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 SaaS model certainly saves you costs and improves profitability."
"I really like the cloud feature; you can save lots of costs in comparison with an in-house solution, the solution is scalable and very stable, and you don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure or the system backup."
"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."
"ERP Cloud is a core financial accounting system and is the backbone of all the financial reporting in our organization."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"The solution has helped us integrate all of our data from the company and this has given us a direction where to make improvements."
"The user interface is the best feature."
"Specifically, from a back office systems perspective – storing from financials or from manufacturing systems, or to store an order to cash process – it is a complete suite; end-to-end application."
"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."
"I like its modern approach. It is very modern and new technology."
"The standard system is stable."
"ByDesign's best features are its speed, real-time data, and reporting."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business ByDesign is it has a streamlined design."
"The stability has been great, and compared to other products that I have used before, they have been doing really well with stability."
"The most helpful feature is the integrations. Integrating the tool with SAP S/4HANA Cloud is easy, facilitating implementation and deployment. The runtime analysis checks for real-time analytics to see if the software works properly. This is a powerful feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"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."
"I have noticed over the last 10 years Oracle's quality of technical support has decreased."
"The tool is very expensive in Romania."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities."
"Especially on the CRM side, the CRM modules are a bit weak compared to the financials."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting capability. To use it properly, you need intensive IT support. You cannot write your own reports."
"The Purchase to Pay process could benefit from further sophistication and additional functionality. It would be helpful for the user community to receive clearer information about the future roadmap of the business. Unfortunately, there were some confusing articles in the German press towards the end of last year about the future of SAP Business ByDesign. Therefore, more clarity is needed in the support function to address this."
"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."
"The solution does not support customization for forms and reports. It's not flexible in case you need some enhancements in business processes."
"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."
"Scalability is difficult."
"Scalability can be an issue. That is why SAP Business ByDesign needs to be more customizable and more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"The pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"The price of the solution is expensive. There are additional costs associated with this particular case that must be taken into consideration when calculating the overall expense. These costs may include but are not limited to, additional materials, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the course of the project. It is important to note that these additional costs may exceed the initial pricing estimate."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"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."
"The tool’s pricing is expensive."
"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 price of the solution could be better. They have to come up with a new strategy."
"I rate the price of SAP Business ByDesign a seven out of ten."
"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."
