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.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We want a one-stop shop to solve all of our problems."
"For large organizations like ours, its ability to handle our data volume with stability is, for us, a perfect match."
"It provides a well-centered database that is feature rich."
"The technical ability to run runtime APIs is great."
"We find the most value in the fact that all the modules within E-Business Suit are fully integrated into one solution."
"Their great technical support is one of the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Oracle E-Business Suite are all the 15 to 20 modules. We use them on a day-to-day basis."
"Helped make us compliant and provides a transparent view of our financial system."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good; it is quite simple but powerful, and similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
 

Cons

"Technical support is mediocre. It used to be a lot better."
"The initial setup is not simple, it's quite complex, very difficult."
"It doesn't make any sense to communicate with Oracle about what changes should be made to the system."
"Deployment is not simple, particular with mobile applications."
"Right now, I don’t think the version that we are using supports mobile devices."
"It should be made a little bit more user friendly. When I complete my implementation and hand it over to the clients or the person who will operate it on a day-to-day basis, they find it a little bit difficult because they are not from a highly qualified IT background. I want Oracle to make it a little bit more user friendly."
"The stability is really 50/50 right now. It could be issues with certain pages or data, or it could be a training issue on our end."
"There are no short-forms used in EBS on the mobile app and tablets, and increasing that will help because now everyone carries their tablets and handheld devices and you don’t need to go back to your seat to do anything if you are in the store or warehouse."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module."
