Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
5.1
Organizations report a 2.5 to 5-year ROI with Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, highlighting value despite initial costs.
Sentiment score
6.0
SAP S/4HANA provides strong long-term ROI by streamlining operations and reducing costs, particularly benefiting larger companies.
Recently, major banks and companies are moving to Fusion because of its value.
It's not a matter of the solution; it's a matter of the clients and the approach that we follow.
If we can maximize that, we can get the full price benefit of the solution.
We have observed a good return on investment, with calculations based on a five-year ROI plan.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
3.4
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's customer service is improving but faces challenges with complex issues and requires enhanced prioritization and expertise.
Sentiment score
6.5
SAP S/4HANA support receives mixed reviews, with satisfaction influenced by service contracts and partner involvement, highlighting response variability.
The quality of service providers varies by region, causing delays in resolutions.
A traditional challenge with SAP support is that SAP teams only support the standard functions, which are part of the product.
Establishing the right channels was a challenge, as BTP was new to everyone, including our SAP contacts.
I would rate the support a ten because there are a lot of knowledge-based articles published, and most of them are available online.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.3
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP scales well, offering robust integration, flexibility, and effective self-service options for expanding organizations.
Sentiment score
7.9
SAP S/4HANA is scalable for medium to large enterprises, offering cloud flexibility but potentially overwhelming for smaller companies.
SAP S/4HANA scales exceptionally well.
It is very easy to scale within businesses, especially when a new business falls within the range.
Scalability is a key strength of SAP, especially for HANA, compared to all the other ERPs.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
5.5
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP offers high stability and efficient data management, with reliable support and minimal system-related issues.
Sentiment score
7.7
SAP S/4HANA is generally stable with high ratings, dependent on implementation, infrastructure, skilled teams, and hardware setup.
The solution is very scalable.
The SAP HANA system is not very easy to unlock, and it's something strange as, compared to other databases, when transaction logs are full, you stop the system, run the transaction log backups, and then restart.
Not very often, but it can happen, especially with user load; if many people use the system at the same time, there might be issues depending on various factors.
I rate the stability of SAP S_4HANA as fairly stable because we have never experienced any downtime from SAP, and the performance is good.
 

Room For Improvement

Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP needs improvements in UI, integration, pricing clarity, security, flexibility, and regional localization for better usability.
SAP S/4HANA needs interface improvements, simplified customization, better integration, and enhanced usability to address cost, complexity, and migration challenges.
Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job.
Organizations face challenges like adapting to new technologies rapidly, and whether customers are early or late adopters influences their experience.
I can perform a lot of data manipulation directly on SAP using S-One, without having to resort to Excel, unlike with View ID.
The performance of the SAP interface could be improved.
 

Setup Cost

Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP is costly but competitive for larger enterprises; pricing varies by user count and selected modules.
SAP S/4HANA is costly for SMBs, with variable licensing and setup fees, often requiring negotiation, plus annual maintenance costs.
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP might be considered expensive, especially in Pakistan due to conversion rates.
It's higher compared to similar peer solutions.
Most users or IT professionals typically criticize the high price of SAP license costs.
It's not easy to have a clear understanding of the price and the value, especially if I talk about the business transaction platform.
 

Valuable Features

Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP combines flexibility, ROI, and usability with robust features, real-time analytics, and seamless integration for enterprise management.
SAP S/4HANA offers a user-friendly interface, real-time analytics, seamless integration, and industry-specific functionalities, improving efficiency and scalability.
With Oracle ODA, users can simply chat with the system to enter expenses and Oracle AI performs processes automatically, saving time for customers.
The functionality-wise features or functions of Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP that I find most valuable depend totally on the client.
It enables the posting of transactions and allows us to see the impact across various application scenarios, providing significant benefits for business.
The way SAP has helped our customers is by establishing a discipline where industry-specific operations and SAP's standard processes work hand in hand, improving resource utilization, material movement control, and cost control.
The insights given help us make strategic decisions.

Featured Reviews

Muhammad Umair Siddiqui - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Deepak Madhavan - PeerSpot reviewer
Implementation simplifies ERP management with comprehensive data integration and visibility
A lot of people would say the pricing. SAP is seen as quite expensive even now. It doesn't work for smaller or medium optimizations. The licensing and pricing could be looked at. In Brownfield migration, the trade-off between greenfield and brownfield means you either keep it clean or match the business requirements. Sometimes, it's not possible to do both. While ValixAPI provides significant support in making those decisions and the SAP consultant is very useful, we are still dependent on past history and how it was originally set up. I wouldn't call that a real disadvantage, yet more accessible consulting would be beneficial. Incorporating all other cloud products, like APO or IPP, into the S/4 house might also help.
