The sales and distribution modules are robust, and reliable, and seldom encounter issues
In GP, there are certain features like financial reporting that aren't part of the core GP package. Users might need to install additional components for these features. For example, there's a reseller product called Management Reporter, but many users would prefer to have the reporting capabilities integrated within GP itself, rather than relying on external tools. The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools. Additionally, you might be aware that in 2028, GP is expected to reach its end of life. Microsoft has already ceased selling GP to new customers. It's essentially the same product, but this marks the final year for GP's availability.

AI automation saves time and simplifies financial processes
The data entry process is very time-consuming. Without using options like ODA, manually entering data in the GLS screen or Oracle invoices is a time-consuming job. The screens could be improved, as a lot of mouse clicks are required, and multiple fields need to be entered. Although it has a workaround with spreadsheets, the screen interface could be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance is good."
"The stability is very good."
"Dynamics AX provides a lot of functionality."
"AX is nearly a Tier One product, so implementations are long, but there's a lot of flexibility. Also, the ability to handle different issues found in larger organizations."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its workflow for purchase orders and inventory."
"Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"We're using the solution for financial modules, specifically focusing on consolidation, financial configuration, management reporting for warehousing, sales. Most of the features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are good. The overall structure and functions are great. The solution is stable. The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"The solution is user-friendly with a good integration layer."
"It fosters adoption of a shared services center model."
"The solution is highly configurable"
"The navigation is user-friendly and the management-related dashboards provide excellent functionality."

Cons

"The older version of Microsoft Dynamics AX that we are using is not as scalable as the newer version."
"There is no Arabic interface in Microsoft Business Central, which is a big weak point."
"I would never recommend moving to an obsolete product that cannot get support."
"At times there are issues related to reporting, sometimes with the integration between two or three modules, and sometimes to the logic itself."
"The solution in general just needs a few quality improvements."
"It is being decommissioned."
"The integration could improve for the future."
"There might be some features to support localizations that could be helpful to add."
"I would like to improve the tool’s budgeting and reporting. I know that Oracle is working on the tool’s analytics part so I expect the analytical feature in its future releases."
"The tool must enable users to customize the reports."
"It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens."
"Improve support services in the new features roadmap."
"If you go for the real-time process, the patch of work and the time to update the product will be too much."
"The data entry process is very time-consuming."
"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP's interface needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing model is based on user subscription. The pricing needs to be reduced for the Indian and South Asian markets."
"It is not the cheapest solution, but it is also not the most expensive one. It's in between and is cheaper than SAP but more expensive than other local vendors. It is worth the cost."
"In relation to the cloud, it might be expensive for a longer duration. However, it's essential to consider the demands of enterprise users. While it's cost-effective in the short run, it becomes relatively costly in the long run."
"It is $180 to $200 per user per month with a minimum of 20 users, which makes selling the product a bit difficult."
"The solution is expensive."
"Licensing is stable, and overall, the users are satisfied with it."
"One license costs $1,000."
"The price of the solution could benefit from being less expensive."
"It is too costly."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The price of the solution is expensive. There are additional costs associated with this particular case that must be taken into consideration when calculating the overall expense. These costs may include but are not limited to, additional materials, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the course of the project. It is important to note that these additional costs may exceed the initial pricing estimate."
"We pay additional costs to a consulting company."
"The solution is expensive and there are some services that are extra costs."
"For an ERP Cloud, the pricing is relatively high."
"The product pricing is based on a per-user model. It is expensive."
"We have an annual license with Oracle, however if we need additional features we do pay for them."
