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.

The self-service helps increase employee loyalty
The reporting could use some improvement. It doesn't shorten the data that it displays to the employee. At the moment you have to scroll through all of the results in order to find what you are looking for. Another improvement that should be implemented in the next release is the appraisal. For the appraisal model, we have to go to another solution because the one included is not supporting us in our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"On-Time Payroll and its features are user-friendly."
"It immediately resolved an issue we had because, as a spin-off company, we were operating on a transitional service agreement and had to get off the previous systems."
"Financial and asset management features are valuable."
"It has improved the way we worked; everything is now on a very well-centered database."
"It has improved our organization by enabling us to move from manual to automatic processes, meaning that our clients can focus on analysis instead of transactions and dealing with a lot of paperwork."
"Shipment planning using Oracle Transportation Management has helped for: Accurate freight estimation Faster and accurate route planning Tracking shipments to ensure on time delivery Improving the customer experience."
"Great finance modules and customization."
"Technical support from Oracle has always been great; we have never faced any issues when it comes to anything related to technical support from Oracle, and there have been times when they went the extra mile to support us."
"This solution increases the employees' loyalty to the organization since everything regarding their salary, health, insurance, etc. is there, and the employees can also check to see what activity is done on their files."
 

Cons

"We seem to be constantly applying patches and updates to fix bugs. Oracle should really improve upon this issue, especially since it happens so frequently."
"They need to make the interface a little more slick. It's form-based, so loading of the forms is pretty annoying."
"It is still a little outdated as far as what we consider a twenty-first century software. You're still using Oracle forms, that sort of thing."
"I would like to see more automation."
"We have project contracts for government customers, and that has been a little bit tougher to implement, because I don't think Oracle has a lot of clients on that."
"The technical support is good, although sometimes it is very difficult to get an answer from them right away."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses. I heard that this is a common complaint throughout the market for these sorts of solutions."
"One of the major issues is that the solution has a high price."
"The reporting could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is at about $700-$750 per year."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"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."
"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."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
"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."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
