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.

"Scalability is one of the main features of Oracle's Cloud Services."
"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."
"It has a quick implementation and onboarding of users. It is flexible with reports and powerful."
"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 valuable feature of SAP Business ByDesign is it has a streamlined design."
"The most valuable features of Business ByDesign are the integration of its modules, analytics, and dashboards."
"ByDesign's best features are its speed, real-time data, and reporting."
"I like the tool’s customization."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution should implement improvements with AI technology. Specifically, in the realm of ERP tools, this can be particularly beneficial, not only for cloud-based systems but for all types of tools. Additionally, a highly desirable feature is the ability to work offline."
"Their methodology of implementation is very rigid."
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"Oracle should offer a platter system rather than module-based licensing, similar to what SAP offers, allowing customers to implement only what they need without separate module licenses."
"There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement."
"Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer."
"The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."
"The Arabic localization is neglected. It should have an Arabic interface. It lacks Arabic translation or support from right to left."
"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."
"There might be some hurdles when integrating with SAP ECC, but integration with SAP S/4HANA Cloud is smooth."
"Scalability can be an issue. That is why SAP Business ByDesign needs to be more customizable and more flexible."
"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."
"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."
"The database needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"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."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"The tool’s price must be improved."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is reasonable and recommended for medium-sized enterprises. It might be a bit expensive for smaller businesses, but it is a good product if they have sufficient users."

"The price of the solution could be better. They have to come up with a new strategy."

"We have to pay yearly."
"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 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 tool’s pricing is expensive."
"The pricing depends on company size. It's cheaper for small companies and more expensive for large ones."
