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

"It's an all-in-one solution for corporate companies."
"It's a scalable product."
"It was very easy to integrate the product into our existing infrastructure."
"The most valuable features for us are the abilities it provides for us to generate our financial statements and to develop our own customized reports exactly how we want."
"Oracle is the best solution, I would recommend this solution to others."
"An integrated platform with an easy of integration to a third-party system."
"In terms of financials, a 4x growth in revenue since the first implementation was possible by having world-class business software like Oracle E-Business Suite."
"It is quite stable."
"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

"They need to make the interface a little more slick. It's form-based, so loading of the forms is pretty annoying."
"Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based."
"Typically when we do conversions from Oracle forms applications, oracle forms is quite good with that multi row update and that in the past has been a weakness with APEX."
"It doesn't make any sense to communicate with Oracle about what changes should be made to the system."
"In my current scenario, I would not recommend EBS for anyone. It is better to purchase a cloud solution rather than having this one."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"In SAP, when customization or work is done in an instance, it can be automatically copied to the production instance. Such automation would be a very good future addition to Oracle."
"The interface is pretty old."
"The reporting could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Products concerning areas like CRM and ERP should provide value at lesser costs to customers, especially if you consider that the initial cost of implementation is high."
"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."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"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."
"Oracle's licenses are not straightforward."
