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

"Very flexible in terms of configurations and it's capable of integrations."
"Oracle EBS is scalable, the flexibility is there to setup an organization with multiple locations."
"Valuable features include Ledger and Subsidiary, Operating Unit, and Inventory Organization and Location."
"Basically if somebody comes to me like a young millennial says, "Okay, should I learn APEX?" the short answer for me is, "Yes.""
"Overall, this is a good product I totally recommend it."
"It is scalable."
"This software scales very well across various implementations."
"Their great technical support is one of the most valuable features."
"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

"The on-premises version of this solution can be difficult to expand, compared to its cloud version. The on-premises version is also more limited, versus the cloud version that has a lot of improvements. Maintaining this solution is also too costly."
"Oracle is not keeping up on development of the on-premises version of this product as they are concentrating on cloud solutions."
"Technical support is not the best and we have to keep pushing. There have been a lot of times when we keep calling to get prompt support or escalations to a manager in order to get better support."
"Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing."
"The stability is really 50/50 right now. It could be issues with certain pages or data, or it could be a training issue on our end."
"I would say the integration needs improvement. Oracle needs to work on the integration layer to make the solution much more robust and modern."
"Oracle implementations are complex and require that the customer understands, and reviews their business processes."
"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 reporting could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have found the solution overall to be expensive. There are additional fees on top of the standard license."
"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."
"The price of the solution is extremely high."
"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
