Has a simple interface, is easy to use, and has good stability
It's really easy to use and has a simple interface.  The networking could use improvement.  One to three years. Stability is good.  Scalability is just fine. We have fifty users, most of them are admin roles.  Their technical support is very good. They are very helpful. The initial setup was…

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

"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."
"The flexibility in configuration is this product’s most valuable feature."
"Do it."
"Poor user experience."
"The advanced scheduler helps to ensure proper staffing."
"Technical side: The level of detail (building blocks) in configuration (setup) makes it scalable and secure on a functional level, as well as on a data level."
"The on-premise is very similar to the cloud version."
"The most valuable feature from our experience with E-Business Suite is definitely its ease of use."
"Oracle EBS adapts to our business rules, so we don't have to change them, whereas SAP is rigid. We need to change our business rules to implement SAP. Oracle's reporting is also excellent and it's easier for our technical team to customize the solution compared to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and other products."
"It's a very comprehensive solution that enables us to manage customers, customer service, finances, projects, HR, and other business operations."
"The new Subledger Accounting feature is very strong."
"In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it for large businesses."
"Technical support is good."
"The integration of all the various modules is definitely the most valuable feature for us."
 

Cons

"The setup was complex."
"Customer Service: 3/10 Technical Support: I would give technical support a rating of 3/10. A lot of the time, their technical support person did not understand the issue."
"Licenses are expensive."
"Poor user experience. Web based, but requires old version of Java on the desktop which is a security nightmare."
"The networking could use improvement."
"Current challenges with Oracle E-Business Suite include certain modules such as Property Manager, which has faced difficulties especially after IFRS 16 was introduced in 2021."
"It is not a good idea to use this old system nowadays. It is deprecated. Choose more modern system."
"We actually have an additional outside system to do our annual reports; that's how bad it is."
"The implementation can take quite a bit of time."
"It's not easy for people without technical knowledge to understand how to implement it."
"Oracle tends to be slower when it comes to bringing flashy functionalities than other, smaller entities can deliver."
"There are no short-forms used in EBS on the mobile app and tablets, and increasing that will help because now everyone carries their tablets and handheld devices and you don’t need to go back to your seat to do anything if you are in the store or warehouse."
"For smaller ERP solutions, Oracle EBS is a complex solution which has complex requirements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"It costs too much."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"The pricing of the solution is at about $700-$750 per year."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly. Additionally, support is an extra cost. The price of the solution could be reduced."
