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

"The interface is easy to use."
"It can easily be developed into an application."
"Oracle is the only company I can count on for support."
"The solution's very scalable, being used by organizations from very small businesses to multi-billion dollar organizations."
"Finance, HRMS, and payroll are all great, and Oracle EBS is fantastic."
"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"The technical support for the solution was very good."
"The solution offers strong integration capabilities, is balanced and sends good reports, is easy to use, stable, scalable, and supported by great technical support."
"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 accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
"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 initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable; it is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
 

Cons

"Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers."
"Oracle E-Business Suite should be more detailed and user-friendly. I should be able to customize the screen or application without needing technical support."
"At the moment, we have an old version and it is an area of the product with room for improvement."
"I’ll mark scalability as 70-30."
"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."
"Oracle licensing is very complex, and the pricing is too expensive."
"There have been many times where I have had performance problems if there are high volume loads."
"There are some business-specific processes still not implemented."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive."
"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"Products concerning areas like CRM and ERP should provide value at lesser costs to customers, especially if you consider that the initial cost of implementation is high."
"Licensing and costing of Oracle EBS is very complex. We recommend to use a system integrator during the negotiation process since Oracle sales representatives sometime do not know the actual minimum requirements and may oversell the necessary licenses through ignorance."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"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 cost is not 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."
