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.

Can accomplish more with this tool than with a website or shared drive, yet reporting is weak
A large percentage of our employee base is remote at client locations. A web-based VMS allows anyone to access our catalog, and to work on their professional development, 24/7, regardless of location. I am a single system admin for over 600 users. I can accomplish much more with this tool than with a website or shared drive that doesn't have reporting, assignment, and other capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is definitely the ability to go in as a manager or as an individual and do everything in one place, for example, to add, change, or remove a goal."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's most valuable feature is the information that it provides. For example, it's good to know the AR due date and the receipt of the products that you have sold. It is a good solution overall for enterprise management."
"There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution."
"What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it."
"It is a very consistent product on IBM and there is also a lot of knowledge data."
"Everyone in the company is quite used to the Oracle functionality."
"Employee Central and the core HR functionality is exciting!"
"I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments."
"SilkRoad support has been very responsible and helpful."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex."
"There are always some bugs and missing patches."
"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."
"Our biggest problem with this solution is the user interface."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Some of my clients report that the overall ease of use could be simplified."
"It took about a year and was a painful process."
"We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly."
"The ability to view and report on, then manage data is not very robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is at about $700-$750 per year."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
