combines flexibility, ROI, and usability with robust features, real-time analytics, and seamless integration for enterprise management.
The adjustments and availability to create more than one virtual company allow large companies, which combined represent one group of companies, to connect and streamline their financials and operations.
I have not had any major issue with stability.
The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is its full integration with Excel, allowing for cut and paste functionality between Excel and the system.
With Oracle ODA, users can simply chat with the system to enter expenses and Oracle AI performs processes automatically, saving time for customers.
The functionality-wise features or functions of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP that I find most valuable depend totally on the client.

Featured Reviews

SherifAnter - PeerSpot reviewer
The sales and distribution modules are robust, and reliable, and seldom encounter issues
In GP, there are certain features like financial reporting that aren't part of the core GP package. Users might need to install additional components for these features. For example, there's a reseller product called Management Reporter, but many users would prefer to have the reporting capabilities integrated within GP itself, rather than relying on external tools. The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools. Additionally, you might be aware that in 2028, GP is expected to reach its end of life. Microsoft has already ceased selling GP to new customers. It's essentially the same product, but this marks the final year for GP's availability.
Muhammad Umair Siddiqui - PeerSpot reviewer
AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.
