Oracle E-Business Suite Reviews

Financial, procure to pay, order to cash, inventory management, enterprise asset management, human resources management, and iStore.

We have saved millions of dollars in inventory. Before this system, we did not have integration and every shop was ordering inventory individually, without checking with the other shops.

With eAM (Enterprise Asset Management) we have seen improvements in preventive maintenance, asset tracking, planning, cost analysis for maintenance, and integration of procurement.

Inventory and enterprise asset maintenance.

The iStore could be better.

I give it an eight out of 10 because it required some customization.

I have been involved in many implementation projects. Recently, we implemented the FAH module in a national bank in Costa Rica, and the accounting creation from several core systems was reduced from days to hours.

It is easy to use and has many functions for facilitating day-to-day work (transactionally speaking). There are a lot of reports and queries available. The GL and FAH modules have become real-deal players for an organization with many legacy systems that handle transactions and where there is a need to create accounting from these transactions.

The supplier invoice payment process is very easy and is integrated from the requisition to the payment (and to creating the asset).

I like very much the way we can control inventories.

Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did 20 years ago in version 10.7.

I would rate this solution at nine out of 10 because there is always room for improvement. Oracle E-Business Suite is very customizable, with a lot of interfaces and processes that can be programmed in different ways. It provides a lot of workflow approvals for different business processes and is adaptable and scalable.

I am a functional consultant for e-Business Suite (and training to go to the Cloud). My experience as a functional consultant covers these modules: GL, AP, AR, PO, FA, ENG, OM, INV, WIP, BOM, FAH, CE, CST.

We use it to manage back-office work, financials.

Helped make us compliant and provides a transparent view of our financial system.

• Financial reconciliation
• Reporting

I would like to see more integration with other systems.

We implement Oracle EBS R12.2.5 in various companies, including financial and manufacturing distribution companies. The Oracle solution covers finance, procure to pay, order to cash, and inventory with process manufacturing or discrete manufacturing.

With Oracle EBS, the customer gets a better cost calculation and an integrated system between departments. Oracle EBS also provides the customer with faster financial closing because of its accurate calculations. Customers have previously used local ERP, Acumatica, SAP, and old systems such as FoxPro.

• Ledger and Subsidiary
• Operating Unit
• Inventory Organization and Location
• Subinventory and Bin
  
• In our financial information, we can utilize trial balance on the operating unit level. This feature is very useful for our distribution company.
  

Currently, Oracle is focusing on their Cloud ERP. Since Cloud ERP is being rebuilt from scratch using a different technology, it seems that their on-premise support is slow and unresponsive. This differs with SAP Strategy, whose cloud solution is moving to their on-premise solution.

Used for finances and the HRMS including online annual benefits enrollment. Its drilldown features add value. HTML pages should have better performance.

• Removed paper/spreadsheet time-cards
• Replaced the paper process with electronic online process for annual benefits enrollment, view pay slip online, view W-2 online, etc.
• Able to submit government reports electronically

• Payroll and online benefits enrollment
• Dashboard feature
  
• Drill-down feature

• New hire on-boarding, employee off-boarding, etc. 
• More user-friendly fast formulas for all HRMS modules.
• HRMS analyzers should be automatically updated to be the most recent because Oracle support always asks for the latest version of the analyzer output.

Our primary use case is for HR Operations Maintaining employee master data, payroll, and recruitment are some of the key features which we are mostly relying on the system to provide.

On-Time Payroll and its features are user-friendly. The online solutions a faster response and our business is running smoothly.

Employee Central and the core HR functionality is exciting! Being built around a robust Oracle database, the enhancement and configuration are simple.

All good. So far, we have no major product issues.

We expect Oracle to go into continuous innovation mode and provide simplified integration solutions.

Looking for a comparative study on different solutions available in cloud. Pros and cons, challenges, and benefits of moving from a on-prem solutions to the cloud world. Planning required before starting.

• Better planning
• On time shipments and smart accounting
• An integrated platform with an easy of integration to a third-party system. 

Shipment planning using Oracle Transportation Management has helped for:

• Accurate freight estimation
• Faster and accurate route planning
• Tracking shipments to ensure on time delivery
• Improving the customer experience. 

Analytics, especially in terms of predictable.

More real-time visualizations, in terms of smarter dashboards and reporting competing with the speed of HANA.

The basic collecting of all of the data, and being able to report off of it.

Many efficiencies.

It needs a better user interface; the forms and HTML split would be better if they were consistent.

We haven't had any issues in the last eight years at least.

It has scaled well for our needs.

We're happy with the timeliness and the resolution, after we open a ticket.

Take the time to understand your business, your processes, and the application before you implement. I would also recommend taking some training.
