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.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The accounting and inventory management features are valuable."
"It's scalable."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is how easy it is to use."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The relation between CRM and Sales, that's the main strength of this ERP."
"Dynamics AX provides a lot of functionality."
"Microsoft Dynamics is very stable."
"Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
"My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."
"The technical support services are good and can resolve most of our issues."
"The product has good functionality."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved with more expert resources and an easier implementation process."
"There are so many errors."
"The on-premises and desktop versions are not user-friendly."
"At times there are issues related to reporting, sometimes with the integration between two or three modules, and sometimes to the logic itself."
"I would never recommend moving to an obsolete product that cannot get support."
"Microsoft could provide more flexible hardware requirements that can scale with the volume of data being processed rather than providing only a minimum requirement."
"It needs better financials and reporting from the system, not through Excel."
"I sometimes put in wrong data that needs correction, but I cannot change it or approve it without withdrawing it. It will then take time for me to go back in and edit it."
"One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."
"Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined."
"It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens."
"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement."
"The solution should implement improvements with AI technology. Specifically, in the realm of ERP tools, this can be particularly beneficial, not only for cloud-based systems but for all types of tools. Additionally, a highly desirable feature is the ability to work offline."
"For economically weak countries, the solution's price appears expensive"
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual licensing cost for Microsoft Dynamics AX."
"The solution is on-premises and we do not pay for a license."
"The price of the solution is high."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX is expensive."
"In relation to the cloud, it might be expensive for a longer duration. However, it's essential to consider the demands of enterprise users. While it's cost-effective in the short run, it becomes relatively costly in the long run."
"Microsoft Dynamics AX is not expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price is average compared to other vendors. The licensing is on a yearly basis depending on the subscription pattern. There are no extra costs apart from licensing."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"It is too costly."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"In a developing country such as Bangladesh, Oracle ERP Cloud is expensive compared to on-premise solutions, so the turnover is very low. Customers become more comfortable using on-premise services because of the high subscription costs of Oracle ERP Cloud."
