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 is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"The navigation is user-friendly and the management-related dashboards provide excellent functionality."
"It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
"Oracle ERP Cloud provides our management a real-time view of operations."
"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."
"Transforms the finance function with a smart, agile solution implementation."
"I like the tool’s customization."
"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."
"I like its modern approach. It is very modern and new technology."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the feature called Financial Closing Cockpit. This feature allows us to monitor our accounting and processing closely."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business ByDesign is it has a streamlined design."
"I find the tool’s every feature valuable."
 

Cons

"We did face some challenges during the implementation of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. Certain requirements were not met by the standard functionality, so we had to customize and build custom applications on top of the solution. But overall, I think it stacks up well as a standard product."
"The interface could be improved in future releases."
"The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."
"If you go for the real-time process, the patch of work and the time to update the product will be too much."
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"All the time the standard packages like Oracle Applications may not meet those manual processes."
"The solution could benefit from improvements in project management, project execution, and project costing, especially for industries like construction."
"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."
"The database needs to be more customizable."
"Scalability is difficult."
"The Arabic localization is neglected. It should have an Arabic interface. It lacks Arabic translation or support from right to left."
"ByDesign could be improved by making screen modifications easier."
"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 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."
"There might be some hurdles when integrating with SAP ECC, but integration with SAP S/4HANA Cloud is smooth."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution."
"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 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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable in the global market"
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"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 price of the solution could be better. They have to come up with a new strategy."
"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."
"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."
