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 solution is user-friendly with a good integration layer."
"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."
"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."
"We use ERP Cloud for managing finances, HCM expenses, procurement, etc. It's a full enterprise resource solution."
"Oracle has proprietary cloud technology and provides high levels of technology and security."
"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."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"The embedded AI is very beneficial for automations, and it provides a lot of help to customers."
"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 have found the consolidation of the business and group reports very useful, there are plenty of features, and the manufacturing and finance aspect of the solution are strong."
"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 like its modern approach. It is very modern and new technology."
"I like the tool’s customization."
"The most valuable feature is the feature called Financial Closing Cockpit. This feature allows us to monitor our accounting and processing closely."
"I find the tool’s every feature valuable."
 

Cons

"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"As an ERP solution, the design concept is complicated due to the fact that it will manage almost everything regarding the business operations."
"Their methodology of implementation is very rigid."
"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."
"For economically weak countries, the solution's price appears expensive"
"Oracle support for this application is not up to the standard."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
"All the time the standard packages like Oracle Applications may not meet those manual processes."
"Scalability can be an issue. That is why SAP Business ByDesign needs to be more customizable and more flexible."
"There might be some hurdles when integrating with SAP ECC, but integration with SAP S/4HANA Cloud is smooth."
"The solution could improve the stability. It is approximately 60% stable."
"The payroll module of the solution could improve."
"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 database needs to be more customizable."
"The solution does not support customization for forms and reports. It's not flexible in case you need some enhancements in business processes."
"Scalability is difficult."
 

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 pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud is on par with other top solutions."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is on the expensive side."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"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."
"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 SAP Business ByDesign is less expensive than SAP S/4HANA. However, the price is on par with other similar competitors, such as Microsoft."
"We have to pay yearly."
"Everything is included in the licensing cost of the solution. However, they use a per-user model for additional charges."
"I rate the price of SAP Business ByDesign a seven out of ten."
"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."
"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."
