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

"It has improved our organization by enabling us to move from manual to automatic processes, meaning that our clients can focus on analysis instead of transactions and dealing with a lot of paperwork."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to give us real-time information."
"It essentially runs our business, from our financials to manufacturing to supply-chain to planning instances."
"Basically if somebody comes to me like a young millennial says, "Okay, should I learn APEX?" the short answer for me is, "Yes.""
"Oracle E-Business Suite is easy to use, and we have enough resources out in the market."
"To do this before on paper basis, it was very time consuming, and now they can use the gained time to properly manage their workforce."
"The reporting capabilities keep us from having to run every report for our users as they can go in and run the reports themselves."
"Oracle is the only company I can count on for support."
"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

"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. My team is still getting used to the solution, so there could still be some features that have not been enabled or features my team isn't aware of yet. There have been issues with the Treasury module of Oracle E-Business Suite, so this is another area for improvement. My company hasn't decided yet on whether to implement the Treasury module or just go with another solution. Another room for improvement in Oracle E-Business Suite is the design, as it needs to be optimized based on usage patterns. What I'd like added in the next release of Oracle E-Business Suite is the time attribute. The solution still has dashboards being rolled out, so the time attribute could already be there or is still in the process of implementation. I also didn't find much use for the Projects module based on my company's requirements. The integration of Oracle E-Business Suite with the rest of the Oracle tools isn't very tight as well, but it could be because of customizations here in India, where the integrations work seamlessly everywhere, except in India. You'll find gaps because of customizations in India which are very, very irritating. For example, if a procurement is moving in the system then all the data has to move from one module to the other, but in the Oracle E-Business Suite Procurement module, you'll notice breaks or gaps that require you to manually transfer that data, so I'd like this improved in the next release of the solution."
"The level of technical support depends on who you get. Sometimes they'll lag along and we have to keep prodding them and babysit the ticket."
"Performance issues and handling of financial data could be improved."
"As the pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is too high and maintaining it is too costly, instead of users patching in a timely manner, they complain about the price, and only do the patching whenever there's an issue."
"When I look at some of my previous companies, they spent millions of dollars on deployment and even just doing an upgrade."
"The stability is really 50/50 right now. It could be issues with certain pages or data, or it could be a training issue on our end."
"It would be nice to have more web services."
"Pricing is the biggest disadvantage of Oracle."
"The reporting could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite is too high."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"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."
"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."
