The PIN reduces the possibility of somebody coming in who doesn’t have the credentials, to actually get into the system.

What is most valuable?

The security is the most valuable feature. If you didn't have the PIN, you can’t actually get into the system, to work. It reduces the possibility of somebody coming in who doesn’t have the credentials, to actually get into the system. I think the security is probably the most essential part of it.

How has it helped my organization?

As I’ve mentioned, the security prevents the possibility of someone coming in without having the credentials and getting into our system.

What needs improvement?

For some reason, we had a problem: We gave PINs out to everybody and for some people, the PIN didn't actually work for some reason. We never really found out why, and we went away from the PIN because we had a lot of our functional areas that were complaining. The technical area, where we work at, we didn't have a problem. The functional areas were having problems.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We had issues as we added more users. That was the problem. We rolled it out with just the security staff, the IT staff, and then we rolled it out to the end users. That's when we ran into problems. They were having problems.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing this product, I did not evaluate other options. By that point, when we went to Oracle, Oracle was our host, we were just taking everything they were offering; we were just jumping on it. Now, we're using Sierra-Cedar.

What other advice do I have?

Conduct a little more due diligence before rolling it out; not necessarily roll it out with the technical staff first. Roll it out to the end users, and see what kind of reaction you get from them. You can always come back to the technical. We have more security than anybody else anyway. Roll it out with the end users first.

I have rated highly because I didn't have any problems. I felt really good, because I know nobody could actually access my system without my PIN. As far as university-wide, I would not rate it as highly, because a lot of the end users were having issues. They were critical parts, like student financials, which is a very critical part of the university. When they were having problems, they couldn't get on the system. We had to override it, and it got to the point where it wasn't worth it. We had to continually override it. What's the point of having it, if you have to override it?

The financial features are pretty good. We have been using it since 2005.

Valuable Features:

The financial features are pretty good. The users love them.

Room for Improvement:

The finance users would like to be able to drill down into all of the details. Right now, we have to consider third-party software for drilling down.

Use of Solution:

We have been using it since 2005, 11 years.

Stability Issues:

It has never crashed.

Scalability Issues:

We have made some customizations. It has totally met the needs for the financial department.

Initial Setup:

Initial setup is complex. We hired an outside consultant to do the implementation for us.

Other Solutions Considered:

We chose Oracle because we think it is a big, stable company. We don’t want to find ourselves down the road, and the company is suddenly gone and we are left without any support.

Other Advice:

This Oracle product is definitely good for at least mid-size companies. For smaller companies, it's too expensive. For bigger companies, it's very good.

Top 5
A stable solution that has a very strong, powerful, and secure database
Pros and Cons
  • "I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
  • "You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud."

What is our primary use case?

Oracle ERP Cloud has a very strong, powerful, and secure database. It is one of the premium choices of the customer when they want to go for a secure database. Oracle has its own local platform called Oracle Apex. I used Oracle ERP Cloud as an ERP platform to build a lot of applications for big e-commerce applications like PepsiCo and other companies.

What is most valuable?

I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt.

What needs improvement?

You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle ERP Cloud for around six to seven months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Oracle ERP Cloud a nine out of ten for stability.

How was the initial setup?

Oracle ERP Cloud's installation depends upon what kind of feature you are installing or setting up, but its initial setup is pretty easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle ERP Cloud is not a cheap solution. I rate Oracle ERP Cloud a seven out of ten for its pricing.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Oracle ERP Cloud to other users.

Overall, I rate Oracle ERP Cloud a nine out of ten.

Real-time reporting is quite handy but the expenses mobile app is glitchy
Pros and Cons
  • "Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
  • "The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."

What is our primary use case?

Our company works with customers in the finance domain who use the solution for recording financial transactions. 

What is most valuable?

Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy. 

Invoice scanning and one-time payment processing are valuable.

What needs improvement?

The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version for the same user and single log-in. We have asked Oracle to look into this issue. 

Additional features could be added to the invoice scanning tool.

Navigation is not simple so configurations are time consuming until you get used to the format. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution has stable performance. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is not swift so should leverage their access level. In the cloud environment, support has access to our system and could pull data instead of asking us to provide diagnostic tests to them. 

How was the initial setup?

The setup is quite easy because you have access to handy features like rapid implementation files, spreadsheets, data migration files, FBDI, and ADFDI. 

Configurations do not take much time once you are used to the navigation. It is quite easy to upload files because templates are provided. 

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the solution in-house. Time for deployment depends on the project scope and features selected. 

What other advice do I have?

It is important to engage end users in the change process as early as possible. Users will be entering source transactions so they need to be at the forefront and should thoroughly familiarize themselves with the system in advance. 

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
