Provides time-saving solutions for small business payrolls
I would say, relative to another payroll solution, running payroll with Gusto probably costs half the price and saves us 5 to 10 hours a month. I would say Gusto is a really good payroll solution for small businesses. Running payroll with Gusto costs half the price and saves us 5 to 10 hours a month. My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review. I rated Gusto 9 out of 10 because of some customer support issues that kept it from being a 10.

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

"I like the payroll part. We also use documents and forms whenever we hire, such as a new hire form for each state, and we like that as well."
"I appreciated the templates that they offered for new hires and onboarding."
"Gusto is a really good payroll solution for small businesses."
"We used QuickBooks before Gusto; we switched because Gusto is much easier, and it also is used for payroll as an HR IT solution with multiple uses."
"I think the most value I have gotten from Gusto has been the interface, as it's very simple to use and it's very easy to understand."
"This is an enormous product and it's our ERP system; it pretty much performs all of our accounting transactions and is the single source of truth for all our financial statements."
"As we have been using this for the past nine years we have had the opportunity to explore the product. Really everything has worked well and all the modules are very good."
"It is quite stable."
"Very flexible in terms of configurations and it's capable of integrations."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive."
"The reporting capabilities keep us from having to run every report for our users as they can go in and run the reports themselves."
"It can be an essential solution for those who can not just push to the cloud because they have critical data restrictions."
"What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it."
 

Cons

"Their enrollment e-signature, enrollment forms, and other documents need a lot of work."
"Their enrollment e-signature, enrollment forms, and other documents need a lot of work. Once we fill in the information, we cannot go back and change any of that. It's a time-taking process. If there is any mistake in the document and if we need to go and change a specific field in the form, it's not possible. We have to redo the entire form."
"In the beginning, their support was top-notch. And then around the beginning of 2022, and end of 2021, their support tanked. We used to get responses in the beginning within one to two business days, and towards the end, we were getting responses in one to two business weeks."
"The integration is not so good."
"My experience with Gusto's customer support sometimes shows they're not responsive, and they have definitely made mistakes in the past."
"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."
"The EBS Design to some extent is still monolithic."
"The user interface could be better; it's not good because they made their interface all in one, and my customers don't want to use it."
"I'd like to get BI integrated into the transactional system and not just the Data Mart. We've been having issues with making that happen."
"Movement of CIP Inventory cannot be monitored in Inventory module when we are using the CIP Account or movement of CIP Inventory in Asset module, which is not flexible like Inventory module."
"The integration features of the tool on on-premises weren't that great, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation."
"Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
