Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

Microsoft Dynamics GP and Oracle E-Business Suite are competing in the enterprise resource planning solutions category. Microsoft Dynamics GP is favored for pricing and support, while Oracle E-Business Suite stands out for its comprehensive feature set.

Features: Microsoft Dynamics GP offers financial management, inventory control, and business intelligence features. On the other hand, Oracle E-Business Suite provides supply chain management, human capital management, and customer relationship management capabilities. Oracle E-Business Suite's broader range of features makes it ideal for large businesses, whereas Dynamics GP is suitable for small to mid-sized companies.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Dynamics GP could expand its feature set to cater to larger enterprises and improve integration with third-party applications. It also needs enhanced global compliance features. Oracle E-Business Suite could benefit from simplified deployment processes, better customization tools for non-technical users, and cost reduction strategies.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Dynamics GP is recognized for easier deployment options and responsive support, with cloud and on-premises choices. Oracle E-Business Suite's complex deployment can result in longer implementation times due to the need for intricate integrations, although it offers strong customer service.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Dynamics GP generally requires lower initial setup costs and offers a quicker return on investment, appealing to more budget-conscious businesses. In contrast, Oracle E-Business Suite needs a higher upfront investment but delivers greater long-term value through its advanced capabilities.

Offers great integration capabilities and allows just the real-time inventory

Dynamics GP improves inventory management by offering real-time inventory tracking, and automated purchase order creation, receiving, and updating inventory levels. It facilitates site-to-site transfers and allocation tracking, enabling efficient stock management across locations. The integration capability of Dynamics GP, combined with Power Platform, has transformed our business processes. We now use PowerApps to enable salesmen to send orders electronically, eliminating the need for order books. Additionally, we developed HR apps to streamline tasks for our staff, leading to automated processes and improved efficiency. Our experience with Dynamics GP reporting and analytics features, particularly Advanced Analysis, has been great. We utilize customized smart lists for purchasing and other functions, allowing for tailored insights over specific periods. Additionally, we have developed custom dashboards for enhanced visibility and support portal integration. I wouldn't recommend Dynamics GP due to its legacy status and impending end of support. However, if integration with the Power Platform is crucial and the company prioritizes modernization, it could still be a viable option. For new companies, I would suggest considering Dynamics 365 Business Central for a more modern solution. Overall, I would rate Dynamics GP as a seven out of ten.

Centralizes our enterprise-wide functions but could benefit from cloud migration

We have dealt with customer service, and it was awful. For a system this size, it felt like we were merely buying software from them. They weren't really partnered with us on it. Reporting bugs and getting feedback, as well as having engineers work on issues, was very transactional. There was no real ownership on Oracle's part. During several support cases, it became difficult to determine ownership at Oracle and get status updates. The on-premises Oracle support is not great in my experience, and I think this is true in the industry. We've read about their software as a solution, and theoretically, their SaaS portal support is a lot better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability was reliable."

"Snowflake's ability to handle large queries efficiently is very beneficial, unlike other databases which can take a significant amount of time for similar tasks."

"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."

"It is strong in integration."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Snowflake's ability to handle large queries efficiently is very beneficial, unlike other databases which can take a significant amount of time for similar tasks."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

"Microsoft Dynamics GP has strong out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, and its integration with Office 365, Power Apps, and Power Platform provides great additional benefits, helping deliver better experiences to employees and customers."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP pros

"This is a world-class application that includes a lot of business processes from other ERPs that Oracle has acquired."

"The order management is excellent."

"I would definitely recommend Oracle E-Business Suite to other people."

"I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments. It also has the decision and internet sale order, and my customers can correct the internet decision. It automatically converts to the internet order, and they don't need to create the entry object. They don't need to make a secondary ledger in the parent company and subsidiary. That's very helpful for internet decisions. If they get an order at the parent company, it automatically creates the sales system in the subsidiary."

"The initial setup is easy."

"The financial module has excellent features that many find valuable, while the HCM module is also highly regarded."

"The solution is good for small businesses."

"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."

More Oracle E-Business Suite pros

Cons

"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."

"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."

"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."

"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."

"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."

"At times, navigating the user console can be challenging, particularly when trying to find account information."

"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."

"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP cons

"I would say the integration needs improvement. Oracle needs to work on the integration layer to make the solution much more robust and modern."

"The initial setup is complex."

"It's not easy for people without technical knowledge to understand how to implement it."

"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."

"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."

"It's more expensive than other options due to licensing costs and core-based hardware."

"Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement. My team is still getting used to the solution, so there could still be some features that have not been enabled or features my team isn't aware of yet. There have been issues with the Treasury module of Oracle E-Business Suite, so this is another area for improvement. My company hasn't decided yet on whether to implement the Treasury module or just go with another solution. Another room for improvement in Oracle E-Business Suite is the design, as it needs to be optimized based on usage patterns. What I'd like added in the next release of Oracle E-Business Suite is the time attribute. The solution still has dashboards being rolled out, so the time attribute could already be there or is still in the process of implementation. I also didn't find much use for the Projects module based on my company's requirements. The integration of Oracle E-Business Suite with the rest of the Oracle tools isn't very tight as well, but it could be because of customizations here in India, where the integrations work seamlessly everywhere, except in India. You'll find gaps because of customizations in India which are very, very irritating. For example, if a procurement is moving in the system then all the data has to move from one module to the other, but in the Oracle E-Business Suite Procurement module, you'll notice breaks or gaps that require you to manually transfer that data, so I'd like this improved in the next release of the solution."

"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."

More Oracle E-Business Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is steep."

"It is an affordable solution."

"I would say that the pricing is moderate, not cheap, and not expensive. There are many more expensive ERPs than GP, and there are less expensive as well, so it is moderately priced."

"For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."

"I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."

"In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."

"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."

"We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."

"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."

"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."

"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."

"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."

"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."

"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."

"Pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is seven out of ten. You must pay extra for maintenance and technical support, apart from standard license fees."

"The price of the solution is extremely high."

Reviews from Real Users:

Kopano R., Freelancer at a tech services company, says, “What I found most valuable in Oracle E-Business Suite is the patching because it is straightforward. As long as you follow Oracle's best practices, you are able to finish the task of patching without a problem. I like that it's also easy to add products, e.g. if you want to add on financials, you can, or if you don't have financials, you can expand on that. I like that Oracle E-Business Suite is really scalable.”

Mohammed G., Senior Oracle Application Consultant at a comms service provider, writes, “Oracle E-Business Suite consists of a lot of streams, such as financial and HR processes of the enterprise companies. We are using most of the Oracle financial modules, and we have an Oracle stream, FI procurement stream, and HR streams, which have a lot of applications. Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good. “
