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 response time of the solution is very good."
"Dynamics AX is very simple to use."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is how easy it is to use."
"It is easy to use, and it has a great UI. It has very well-structured modules. In terms of setup and configuration, they're logically placed, which makes it easy for any user to pick up information and learn more about the system, rather than just be plain key users of that business operating system."
"I am impressed with the tool's vendor collaboration. It is also easy to connect with third-party applications."
"Supply Chain Management is an excellent feature."
"We're using the solution for financial modules, specifically focusing on consolidation, financial configuration, management reporting for warehousing, sales. Most of the features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are good. The overall structure and functions are great. The solution is stable. The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has the same UI and is very similar to any other Microsoft product."
"The entire solution operates online or on the cloud and this is a valuable feature of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
"The solution saves time and money."
"The scalability is very good."
"It is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at."
"I use Oracle ERP Cloud for implementation support."
"The technical support services are good and can resolve most of our issues."
"The product has good functionality."
"What's most valuable in Oracle ERP Cloud is that it's one of the largest ERPs available in the market and it has a lot of customization features. It also has a lot of flexibility and integration options that work with other applications. Many of the customers also migrate to the cloud, so Oracle ERP Cloud is a preferred solution."
 

Cons

"The 2012 version is obsolete, and we don't have any support for it."
"Microsoft could provide more flexible hardware requirements that can scale with the volume of data being processed rather than providing only a minimum requirement."
"We do not have access to daily projections."
"The integration could improve for the future."
"The product needs better admin control. There is room for improvement in flexibility, reporting, and dashboards. Artificial intelligence should be incorporated. I have concerns regarding partners, specifically in the implementation and deployment of Microsoft Dynamics."
"It needs better financials and reporting from the system, not through Excel."
"AX does take some time and maintenance."
"From a consultant's point of view, I recommend an enhancement in terms of detailed documentation for the products on the website."
"Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities."
"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."
"You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."
"The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good."
"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's license is expensive. My company is located in a region where we have to pay the most for the tool due to our currency and inflation scenario."
"The price of the solution is high."

"The tool’s price must be improved."
