Md. Mazharul Islam - PeerSpot reviewer
Incharge Corporate Accounts & ERP System at General Pharmaceuticals Limited.
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.

Senior Advisor Electric & Electronics at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Less expensive than some competing solutions, but it's hard to handle logistics management at scale
We're having problems with logistics and warehouse management, and we don't know if we have the right module from Penta. When shipments come into our warehouse, they have to plug it into the Penta system and find the right place to store them. They have to go through the same process on the way out. Our production department has to do the same thing each time to prepare the material for production and get the goods out of the store. It takes a lot of time. I don't know if there are any automated solutions for it. We also do internal manufacturing orders from the German branch of our company. We send an order to the manufacturing department for every car and they have to enter each individual order into the system. The production manager spends so much time organizing this task.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The order management is excellent."
"Thanks to Oracle EBS, we can manage all company processes (inventory, manufacturing, logistic and finance) on one platform."
"The interface is easy to use."
"What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it."
"The solution is good for small businesses."
"Payroll and online benefits enrollment"
"Oracle has always been known for its finance modules and that is definitely a valuable feature."
"This is an enormous product and it's our ERP system; it pretty much performs all of our accounting transactions and is the single source of truth for all our financial statements."
"Penta offers a single way to solve our problems rather than building a new ERP system in the company."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
 

Cons

"Oracle tends to be slower when it comes to bringing flashy functionalities than other, smaller entities can deliver."
"It's not easy for people without technical knowledge to understand how to implement it."
"A downside of Oracle E-Business Suite is its interface because it's less user-friendly than the latest cloud solutions. As an organization, Oracle now has more interest in cloud applications, so nowadays, it doesn't focus much on Oracle E-Business Suite, an on-premises solution, so this is another downside."
"The system alerts could be improved."
"In the future, Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by having a better UI. Competitors are providing much better interfaces."
"The solution is very expensive. The price is high for smaller organizations."
"Technical support is not the best and we have to keep pushing. There have been a lot of times when we keep calling to get prompt support or escalations to a manager in order to get better support."
"I would like to see more connections with the third-party application, such as banks and credit card companies."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"Oracle generally gives a lot of discounts."
"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."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
