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.

Integrated finance and HR have supported growth while support and on-premise limits need work
Unit4 ERP7 will not be improved as it is no longer supported by Unit4. The cloud ERP CR and ERP X do have clear roadmaps available to customers. Many of the gaps have been filled by the ERP suite of products. New improvements will include AI agents to automate finance and HR processes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Thanks to Oracle EBS, we can manage all company processes (inventory, manufacturing, logistic and finance) on one platform."
"The technical ability to run runtime APIs is great."
"The most valuable features are the financial-related capabilities."
"It can be an essential solution for those who can not just push to the cloud because they have critical data restrictions."
"EBS has lots of application families and lots of features. It is modular in deployment and flexible enough to let the customer increase the built-in capabilities and enable new applications when needed. These are very important things at hand in case there will be a need to expand the product capabilities and/or implement new projects."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good."
"The most valuable features are that it's more flexible than other ERPs available on the market, and it is very easy for users to learn and for business processes to be configured."
"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."
"Unit4 Business World's most valuable feature is flexibility. Its dashboards are easy."
"The Unit4 ERP product is very flexible and can be configured to fit most business processes."
"The product's self-service capabilities have benefited our organization."
"Unit4 Business World is a reliable product."
"Unit4 Business World is a reliable product."
"Agresso includes a set of reporting and analytic tools that can be used to create a variety of reports unlike traditional ERP."
"The financial features are the most valuable because we did not have good financial software and our organization had been growing."
"We try not to do customization, but we do configuration, and the configuration is extremely flexible with many options for integrations as well."
 

Cons

"The mobile apps, I think, are the up and coming thing for us. To make it easier for people to do things on the go."
"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."
"It's not really an ordering system; it's not friendly, for that matter."
"The solution needs to be updated with modern technology as it currently runs on the Java platform, JRE, which is obsolete and requires you to use an NPAPI-supported browser to run the tool."
"For smaller ERP solutions, Oracle EBS is a complex solution which has complex requirements."
"HRMS analyzers should be automatically updated to be the most recent because Oracle support always asks for the latest version of the analyzer output."
"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."
"The level of technical support depends on who you get. Sometimes they'll lag along and we have to keep prodding them and babysit the ticket."
"Limited industries covered - Agresso lacks some key modules"
"For people on-premise, customer service is not great. During these 12 years, the quality of support has been a significant issue."
"I would like to see direct communication support to engage with clients. The parent company should have a direct relationship with clients. Also, the tool's licensing, upgrade, and maintenance costs should be reduced."
"Reporting and analytics features must be improved."
"I would like to see more flexibility in the customization for us to be able to customize it based on the client's requirements."
"I would like to see more flexibility in the customization for us to be able to customize it based on the client's requirements."
"For people on-premise, customer service is not great. During these 12 years, the quality of support has been a significant issue."
"Well, the commercial section is the worst in this company (0/10), al menos in our case."
