Oracle Practice Lead GGC Countries at Jaffer Business Systems
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

"Oracle ERP delivers business processes."
"Unlike traditional ERPs, where adding a column is customization, personalization is in the tool. OTBI is built-in, providing many pre-delivered reports and dashboards. It's cloud-based, so it's OpEx instead of CapEx. Oracle Integration Cloud Services offers pre-delivered APIs for easy integration with systems like payroll and Salesforce."
"Oracle ERP Cloud has the ability to scale, as it can be used in a small organization or a very large one with no limit on scalability."
"The implementation of all the cloud solutions is very simple, and what it means is that you can have all this solution deployed within a matter of clicks, with faster time to market, faster user experience, and faster happiness of your users."
"The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
"The solution is highly configurable"
"The user interface is the best feature."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP has integrated the best features from various sources. For instance, it incorporates the strengths of HCM from PeopleSoft, PPM from another source and CRM from Salesforce."
"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."
"ByDesign's best features are its speed, real-time data, and reporting."
"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."
"It has a quick implementation and onboarding of users. It is flexible with reports and powerful."
"I like its modern approach. It is very modern and new technology."
"When comparing SAP Business ByDesign to much larger ERP solutions, such as SAP ECC 6.0 or SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business ByDesign is more user-friendly and easier to implement."
"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."
"When we were using it, we did see an immediate benefit, especially in the inventory on consignment issue. We were a biotech pre-revenue company and most of our manufacturing was outsourced. So being able to track inventory within the system without creating a financial impact was very key for us."
 

Cons

"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
"In terms of room for improvement, I believe Oracle can make better enhancements to Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The tool is very expensive in Romania."
"Oracle support for this application is not up to the standard."
"We have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based."
"The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."
"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."
"SAP Business ByDesign can improve the flexibility and user-friendliness of the reporting during the implementations. Customizing the reports inside the device requires a lot of knowledge and most of the time a developer level is needed. For example, if you want to have a more specific reporting layout."
"Scalability is difficult."
"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."
"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."
"ByDesign could be improved by making screen modifications easier."
"The solution could improve the stability. It is approximately 60% stable."

"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"It is too costly."

"We have to pay yearly."
"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."
"The cost starts anywhere between fifty thousand dollars and up depending on the number of licenses."
"Everything is included in the licensing cost of the solution. However, they use a per-user model for additional charges."
"The price of SAP Business ByDesign is less expensive than SAP S/4HANA. However, the price is on par with other similar competitors, such as Microsoft."
