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.

Makes processes including calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier
I use Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management to digitize our processes. I put our work and the opportunities on the platform, validate financial offers, and manage fees from transport and financial management.  I also use the system for record-keeping of client information and work…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very stable solution."
"We find the most value in the fact that all the modules within E-Business Suit are fully integrated into one solution."
"From that perspective, it's 100% worth the investment."
"After implementation, you can build whatever you want."
"The biggest return on investment is the improvements of productivity."
"The system is reliable and the backbone of financial and other core systems in many organizations worldwide."
"It's highly customizable."
"You can group them into the BIs, which is business intelligence. You get your own key performance indicators and build your own reports or you could have your own screens, and it changes in real time."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management has helped by making processes such as calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier."
"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
 

Cons

"Oracle is not keeping up on development of the on-premises version of this product as they are concentrating on cloud solutions."
"E-Business Suite's user experience and interface could be improved."
"The users feel that the product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"They should include database functionality."
"Needs more real-time visualizations, in terms of smarter dashboards and reporting competing with the speed of HANA."
"I would like to see more connections with the third-party application, such as banks and credit card companies."
"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."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"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."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"USD $100,000 annually."
"The pricing of the solution is at about $700-$750 per year."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"The cost is not expensive."
"The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
"It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it depends on the number of branches used. The price can be upwards of $40,000 annually."
