We performed a comparison between Oracle E-Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The complete product suite is good. The financials are good, it is the best product I've been working with is Oracle Financial. Supply chain manufacturing is very comprehensive and the connectivity, between all the modules, is seamless. They are all communicated well with one another."
"I have found the solution to have a good interface, security, and is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are straight-through processing because we need to make sure that we have a good end-to-end process."
"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"An integrated platform with an easy of integration to a third-party system."
"The on-premises solution has maturity in features but also flex fields."
"The system is reliable and the backbone of financial and other core systems in many organizations worldwide."
"EBS has lots of application families and lots of features. It is modular in deployment and flexible enough to let the customer increase the built-in capabilities and enable new applications when needed. These are very important things at hand in case there will be a need to expand the product capabilities and/or implement new projects."
"The solution's most valuable features are performance and processes."
"It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool."
"The most valuable feature is the perfect end-to-end integration."
"The solution's new UI called Fiori is user friendly."
"S/4HANA is so much faster today than it was before. High performance is one of the best features, but the backbone of S/4HANA is its integration capabilities. They've also shifted to a focus on user experience."
"The speed of executing reports has increased significantly. We no longer need day-minus-one business processing."
"SAP S/4HANA is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"Oracle is not keeping up on development of the on-premises version of this product as they are concentrating on cloud solutions."
"There are some cycles in HR that are not straightforward."
"We need more user-friendly fast formulas for all HRMS modules."
"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"The interface is pretty old."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's stability could be improved as they have a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."
"The user interface could be better. It's not good because they made their interface all in one, and my customers don't want to use it. I have to customize the interface and personalize it to hide some fields on the screen. It has lots of information on the screen, and the user can't easily navigate it. It's very difficult to use. I think that Oracle should have something like best practices. They need to provide some patches to simplify the interface based on the industry niche. Because now we see everything on the same screen, but the users don't need all that information. It's complicated to use for end-users, and we have to spend more time training them. In the next release, I think they should implement most of the features in the mobile app. It should be better. Oracle didn't update their mobile application for a very long time. Connecting the mobile application is complicated."
"They should have a nicer way to handle very high volumes of data because we deal with really high volumes, and sometimes, we end up with performance issues."
"The procure-to-pay solution in the Contract Management angle could be better. If you look at it on Ariba, the Contract Management Life Cycle for Ariba is more robust. You can create documentation, SLAs, and NDAs. Apart from the procurement aspect of the contract, you have the legal side, but Ariba cannot do that. From what I've seen, the features of the procure-to-pay model in S/4HANA and their Contract Life Cycle Management side primarily focus on the procurement side. I believe it would be good if this solution could handle a part of the legal side. They will incorporate Extended Warehouse Management and Transportation Management into the S/4HANA cloud. Most big companies that use a solution like S/4HANA have a legal department within the organization. Suppose they can incorporate that to be in S/4HANA suites; I think it'll be good. It will be just like what we have with Transportation Management and Extended Warehouse Management. The user interface could be better. They have too much information on the interface, and our customers still keep complaining that it looks complex. Even though many things have changed, they still complain that the interface or the screen they see is a bit complex. It's only when they see the Fiori interface that their mind becomes a bit calm."
"I'm not a big fan of SAP S/4HANA because it needs a lot of hardware. It is really fast, but it needs a lot of hardware. The hardware for S/4HANA is too expensive."
"Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."
"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
"The Capex and Opex could be improved."
"In an upcoming release, it would be beneficial to have more practical intelligence in the system, such as protective maintenance, or artificial intelligence."
"SAP S4HANA could improve by having a more seamless easier integration, faster integration. The overall implementation timelines should be reduced."
"The integration could be made a little simpler in terms of design and implementation."
