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.

The self-service helps increase employee loyalty
The reporting could use some improvement. It doesn't shorten the data that it displays to the employee. At the moment you have to scroll through all of the results in order to find what you are looking for. Another improvement that should be implemented in the next release is the appraisal. For the appraisal model, we have to go to another solution because the one included is not supporting us in our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Oracle, the county switched from paper-based purchasing to an automated solution which allows departments to place orders and receive within days or a week."
"The implementation of Oracle E-Business Suite is easy."
"It can easily be developed into an application."
"The on-premise is very similar to the cloud version."
"Their great technical support is one of the most valuable features."
"The technical ability to run runtime APIs is great."
"For large organizations like ours, its ability to handle our data volume with stability is, for us, a perfect match."
"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
"This solution increases the employees' loyalty to the organization since everything regarding their salary, health, insurance, etc. is there, and the employees can also check to see what activity is done on their files."
 

Cons

"Deployment takes way too much time."
"It should be made a little bit more user friendly. When I complete my implementation and hand it over to the clients or the person who will operate it on a day-to-day basis, they find it a little bit difficult because they are not from a highly qualified IT background. I want Oracle to make it a little bit more user friendly."
"Sometimes I have issues with the performance tuning."
"Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement."
"One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system."
"The technical support is good, although sometimes it is very difficult to get an answer from them right away."
"In SAP, when customization or work is done in an instance, it can be automatically copied to the production instance. Such automation would be a very good future addition to Oracle."
"The reporting could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"Pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is seven out of ten. You must pay extra for maintenance and technical support, apart from standard license fees."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"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."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
