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

"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."
"To begin with, Oracle Financials is especially valuable, as it helps us day-to-day manage our cash flow and manage our fixed assets, plus even getting proper reporting done because we did not have a proper system previously."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The financial features are pretty good."
"The solution is highly configurable"
"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."
"It has a quick implementation and onboarding of users. It is flexible with reports and powerful."
"It could be used for any financial use case; production companies can use it, wholesale distributors can use it, and any professional services company can use it."
"The standard system is stable."
"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."
"I find the tool’s every feature valuable."
"I like its modern approach. It is very modern and new technology."
"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."
 

Cons

"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"Getting support from Oracle, especially related to this product, is a bit tough, very tough."
"One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."
"The solution could benefit from improvements in project management, project execution, and project costing, especially for industries like construction."
"All the time the standard packages like Oracle Applications may not meet those manual processes."
"We had to override it, and it got to the point where it wasn't worth it."
"There are two main areas for improvement. First, the licensing and pricing model confuses customers, especially after going live. Different components like EPM, ERP, and OIC are charged differently. Second, the manufacturing functionality needs more maturity, especially for non-process-based manufacturing. We've raised this with Oracle, and they've acknowledged it. They might address it in future patches."
"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 Arabic localization is neglected. It should have an Arabic interface. It lacks Arabic translation or support from right to left."
"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 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."
"The solution could improve the stability. It is approximately 60% stable."
"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."
"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."
"The payroll module of the solution could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is average compared to other vendors. The licensing is on a yearly basis depending on the subscription pattern. There are no extra costs apart from licensing."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"It is too costly."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The tool’s pricing is expensive."
"The pricing depends on company size. It's cheaper for small companies and more expensive for large ones."
"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."
"I rate the price of SAP Business ByDesign a seven out of ten."
"The price of the solution could be better. They have to come up with a new strategy."
"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."
"We have to pay yearly."
