We performed a comparison between Oracle E-Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The system is reliable and the backbone of financial and other core systems in many organizations worldwide."
"The technical ability to run runtime APIs is great."
"It was easy to set up the product."
"Technical support is good."
"Rapidly implement jobs, positions, grades, and steps within setup of organizational structure."
"The financial module has excellent features that many find valuable, while the HCM module is also highly regarded."
"I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments. It also has the decision and internet sale order, and my customers can correct the internet decision. It automatically converts to the internet order, and they don't need to create the entry object. They don't need to make a secondary ledger in the parent company and subsidiary. That's very helpful for internet decisions. If they get an order at the parent company, it automatically creates the sales system in the subsidiary."
"I like that one system covers everything."
"I have been using SAP for more than 13 years and the new SAP S4HANA was not only a simple upgrade, they have made a lot of improvements. They have simplified a lot of the functions, the all-new interface gives users a better experience. The database itself is quite efficient in nature and it provides effective data queries. It is a good upgrade from the previous version of SAP R/3."
"S4HANA is relatively stable."
"From a technological point of view, the in-memory database is one of the key highlights."
"I like the user experience and usability of SAP Fiori, which is one of the main features that we are using."
"It's reliable and the performance is good."
"I have found the most valuable features are the interface, which is very good for all users, and the database performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is the detail in all of the processes. The solution captures our policies and enables us to implement our policies in SAP. There are different models that address our needs."
"The in-memory processing capability is most valuable."
"The user interface could be better. It's not good because they made their interface all in one, and my customers don't want to use it. I have to customize the interface and personalize it to hide some fields on the screen. It has lots of information on the screen, and the user can't easily navigate it. It's very difficult to use. I think that Oracle should have something like best practices. They need to provide some patches to simplify the interface based on the industry niche. Because now we see everything on the same screen, but the users don't need all that information. It's complicated to use for end-users, and we have to spend more time training them. In the next release, I think they should implement most of the features in the mobile app. It should be better. Oracle didn't update their mobile application for a very long time. Connecting the mobile application is complicated."
"Pricing is the biggest disadvantage of Oracle."
"The UI interface is not great."
"Oracle is easy to implement at a new organization like ours, but it might be more challenging for an established organization with more rules and policies in place."
"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."
"I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation."
"Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's stability could be improved as they have a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."
"The solution is complex technically because both an old and a new path exist."
"The common issues being raised right now by the end users are mostly related to the usability."
"I have found the solution to be stable but it could improve."
"Starting out on the solution can be a bit complex and difficult."
"SAP S4HANA could improve by having a more seamless easier integration, faster integration. The overall implementation timelines should be reduced."
"The two things that need to be improved are price and customization."
"There should be a place where I can get the best available applications in one place. Currently, Fiori applications are available in different tiles on the dashboards. If anyone wants to check the financial, sales, and inventory reporting in one place, it is not possible in Fiori. We would have to develop a custom Fiori application. If that feature can be incorporated into the standard Fiori, it will be helpful for us."
"It should have more support. Documentation and support for mobile apps can be improved."
