Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Rapidly implement jobs, positions, grades, and steps within setup of organizational structure.""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.""The supplier invoice payment process is very easy and is integrated from the requisition to the payment (and to creating the asset).""Great finance modules and customization.""If I want to manage many parts of my organization, such as finances, proceedings, or supply chain I would typically need to buy many different solutions. However, with Oracle E-Business Suite, it is all that is needed. This ERP system has many modules.""The technical support for the solution was very good.""Everyone in the company is quite used to the Oracle functionality.""The new Subledger Accounting feature is very strong."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Pros →

"I think that it's stable. I don't believe that there are any issues.""The most valuable feature is the support for mobile devices.""This solution is user friendly and can be used on a mobile phone without a computer.""It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features.""All the features are good.""The core part and the talent management part are most valuable.""We have not had any issues with the stability of this solution.""This product can greatly improve handling of human resources and efficiency."

More Oracle HCM Cloud Pros →

Cons
"We expect Oracle to go into continuous innovation mode and provide simplified integration solutions.""Some of my clients report that the overall ease of use could be simplified.""They should have a nicer way to handle very high volumes of data because we deal with really high volumes, and sometimes, we end up with performance issues.""There are always some bugs and missing patches.""E-Business Suite's user experience and interface could be improved.""Oracle E-Business Suite could improve the tables. When we remove some of them sometimes they cloud the modules into one. It becomes a little difficult to segregate.""The initial setup was a little complex.""Oracle E-Business Suite's stability could be improved as they have a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Cons →

"I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement.""It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based.""In the next release, I would like to see a new recruitments module. I would like to see the preboarding so that it sends out integrations through personal email. That would be very useful.""From the feedback that I get, the functional side of the payroll could be improved.""The data uploading part and backup could be better. They are a bit complex. Oracle is continuously changing it from one functionality to another. It's a bit unstable right now, and it's basically on the backend data upload part. If I have to upload, for example, data for 100 employees, it's a bit of a challenge for an end-user. It can be difficult if you're not a technical person and an end-user like me. I administer the platform, and if I get a request to upload and I'm not a technical person, then I'm just lost. I have to do some research and then complete the task. But it's evolving, and I hope it's more user-friendly in the future. In the next release, I would like a more stable mobile application. The current version isn't very stable. It takes time to open, and although they have come up with new UI pages, a few open areas need to be addressed. I would also like to see more robust and user-friendly data uploading techniques that would be helpful for end users like us. We don't have a technical background, and we just want to upload the data for our day-to-day operations.""Occasionally there are problems with stability.""The performance and reaction time can be improved.""The product is comparably complex to install and deploy properly."

    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.”
