Featured Reviews

Automation has transformed complex contract lifecycles and now supports high-volume workflows
The only drawback of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is that it does not work for small-scale business areas because I have implemented it for one customer with four or five pages of templates and three to four record types. For that small business, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) does not work well because it is a bit complicated. Sometimes all customers need is a click of a button to go in and do things, and Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a bit complicated for such kinds of businesses. There are definitely areas where Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be easier to use for smaller businesses, particularly making processes more streamlined and user-friendly.

Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization because I can store the terms and conditions between the two parties in the template, and I can share product-related data with the two parties to store prices and other relevant information."
"The best feature of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is the versioning capability because you can see the updates and everybody can see the changes."
"Because of these processes, the customer can send out thousands of contracts in one go instead of creating them and having a lot of people appointed to do this job, and it is a one-person job now."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization as it is faster compared to others."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of efficiency and visibility."
"A 25% to 40% reduction in standard agreements is what we have achieved, and the centralized repository also improved the reporting on contract renewals and expiration and helped the team to identify and address those bottlenecks more quickly."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization by making the contract lifecycle easier for customers when quotes get created."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has delivered measurable improvements in both time and cost savings for our organization, significantly reducing manual processing time, shortening contract turnaround times from days to hours, minimizing compliance risk, and improving overall operational efficiency and resource utilization."
"I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments. It also has the decision and internet sale order, and my customers can correct the internet decision. It automatically converts to the internet order, and they don't need to create the entry object. They don't need to make a secondary ledger in the parent company and subsidiary. That's very helpful for internet decisions. If they get an order at the parent company, it automatically creates the sales system in the subsidiary."
"We haven't had any issues in the last eight years at least."
"Overall, this is a good product I totally recommend it."
"It makes financial operations easier to perform."
"It was very easy to integrate the product into our existing infrastructure."
"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has contributed to cost reduction in specific areas for customers who transition from using multiple legacy systems in silos, helping reduce costs, decrease employee working time, and minimize duplicate jobs."
 

Cons

"I have not used Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) deeply, but I know that document generation still has some improvements that need to be implemented."
"I chose a rating of seven out of ten because there are many areas for improvement for Conga; it is not a complete solution yet."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has too much customization, making it not that easy to scale it up and scale it out."
"The only drawback of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is that it does not work for small-scale business areas because I have implemented it for one customer with four or five pages of templates and three to four record types."
"Template management could be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes I feel that the generation of templates in Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is slow or it breaks somewhere."
"I see one blind spot for Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) in that additional logic features depending upon user types and customer types would be helpful."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can be improved because implementation can be complex, and the loading process could be enhanced."
"It's not easy for people without technical knowledge to understand how to implement it."
"Performance issues and handling of financial data could be improved."
"Organizational restructuring is a horrible process and very difficult in EBS."
"In Oracle E-Business Suite, there should be a proper document flow for each transaction."
"We don't like Oracle EBS because it is very old. Nowadays, all the systems are on the cloud and web-based. With Oracle EBS, you need a huge setup before installing it. You need a lot of servers. There are a lot of problems and bugs in the system. We have to move from Oracle EBS to another system. In terms of improvements, it can have better training for end users and better support."
"Oracle has improved a lot because Oracle E-Business Suite is quite outdated. Oracle built the Oracle Fusion platform and it has many improved processes. We registered a few enhancements requests, but it's a very long bureaucratic process with Oracle. It doesn't make any sense to communicate with Oracle about what changes should be made to the system."
"Oracle E-Business Suite could improve the tables. When we remove some of them sometimes they cloud the modules into one. It becomes a little difficult to segregate."
"Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing and costing of Oracle EBS is very complex. We recommend to use a system integrator during the negotiation process since Oracle sales representatives sometime do not know the actual minimum requirements and may oversell the necessary licenses through ignorance."
"USD $100,000 annually."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
