Featured Reviews

James Balbach - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizes our enterprise-wide functions but could benefit from cloud migration
We have dealt with customer service, and it was awful. For a system this size, it felt like we were merely buying software from them. They weren't really partnered with us on it. Reporting bugs and getting feedback, as well as having engineers work on issues, was very transactional. There was no real ownership on Oracle's part. During several support cases, it became difficult to determine ownership at Oracle and get status updates. The on-premises Oracle support is not great in my experience, and I think this is true in the industry. We've read about their software as a solution, and theoretically, their SaaS portal support is a lot better.

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

"There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution."
"I like that one system covers everything."
"The order management is excellent."
"Oracle EBS provides the customer with faster financial closing because of its accurate calculations."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good."
"It's quite secure and fast, and we get an end-to-end solution."
"Has good dashboard and drill-down features."
"The technical support for the solution was very good."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
"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."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management has helped by making processes such as calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier."
 

Cons

"Oracle E-Business Suite is hard and takes six months to one year to implement."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"A lot more automation can be brought into E-Business Suite."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"It's more expensive than other options due to licensing costs and core-based hardware."
"Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates."
"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."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
"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."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"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."
"The cost is not expensive."
"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 solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
