Senior Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
it was (previously) not aesthetically pleasing. It's more user friendly, now. They changed the interface, so there's not so many duplicate screens.
The number one way they improved this product was something called workspaces. This is like a dashboard meant for, depending on your role with a specific organization, so maybe if you're in accounting and financials, you need to see accounts receivable, accounts payable, your general ledger, so you could set up a dashboard for when you first login -- to drill down into the most important parts of your job and requirements with the company that you need visibility into -- rather than having to start from scratch, so you could set up your own dashboard. Macola is user based, so say you have seven primary users in your company, say you have your president, your CFO, your controller, your accounting manager, your IT person, your operations person, and your warehouse manager, you can customize as many as you want, depending on how many users you buy and have each individual dashboard be tailored towards that individual and their job/role with the company.

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

"Whether it's light or heavy manufacturing with bill of materials, traceability, order entry, stuff like that, I mean, that's probably the number one strength of Macola ES, I would say, for light and heavy manufacturing organizations."
"Thanks to Oracle EBS, we can manage all company processes (inventory, manufacturing, logistic and finance) on one platform."
"This is our ERP and we are using it for our entire supply chain flow, i.e., from the start of the billing to the shipping process."
"Its drag-and-drop features make data distribution a breeze."
"Oracle has a low risk in implementation against all other products."
"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
"This software scales very well across various implementations."
"We haven't had any issues in the last eight years at least."
"It provides a well-centered database that is feature rich."
 

Cons

"If you have to call Exact Macola directly as a developer, it's like calling Verizon; you don't know if you're speaking with someone from India, or knows anything about your account, or they're seeing it for the first time."
"The initial upgrade, as I’ve mentioned, took away some of our valuable reports that were in the original Oracle EBS. That was really annoying."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The implementation took a long time but it was for many reasons. However, Oracle made sure that the solution and systems were up and running."
"Oracle is not keeping up on development of the on-premises version of this product as they are concentrating on cloud solutions."
"I’ll mark scalability as 70-30."
"Java continues to be an issue for organizations that are running multiple products."
"Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers."
"Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Oracle prices are better in Vietnam and more flexible. If we need to customize something in Oracle, it's very flexible and easy to customize."
"Find a best Oracle partner and get a better discount."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"Products concerning areas like CRM and ERP should provide value at lesser costs to customers, especially if you consider that the initial cost of implementation is high."
"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
