Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

Microsoft Dynamics GP and Oracle E-Business Suite are competing in the enterprise resource planning solutions category. Microsoft Dynamics GP is favored for pricing and support, while Oracle E-Business Suite stands out for its comprehensive feature set.

Features: Microsoft Dynamics GP offers financial management, inventory control, and business intelligence features. On the other hand, Oracle E-Business Suite provides supply chain management, human capital management, and customer relationship management capabilities. Oracle E-Business Suite's broader range of features makes it ideal for large businesses, whereas Dynamics GP is suitable for small to mid-sized companies.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Dynamics GP could expand its feature set to cater to larger enterprises and improve integration with third-party applications. It also needs enhanced global compliance features. Oracle E-Business Suite could benefit from simplified deployment processes, better customization tools for non-technical users, and cost reduction strategies.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Dynamics GP is recognized for easier deployment options and responsive support, with cloud and on-premises choices. Oracle E-Business Suite's complex deployment can result in longer implementation times due to the need for intricate integrations, although it offers strong customer service.

Offers great integration capabilities and allows just the real-time inventory

Dynamics GP improves inventory management by offering real-time inventory tracking, and automated purchase order creation, receiving, and updating inventory levels. It facilitates site-to-site transfers and allocation tracking, enabling efficient stock management across locations. The integration capability of Dynamics GP, combined with Power Platform, has transformed our business processes. We now use PowerApps to enable salesmen to send orders electronically, eliminating the need for order books. Additionally, we developed HR apps to streamline tasks for our staff, leading to automated processes and improved efficiency. Our experience with Dynamics GP reporting and analytics features, particularly Advanced Analysis, has been great. We utilize customized smart lists for purchasing and other functions, allowing for tailored insights over specific periods. Additionally, we have developed custom dashboards for enhanced visibility and support portal integration. I wouldn't recommend Dynamics GP due to its legacy status and impending end of support. However, if integration with the Power Platform is crucial and the company prioritizes modernization, it could still be a viable option. For new companies, I would suggest considering Dynamics 365 Business Central for a more modern solution. Overall, I would rate Dynamics GP as a seven out of ten.

Centralizes our enterprise-wide functions but could benefit from cloud migration

We have dealt with customer service, and it was awful. For a system this size, it felt like we were merely buying software from them. They weren't really partnered with us on it. Reporting bugs and getting feedback, as well as having engineers work on issues, was very transactional. There was no real ownership on Oracle's part. During several support cases, it became difficult to determine ownership at Oracle and get status updates. The on-premises Oracle support is not great in my experience, and I think this is true in the industry. We've read about their software as a solution, and theoretically, their SaaS portal support is a lot better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Dynamics GP has supported our compliance with industry regulations completely."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

"The stability was reliable."

"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."

"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."

"Microsoft Dynamics GP has strong out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, and its integration with Office 365, Power Apps, and Power Platform provides great additional benefits, helping deliver better experiences to employees and customers."

"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP pros

"Before, we used a lot of manpower in our operations, in the backend, but this is a service. We have eliminated some unnecessary processes."

"The most valuable features of Oracle E-Business Suite are all the 15 to 20 modules. We use them on a day-to-day basis."

"Order to cash and procure to pay process: They are valuable features because of their integration and flexibility."

"It handles all my financial functions, including the entire process of financial transactions"

"It can easily be developed into an application."

"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."

"The order management is excellent."

"The initial setup is easy."

More Oracle E-Business Suite pros

Cons

"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."

"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."

"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."

"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."

"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."

"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."

"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."

"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP cons

"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."

"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."

"The implementation took a long time but it was for many reasons. However, Oracle made sure that the solution and systems were up and running."

"Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based."

"I would say the integration needs improvement. Oracle needs to work on the integration layer to make the solution much more robust and modern."

"There are some business-specific processes still not implemented."

"Oracle E-Business Suite is hard and takes six months to one year to implement."

"The user interface is not completely a web interface, it uses a lot of traffic which costs too much for a large number of users scattered throughout the country as they connect from their terminals to do their tasks."

More Oracle E-Business Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that the pricing is moderate, not cheap, and not expensive. There are many more expensive ERPs than GP, and there are less expensive as well, so it is moderately priced."

"The solution's price is steep."

"We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."

"For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."

"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."

"It is an affordable solution."

"In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."

"I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."

"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly. Additionally, support is an extra cost. The price of the solution could be reduced."

"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."

"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."

"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."

"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."

"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."

"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."

"Find a best Oracle partner and get a better discount."

Reviews from Real Users:

Kopano R., Freelancer at a tech services company, says, “What I found most valuable in Oracle E-Business Suite is the patching because it is straightforward. As long as you follow Oracle's best practices, you are able to finish the task of patching without a problem. I like that it's also easy to add products, e.g. if you want to add on financials, you can, or if you don't have financials, you can expand on that. I like that Oracle E-Business Suite is really scalable.”

Mohammed G., Senior Oracle Application Consultant at a comms service provider, writes, “Oracle E-Business Suite consists of a lot of streams, such as financial and HR processes of the enterprise companies. We are using most of the Oracle financial modules, and we have an Oracle stream, FI procurement stream, and HR streams, which have a lot of applications. Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good. “
