Md. Mazharul Islam - PeerSpot reviewer
Incharge Corporate Accounts & ERP System at General Pharmaceuticals Limited.
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.

Offers extensive features for efficient operations in small to midsize businesses
The solution is very good. However, for very small companies, maybe a cloud service is better. Other software like QuickBooks may work well if you do not have many employees and require simple invoicing and inventory. This software, though, is a bit more advanced compared to QuickBooks, offering flexibility, multi-user capability, and options for application development. It connects directly to the database for reporting or external systems, which is beneficial for companies needing more advanced features. However, if I need a very complex system, Sage might not be suitable. Overall, I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very scalable, and it will grow as my company grows."
"A couple of things-- one is the support for the multiple languages, locale, so the internationalization is a valuable feature."
"Technical support is good."
"It essentially runs our business, from our financials to manufacturing to supply-chain to planning instances."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's most valuable feature is the information that it provides."
"Oracle EBS is a mature product; it fills many needs and is a gate to doing customization, as there is a need for custom solutions."
"The extensibility that we've needed over the past several years is the most valuable feature for us."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
"The technical support is very good."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
"Regarding the cost, it is cheap. I pay a one-time fee instead of a monthly license fee per user."
"The warehouse module is imperative in keeping our records up-to-date because we have multiple locations."
 

Cons

"If you upgrade to 12.2.4, you're going to get iProcurement problems in abundance; it's going to keep you employed for the rest of your life."
"The implementation can take quite a bit of time."
"The main challenge has been the annual maintenance cost."
"Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago."
"There are some enhancements in the process itself that is needed in the application. In the cloud version, they covered some of these areas and requirements but the on-premise version has to catch up."
"Performance issues and handling of financial data could be improved."
"Support could be improved."
"I would like to see improvement in the overall UI."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"Updating incorrect information takes a specific process to correctly back out the error to fix it."
"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"This is a highly-priced application and would not be affordable for small or medium business domains."
"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 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."
"Oracle's pricing is on the higher end."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"The pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite is too high."
"The pricing is reasonable."
