Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The user interface is the best feature.""Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer.""It provides our management a real-time view of operations.""It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything.""The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization.""The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure.""Oracle ERP delivers business processes.""The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."

"It is an integrated application, and it has been working really well. Earlier, there were different companies for different applications for manufacturing, finance controlling, logistics, and quality. It probably was the first fully integrated application. Whenever somebody is entering any data, for example, invoice data or ordering data, everyone with a right to see this data can see it in the system.""It gives us full control over each change, to the level of the individual field in a master record, including certificates.""The architecture of the solution overall is great. It's great for development, testing, and production. I've worked with solutions where the architecture wasn't as strong and it was a disaster.""It has a lot of integrity of data, and it is fast. All the users feel that they can trust this data. So, data integrity is the most important value of SAP.""Finance view across functions is valuable.""The solution can easily be standardized across processes.""The most valuable features of SAP ERP is the flexibility and functionality. It is one of the best ERPs I have seen in the market.""This is a robust solution with a lot of control measures."

Cons
"The interface could be improved in future releases.""It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens.""Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities.""I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI.""I would like to improve the tool’s budgeting and reporting. I know that Oracle is working on the tool’s analytics part so I expect the analytical feature in its future releases.""The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved.""The database is outdated and quite rigid.""In terms of areas for improvement, there are still a lot of other features that need to be incorporated into the future releases of Oracle ERP Cloud. We're hoping those would come soon because they're available in other ERP systems. For example, we used to have a lot of AME customizations in the BPM, but now we have a very limited scope, so it would be great if we could extend our scope. Currently, we are working with product teams to get through some of those solutions, and how we could implement them, so we have some workarounds to deal with, but we still have a long road ahead."

"SAP ERP's initial setup phase needs to be simplified.""This solution could be made more user-friendly for development teams.""The problem for us, we are one company that has seven home markets. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. When we need to configure, modify rules, change policies, or taxes rules, when we move currencies around based on our other financial results, it can get very complicated. When we try to join everything together we have some problems. However, the process good, all of our material and procurement processes are going well. The problem is trying to consolidate the financial reports and this is where I have problems.""It would also help if it were more open, more flexible, with more standard products.""It's very difficult to find people who are well versed in it.""It is on the expensive side.""SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors.""The initial setup is complex."

    Why Customers Choose Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP:

  • Predict, detect, and act on new situations

    No one likes big deltas between forecasts and actuals. Most models though are too limited, relying on sample datasets or just gut feel.

    Spend less time compiling data and more time understanding what it tells you. Whether preparing your narrative for the street or assessing potential M&A activity, Oracle Cloud ERP gives your team more time for strategic work by automating the most time-consuming, mundane business processes. With AI, up to 96% of transactions can be automated.

  • Simplify and speed everyday work

    Oracle’s AI-powered digital assistant simplifies and speeds common tasks, allowing you to ask simple questions like “what’s the status of my open purchase requisitions?” and “what reconciliations are due today?” Personalized tasks like invoices or over-budget notifications are delivered to you proactively, so approvals move faster too.

  • Launch new business models, faster

    Staying ahead of customer trends and emerging competitors gets harder every day. With Oracle cloud ERP, it's easier to identify and launch new business models—and monitor results in real time so you can constantly refine your approach. Paired with machine learning insights like customer churn, you'll predict and avoid problems before they can do harm.
