Migration to a modern interface enhances AI integration and cloud capabilities
Presently, Oracle recommends migrating to Oracle Fusion since it's a hot product now. e-Business Suite may soon be sunsetted and has an outdated UI, with few upgrades. In contrast, Oracle Fusion offers modern features, such as AI, cloud-based applications, and customization options like Redwood features. Oracle Fusion AI chatbots are embedded, benefiting projects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle recommends moving to Oracle Fusion as they are constantly releasing new AI, modern, web-based, and cloud-based features with updated UI. With Redwood customization and AI chatbots embedded, Oracle Fusion stands ahead of older systems."
"We can advise any enterprise organization to use this product because you can trust this product."
"The most valuable feature is the structure of the product. We use Oracle Fusion Middleware to manage the Oracle database. Registered users can go to each product if sign-on credentials match each user's identical framework."
"Data integrity."
"One good thing, which is a little bit common across all middleware products, is that you can build asynchronous as well as synchronous processes. The SOA part is where it can maintain your state for any state-full integrations. If you have failures, you can replay all that, which is a good part."
"I rate my overall experience with Oracle Fusion Middleware as nine out of ten points."
"Fusion Middleware's main feature for me is that it is quite flexible, and, as middleware, it provides us with all sorts of technology and application adapters, which makes it very handy to use."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The products offers EE support."
 

Cons

"One thing that I would like to see is if this product can be containerized. We are moving away from virtual servers and moving more towards containerization to be able to quickly set up environments or have the flexibility of scaling them. It would be good if it can be containerized, and it works well in containerized platforms."
"All areas of HCM modules could use some improvement."
"The documentation might not be good enough for new users."
"Oracle Fusion Middleware is based on the regulations in Saudi Arabia and the legislation changes. There is a need to be improvements all the time. It needs to adapt quickly in this market. Additionally, there could be some improvements in the construction sector."
"Oracle rapidly releases new features, and I may not be ready to adopt them."
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten because we did have multiple breakdowns and crashes."
"An improvement for Oracle's Fusion Middleware could definitely be found in the SOA component. It's a heavyweight container and, if you ask me, if a product is available as a docker image where we can easily port it in to another Kubernetes platform, that would be perfect. But as for the current situation in the market, nobody is really willing to deploy this on premises."
"The main improvement must be made on the user interface."
"I would like to see integration with MQ systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. We are looking for a cheaper solution."
"The tool is best suited for large companies due to high licensing costs."
"The pricing is moderate. It's fine."
"The solution is quite expensive so is only used by larger organizations."
"The solution is expensive so pricing is rated a six out of ten."
"We pay annually for the solution."
"My advice is to buy the basic modules first, gain the most benefit from them, then buy the advanced modules."
"The licensing costs are reasonable."
