Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It can easily be developed into an application.""The most valuable feature is the integration between accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, and budgeting.""The customer gets a better cost calculation and an integrated system between departments.""EBS has lots of application families and lots of features. It is modular in deployment and flexible enough to let the customer increase the built-in capabilities and enable new applications when needed. These are very important things at hand in case there will be a need to expand the product capabilities and/or implement new projects.""The GL and FAH modules have become real-deal players for an organization with many legacy systems that handle transactions and where there is a need to create accounting from these transactions.""Technical support is good.""Oracle EBS adapts to our business rules, so we don't have to change them, whereas SAP is rigid. We need to change our business rules to implement SAP. Oracle's reporting is also excellent and it's easier for our technical team to customize the solution compared to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and other products.""The technical support for the solution was very good."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Pros →

"This solution integrates very well with other products which is helpful.""The solution is easy to scale, expand and make bigger.""PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability.""Its user interface is impressive.""A valuable feature is HCM.""The feature that I have found most valuable is having the sources so that you're able to adapt the product to your needs. That was a big benefit.""PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it.""The PeopleSoft interface is very good."

More PeopleSoft Pros →

"The solution provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure.""The most valuable features of Sage People are the reports that are useful for decision-making and the API that can be integrated well. Additionally, the solution can be accessed from mobile devices onto the cloud.""I guess I would say maybe that it is a more robust system.""Without a doubt, the most valuable aspect of this solution is the reports, as it offers endless possibilities for report customization. You can easily build any report you can imagine with this system.""The report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good.""Compared to the other system that we were using, I think Sage is more friendly. As an administrator, Sage's dashboard is visually friendly and many tasks are easier to accomplish. Another feature that we've liked since we started using Sage is the reporting. With the other system, we needed to configure a lot of things manually when it came to reporting, but with Sage the reporting tasks are much simpler.""Sage makes all the information accessible, like pulling a file because an employee needs something ASAP. It's all in the system. It's easy to find old reports if I need them for payroll purposes. It might take days to do some of this work by hand.""The reporting features are also very valuable because, on top of 300+ reports available on the system, you can also customize quite a number of reports."

More Sage People Pros →

Cons
"Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers.""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.""There are some enhancements in the process itself that is needed in the application. In the cloud version, they covered some of these areas and requirements but the on-premise version has to catch up.""The integration features of the tool on on-premises weren't that great, making it an area where improvements are required.""Oracle is not keeping up on development of the on-premises version of this product as they are concentrating on cloud solutions.""Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements.""From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes.""The user interface is not completely a web interface, it uses a lot of traffic which costs too much for a large number of users scattered throughout the country as they connect from their terminals to do their tasks."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Cons →

"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive.""PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities.""The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP.""Areas that need improvement are the add-ons to the fluid pages and additional features in SCM and finance, both functionally and technically.""The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions.""My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective.""I would like to see a better UI.""We have already deployed it and we have had it for several years but we are switching to a modern HCM SaaS cloud product."

More PeopleSoft Cons →

"The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly.""The user interface is not great.""Its technical support could have been better.""In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms.""If Sage People were to become a fully cloud-based solution, it could lead to significant improvements. With the COVID pandemic highlighting the benefits of remote work, a complete shift to cloud-based functionality would be a welcome development for users.""Its stability could be better.""There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves.""The automation in Sage People could improve. The solution is the best used for data storage but the automation could be better to have more functionality."

    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.”

Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good. “

    Reviews from Real Users

    PeopleSoft is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has a lot of functionality and is customizable.

    "PeopleSoft is a good core system. It has a lot of functionality. "They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good," says another reviewer who is an HR/Pay Systems Administrator/Director at a university.
