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.

I like the assignment management and contact management features. I would like them to extend the possibility for functional segregation.
Extending the possibility for functional segregation would allow us to decentralize certain functions between different areas. In our organization, the administration of users (or executives who access the system) is done by an area. The management of executive skills is performed by another area, according to the current Siebel. These roles should not be independent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The new Subledger Accounting feature is very strong."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the ability to go in as a manager or as an individual and do everything in one place, for example, to add, change, or remove a goal."
"A couple of things-- one is the support for the multiple languages, locale, so the internationalization is a valuable feature."
"It has everything in one place, so we can just access one piece of software for payables, GL, PO, projects, and everything just integrates together, helping us reduce data entry, minimize human intervention, save time, and ultimately save money."
"It's an all-in-one solution for corporate companies."
"I would definitely recommend Oracle E-Business Suite to other people."
"We've seen a lot more cohesiveness in our organization since we started using EBS."
"I would definitely encourage anybody to start using the E-Business Suite as an ERP solution."
"As far as CRM's go, it's a very flexible solution, and we're able to customize the business rules with code and to integrate it with middleware applications to manage the rules externally."
"It provides end to end customer management, from marketing all the way to support, meaning you also have sales, product management, literature, asset management, opportunity analysis, maintenance SLA compliance, and support, with all the common features present on modern CRMs including phone sync and email merge capabilities."
"Data migration, data deduplication, and application flexibility with respect to business rules are valuable features."
"I found that this product had the ability to meet our business needs."
"With the implementation of the assignment manager, we are now able to automate assignment rules that we previously had in hard, and this feature allows us greater flexibility when incorporating new assignment rules."
"Being a single source of information, this provides an authoritative source of information."
 

Cons

"Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements."
"User interface is outdated and not user friendly."
"They should include database functionality."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement. My team is still getting used to the solution, so there could still be some features that have not been enabled or features my team isn't aware of yet. There have been issues with the Treasury module of Oracle E-Business Suite, so this is another area for improvement. My company hasn't decided yet on whether to implement the Treasury module or just go with another solution. Another room for improvement in Oracle E-Business Suite is the design, as it needs to be optimized based on usage patterns. What I'd like added in the next release of Oracle E-Business Suite is the time attribute. The solution still has dashboards being rolled out, so the time attribute could already be there or is still in the process of implementation. I also didn't find much use for the Projects module based on my company's requirements. The integration of Oracle E-Business Suite with the rest of the Oracle tools isn't very tight as well, but it could be because of customizations here in India, where the integrations work seamlessly everywhere, except in India. You'll find gaps because of customizations in India which are very, very irritating. For example, if a procurement is moving in the system then all the data has to move from one module to the other, but in the Oracle E-Business Suite Procurement module, you'll notice breaks or gaps that require you to manually transfer that data, so I'd like this improved in the next release of the solution."
"The implementation took a long time but it was for many reasons. However, Oracle made sure that the solution and systems were up and running."
"Right now, I don’t think the version that we are using supports mobile devices."
"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."
"A lot more automation can be brought into E-Business Suite."
"The initial setup was complex. The degree of parameterization required for the initial setup was not made obvious."
"Pricing is very high."
"There were issues, mostly due to the lack of capability of the implementation partner who delivered the solution."
"Business rules for data duplication can be improved."
"It is a very expensive product and data steward module is very complex."
"Deployment is still considered cumbersome and the integrations are quite an expense."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fees for support and licensing should be reduced."
"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's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"E-Business Suite's pricing could be lower."
"This product is more expensive if you compare it to SAP."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"Oracle generally gives a lot of discounts."
"Oracle prices are better in Vietnam and more flexible. If we need to customize something in Oracle, it's very flexible and easy to customize."
