Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution.""I think one of the best use cases is centralizing supplier and customer data into our finance system. We identified there were so many duplicate suppliers and customers and so a lot of time was spent reporting.""Order to cash and procure to pay process: They are valuable features because of their integration and flexibility.""When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution.""Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good.""What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it. In the Indian market, the subscription solutions aren't that suitable, even in terms of the complexity of the regulations, taxes, etc., so that's why we had to go for an on-premise solution that's hosted on the cloud, and we're happy with Oracle E-Business Suite. We also like that Oracle E-Business Suite is quite flexible, and we've also built some bolt-ons and they're working fine.""Financial reconciliation and reporting."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Pros →

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability.""The integration between Human Capital Management (HCM) and PeopleSoft is an important feature.""The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use.""A valuable feature is FSCM.""The most valuable feature is ERP application information.""The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner.""Job data is a valuable feature.""Flexibility in configuration."

More PeopleSoft Pros →

"I like analytics, dashboard, and KPIs a lot. It is very helpful when I need to check balances and financial statements.""The ability to link documents to accounts, partners and events via the Golden/Yellow Arrow feature is very useful.""Add-ons that can be implemented are most valuable.""The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is the ability to manage your entire business with one software package.""For us, the most useful feature of Business One is Material Requirements Planning (MRP).""This is the most efficient ERP that is in the market right now.""The solution is user-friendly in comparison with Oracle.""The efficient Intercompany sales to purchase order conversion is great."

More SAP Business One Pros →

Cons
"It is still a little outdated as far as what we consider a twenty-first century software. You're still using Oracle forms, that sort of thing.""The reporting needs to be improved.""E-Business Suite's user experience and interface could be improved.""The user interface could be better. It's not good because they made their interface all in one, and my customers don't want to use it. I have to customize the interface and personalize it to hide some fields on the screen. It has lots of information on the screen, and the user can't easily navigate it. It's very difficult to use. I think that Oracle should have something like best practices. They need to provide some patches to simplify the interface based on the industry niche. Because now we see everything on the same screen, but the users don't need all that information. It's complicated to use for end-users, and we have to spend more time training them. In the next release, I think they should implement most of the features in the mobile app. It should be better. Oracle didn't update their mobile application for a very long time. Connecting the mobile application is complicated.""There are some cycles in HR that are not straightforward.""The implementation can take quite a bit of time.""User interface is outdated and not user friendly.""Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Cons →

"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors.""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.""Initial setup can be complex without training or use of consultants.""Services that need improvement include PeopleSoft Query, Pivot Grids, and PeopleSoft Test Framework.""Tools and UI could be enhanced.""The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved.""The implementation of PeopleSoft is quite complex and is not as easy as other cloud products such as SuccessFactor or Workday.""PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."

More PeopleSoft Cons →

"The analytics data capabilities could improve which will provide businesses with much more insight into how their companies are performing.""There is room for improvement in stability.""Lacks an advanced HR model with payroll.""I would love to have more reporting capabilities. It should have an embedded BI engine. Currently, I have to maintain an additional system for BI.""We would like a mobile version of this for sales exhibits, etc. We would also like more personalization features to personalize it for our organization.""SAP could improve the performance of the business alignment with other products.""In terms of business processes, the production could use improvement.""We don't have the functionality of the supply chain and mobile applications."

    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.”

    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.

    A Regional Director at a tech services company mentions, “The most valuable feature is that it's wide and broad and it does about everything anybody needs in a major organization from a back-office systems point of view.”

    "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.


    A Senior Manager for DevOps Infrastructure at a financial services firm, explains why he finds the solution so beneficial: "It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure a Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
