James Balbach - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quick implementation brings comprehensive workflow management and efficient regulation handling
One of the major advantages of QAD Cloud ERP is related to the easy and quick implementation that I have found the most valuable. The entire application of QAD Cloud ERP itself is very valuable for my customers. My impression of the advanced supply chain management feature in QAD Cloud ERP is that it's a very comfortable tool and, if rightly configured, it really helps the business to have clear visibility of the entire supply chain. My impression of the compliance management in QAD Cloud ERP is that it has reduced many overheads of doing manual compliance, and it is quite easily manageable; it is connected with the regulatory authorities, making it a fantastic tool. The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The system is very stable."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's most valuable feature is the information that it provides. For example, it's good to know the AR due date and the receipt of the products that you have sold. It is a good solution overall for enterprise management."
"The order management is excellent."
"This solution offers customization. You'll have the ability to change and add your custom solutions and integrate them with the standard ones."
"Technical support is good."
"It can easily be developed into an application."
"The procure-to-pay is core to our business and relevant to us."
"What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it. In the Indian market, the subscription solutions aren't that suitable, even in terms of the complexity of the regulations, taxes, etc., so that's why we had to go for an on-premise solution that's hosted on the cloud, and we're happy with Oracle E-Business Suite. We also like that Oracle E-Business Suite is quite flexible, and we've also built some bolt-ons and they're working fine."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
"The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
 

Cons

"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 is difficult to get answers from technical support right away."
"We don't like Oracle EBS because it is very old. Nowadays, all the systems are on the cloud and web-based. With Oracle EBS, you need a huge setup before installing it. You need a lot of servers. There are a lot of problems and bugs in the system. We have to move from Oracle EBS to another system. In terms of improvements, it can have better training for end users and better support."
"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."
"The solution needs to be updated with modern technology as it currently runs on the Java platform, JWE, which is obsolete and requires you to need an API supported browser."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's stability could be improved as they have a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."
"Reporting is a big area for improvement. It needs to provide the ability to extract data from the suite. Oracle has also been making a great effort to make E-Business Suite more user-friendly but there are still areas where a focus on User Experience would help."
"We would like to see some automation in this solution."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
"They could improve by moving away from the architecture of Progress 4GL as currently they are undergoing a very drastic change by redoing the entire application with Java and web-based technologies, projected to be released by 2026 with the incorporation of analytics, process intelligence, and AI to help business users."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite is too high."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"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."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. There is an initial cost, and the standard fee is 22% per year."
"USD $100,000 annually."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"It costs too much."
