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

"It's a tightly integrated solution."
"Oracle EBS is a mature product; it fills many needs and is a gate to doing customization, as there is a need for custom solutions."
"Finance, HRMS, and payroll are all great, and Oracle EBS is fantastic."
"The system is very stable."
"It provides us with a centralized location to have an enterprise-wide GL and other module solutions."
"The customization and integration features are also great, it's the main thing you look for in a suite."
"The most valuable features of the product are Oracle Process Manufacturing, the module for custom production, raw material conjunction and finished good tracking; Oracle Cash; Procure to Pay; and the full circle."
"It's a very comprehensive solution that enables us to manage customers, customer service, finances, projects, HR, and other business operations."
"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

"For smaller ERP solutions, Oracle EBS is a complex solution which has complex requirements."
"The document that supports the Oracle E-Business Suite regarding the installation and upgrading is long compared to other products and needs to be enhanced."
"The issue of frequently applying patches and updates to fix bugs. Oracle should improve upon this issue, especially since it happens too frequently."
"There are some business-specific processes still not implemented. We need the IPC solution subcontractor management that is not available."
"I'd like to get BI integrated into the transactional system and not just the Data Mart. We've been having issues with making that happen."
"They should have a nicer way to handle very high volumes of data because we deal with really high volumes, and sometimes, we end up with performance issues."
"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."
"We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very 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."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"Pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is seven out of ten. You must pay extra for maintenance and technical support, apart from standard license fees."
"The pricing is high."
"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
