Featured Reviews

Cirvesh-Daga - PeerSpot reviewer

Simplify and streamline complex business processes, and good integration capabilities but lacks predictive capabilities
An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability. However, I'm sure Microsoft is already thinking about incorporating AI co-pilot features, which should be coming soon. The end person who will be looking at the report is the CFO, and CFO isn't just interested in static reports but in predictive information. Ideally, SL could use data from ERP, and CRM to provide some level of prediction. CoPilot is plugged into Dynamics, it'll be a plus and even a huge selling point over other solutions that are there in the market because now we have a component of AI. We can also give you some level of prediction. Even if it starts with a 15% confidence level, a CFO will take that because it still allows them to increase their bets to a certain extent. So, that's something that I I will look forward to whenever Microsoft introduces it.

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

"The solution has provided a good return on investment by ensuring our financial and operational information is accurate and timely."
"If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature."
"The solution has many helpful features, the stability is very good, its performance is reliable, the solution is extremely useful for e-commerce companies, the compliance has been very useful, the solution is quite stable, the scalability is good, and it is pretty easy to set up."
"It's pretty easy to set up."
"We can drill down from the sales order line to the invoice and payment at the detailed level."
"It provides us with a centralized location to have an enterprise-wide GL and other module solutions."
"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"ERP is a valuable feature of this product."
"The supplier invoice payment process is very easy and is integrated from the requisition to the payment (and to creating the asset)."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a very awesome product; it has a lot of capabilities, and you can gain a lot of business knowledge through it."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it gives us the ability to process the requisitions from our end users quickly, which is tied into all of our financials."
"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."
 

Cons

"The product's primary improvement area would be its batch processing system."
"The licensing of the solution should be adjusted; the policies aren't ideal and they should make it easier to understand because right now it's too confusing."
"An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability."
"The document that supports the Oracle E-Business Suite regarding the installation and upgrading is long compared to other products and needs to be enhanced."
"My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is not to go with Oracle if you don't have much knowledge about it."
"The issue of frequently applying patches and updates to fix bugs. Oracle should improve upon this issue, especially since it happens too frequently."
"It needs a better user interface; the forms and HTML split would be better if they were consistent."
"It's not easy for people without technical knowledge to understand how to implement it."
"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."
"We are on a slightly older version as we don't apply as many patches as Oracle recommends because we feel it's not stable. So we've definitely had some stability issues that have prevented us from moving forward for the product."
"It is on the expensive side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs were reasonable."
"If the value proposition is clear for the customer, they won't see it as an expensive solution. A solution becomes expensive when it doesn't do what it promises."
"USD $100,000 annually."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"Oracle prices are better in Vietnam and more flexible. If we need to customize something in Oracle, it's very flexible and easy to customize."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
