AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.

Valuable features enhance sales and service capabilities while performance improvements are needed
We received a few complaints about the slowness in SAP Business ByDesign last year, so I think SAP can focus on improving performance, particularly when it becomes slow during data saving and handling. My feedback about the modular architecture and customized features of SAP Business ByDesign is that it is only good, but we have not explored much on this one. The initial setup for SAP Business ByDesign was complex. One disadvantage was that we had the legacy system, SAP Business One, and we could not migrate our data to SAP Business ByDesign. They should have provided a migration path.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"It offers real-time analytics through Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence, which helps build analytical reports on the data model. It also has Fusion Intelligence, a data warehouse integrated with the database that offers real-time data integration and prebuilt analytical reporting. These are standard features of the product."
"The user interface is the best feature."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"We use ERP Cloud for managing finances, HCM expenses, procurement, etc. It's a full enterprise resource solution."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer."
"Oracle ERP delivers business processes."
"The solution saves time and money."
"I have found the consolidation of the business and group reports very useful, there are plenty of features, and the manufacturing and finance aspect of the solution are strong."
"I like the tool’s customization."
"SAP Business ByDesign is connected to our S/4 HANA system, and we have developed some APIs which help us integrate the system with S/4 HANA."
"The most valuable features of SAP Business ByDesign are customer invoicing and cost and revenue, from which I get the data for my project reports."
"The standard system is stable."
"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."
"I find the tool’s every feature valuable."
"Now we can know our available stock; this visibility enables us to make better resource and supply chain operations decisions as well as better financial decisions."
 

Cons

"Especially on the CRM side, the CRM modules are a bit weak compared to the financials."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"I would like to improve the tool’s budgeting and reporting. I know that Oracle is working on the tool’s analytics part so I expect the analytical feature in its future releases."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability."
"I have noticed over the last 10 years Oracle's quality of technical support has decreased."
"All the time the standard packages like Oracle Applications may not meet those manual processes."
"Technical support is not swift so should leverage their access level."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"SAP Business ByDesign is a very vast product, but it has to be a bit more centralized. All the models need to be more centralized for a better experience."
"I would say budget controlling needs improvement. I mention this because it does not have all the functionalities that we need in terms of managing the budget."
"The payroll module of the solution could improve."
"The database needs to be more customizable."
"I would like the tool’s interface to be better. Currently, we use a client application to access the product. I want that to be replaced with a web version. I would like to improve the tool’s internet availability. I also want the product’s setup to be easier."
"The solution could improve the stability. It is approximately 60% stable."
"There might be some hurdles when integrating with SAP ECC, but integration with SAP S/4HANA Cloud is smooth."
"With SAP S/4HANA, you can design your release strategy and modify it to include as many people as possible, which is missing in SAP Business ByDesign."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In a developing country such as Bangladesh, Oracle ERP Cloud is expensive compared to on-premise solutions, so the turnover is very low. Customers become more comfortable using on-premise services because of the high subscription costs of Oracle ERP Cloud."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"The cost starts anywhere between fifty thousand dollars and up depending on the number of licenses."
"I rate the price of SAP Business ByDesign a seven out of ten."
"The tool’s subscription is yearly. There is no flat pricing involved and everything has a range. Pricing depends on the functionality that you would use. You need to also pay for the additional hosting and maintenance costs."
"The pricing depends on company size. It's cheaper for small companies and more expensive for large ones."
"Everything is included in the licensing cost of the solution. However, they use a per-user model for additional charges."
"We have to pay yearly."
"The price of the solution could be better. They have to come up with a new strategy."
"The tool’s pricing is expensive."
