Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The new Subledger Accounting feature is very strong."
"It makes financial operations easier to perform."
"Rapidly implement jobs, positions, grades, and steps within setup of organizational structure."
"Has good dashboard and drill-down features."
"Oracle's technical support is better than others."
"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."
"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 and asset management features are valuable."
"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"It has the best data management features."
"They provide the most stable and powerful technology in the areas of human resources, information systems, and ERP."
"SAP HCM has valuable features for analytics data management."
"The most valuable feature, in my view, is the level of exceptions or error messages that come back when something goes wrong."
"I think HCM was the most stable for me...It is a very scalable product."
"It is a scalable solution. There are three administrators maintaining the solution: an HR person, a payroll person, and one backup."
"We have managed to consolidate our payroll for all India operations on this platform."
"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"I would like to see more automation."
"Earlier when our organization was small they chose Oracle because in the telecommunication industry everybody was using Oracle. Our company has grown to a size where our particularly billing phase has created some challenges and now we are looking at alternate solutions. There is not a billing engine or module that you can buy from Oracle that can be added to this EBS solution to fix our problem. They should add a billing module or engine to the solution."
"The implementation took a long time but it was for many reasons. However, Oracle made sure that the solution and systems were up and running."
"Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers."
"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."
"In the future, Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by having a better UI. Competitors are providing much better interfaces."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"There needs to be a renovation of the interface and functionalities of the talent management modules."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"SAP HCM cannot integrate with other third-party applications. One of the drawbacks we encounter with SAP HCM, specifically in payroll management, is the limitation regarding changing payroll areas within the same month. For instance, if an employee transitions from staff to non-staff status during the month, we face difficulties because the system doesn't allow us to change the payroll."
"It was difficult to deploy. There were challenges regarding configurations and implementation. So, we had a lot of issues."
"It takes a long time to apply an update patch to the system."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"The setup comes with a set of challenges as well."
"It would be nice if the solution migrated to S/4HANA."
