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.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Due to the integration, we can just access just one software for AP, GL, PO, AR, and everything just integrates together."
"To do this before on paper basis, it was very time consuming, and now they can use the gained time to properly manage their workforce."
"Oracle EBS tightly integrates with Oracle Database, and I think that's the most valuable thing."
"The most valuable features are that it's more flexible than other ERPs available on the market, and it is very easy for users to learn and for business processes to be configured."
"Oracle EBS adapts to our business rules, so we don't have to change them, whereas SAP is rigid."
"We can drill down from the sales order line to the invoice and payment at the detailed level."
"At our various customers, the software tends to pay for itself in less than two years."
"Valuable features include Ledger and Subsidiary, Operating Unit, and Inventory Organization and Location."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good; it is quite simple but powerful, and similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
 

Cons

"Although I don't have daily, hands-on work with E-Business Suite, I know that my colleagues are concerned with its reporting and dashboarding abilities. They'd like better reporting on data and dashboard functionalities."
"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."
"There are no short-forms used in EBS on the mobile app and tablets, and increasing that will help because now everyone carries their tablets and handheld devices and you don’t need to go back to your seat to do anything if you are in the store or warehouse."
"Oracle implementations are complex and require that the customer understands, and reviews their business processes."
"They need to improve on their turnaround time on the Sev 2 and Sev 3 service requests."
"I think that is a weakness that E-Business is really more like a module that connects things than a complete solution."
"My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is not to go with Oracle if you don't have much knowledge about it."
"The support site is the only bad thing I've seen with Oracle. Unless you type in the exact right words, you don't get the right answers."
