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.

Quick implementation brings comprehensive workflow management and efficient regulation handling
One of the major advantages of QAD Cloud ERP is related to the easy and quick implementation that I have found the most valuable. The entire application of QAD Cloud ERP itself is very valuable for my customers. My impression of the advanced supply chain management feature in QAD Cloud ERP is that it's a very comfortable tool and, if rightly configured, it really helps the business to have clear visibility of the entire supply chain. My impression of the compliance management in QAD Cloud ERP is that it has reduced many overheads of doing manual compliance, and it is quite easily manageable; it is connected with the regulatory authorities, making it a fantastic tool. The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle E-Business Suite is flexible, and its rich functionality can work in any client environment or business."
"We've run our business on it for 15 years now."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"Financials, which are essential to all ERPs, and manufacturing and sales models are among the most valuable features. The specific features implemented depend on the company's needs."
"With Oracle EBS, the customer gets a better cost calculation and an integrated system between departments."
"Oracle is the best solution, I would recommend this solution to others."
"The solution has other core processes that can be implemented with customers according to their needs."
"Thanks to Oracle EBS, we can manage all company processes (inventory, manufacturing, logistic and finance) on one platform."
"The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
"Customer service is very friendly and helpful, and as soon as we raise a ticket for any issue, they basically take care of it irrespective of geographic boundaries."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
 

Cons

"The iStore could be better."
"It's not really an ordering system; it's not friendly, for that matter."
"They started on the mobile app and tablets, but still I see there are no short-forms used in EBS."
"Oracle implementations are complex and require that the customer understands, and reviews their business processes."
"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."
"We've found that technical support has been challenging as they are not always the most forthcoming with information nor are they the most highly-trained techs when you open SRs."
"Organizational restructuring is a horrible process and very difficult in EBS."
"The issue of frequently applying patches and updates to fix bugs. Oracle should improve upon this issue, especially since it happens too frequently."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
"They could improve by moving away from the architecture of Progress 4GL as currently they are undergoing a very drastic change by redoing the entire application with Java and web-based technologies, projected to be released by 2026 with the incorporation of analytics, process intelligence, and AI to help business users."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
