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

"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."

"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."

"The flexibility in configuration is this product’s most valuable feature."

"Do it."

"We have had a good experience with this solution for 13 years."

"It's a scalable product."

"What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it. In the Indian market, the subscription solutions aren't that suitable, even in terms of the complexity of the regulations, taxes, etc., so that's why we had to go for an on-premise solution that's hosted on the cloud, and we're happy with Oracle E-Business Suite. We also like that Oracle E-Business Suite is quite flexible, and we've also built some bolt-ons and they're working fine."

"The most valuable feature for us is integrity in the sense that the General Ledger module is directly connected with our payables, and our Human Resources is connected with payroll, so it's one unit from HR's perspective, which is very efficient."

"Oracle E-Business Suite is a scalable solution."

"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."

"The most valuable features of Oracle EBS are its ease of use, integration capabilities, and the General Ledger reporting, including the FSG reporting."

"Basically, the most valuable feature is the suite; basically, your integration between APAR, PO, fixed assets."

Cons

"The networking could use improvement."

"Poor user experience. Web based, but requires old version of Java on the desktop which is a security nightmare."

"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."

"The setup was complex."

"Licenses are expensive."

"There are always some bugs and missing patches."

"If you upgrade to 12.2.4, you're going to get iProcurement problems in abundance; it's going to keep you employed for the rest of your life."

"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."

"The deployment of the Oracle E-Business Suite was simple. I have done many deployments and I find it simple, but for others, it might not be easy."

"The biggest area for improvement would be in the area of user adoption. After we did our first upgrade and went through the whole process, our users hated Oracle."

"User interface is outdated and not user friendly."

"We have some glitches. We have some application server memory issues that generate huge Java dump files."

"The document that supports the Oracle E-Business Suite regarding the installation and upgrading is long compared to other products and needs to be enhanced."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."

"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."

"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."

"Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price."

"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."

"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."

"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."

"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."

"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
