We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's usability is straightforward.""I have found the solution has many valuable features such as a user-friendly mobile platform, notification settings, and the ability to do many customizations.""The three most crucial pieces are the financial modules, the banking module, and the management module."

More 3i Infotech ORION Pros →

"Very flexible in terms of configurations and it's capable of integrations.""Technical support is good.""It can be an essential solution for those who can not just push to the cloud because they have critical data restrictions.""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.""It provides a well-centered database that is feature rich.""Oracle E-Business Suite is a stable product.""The solution has other core processes that can be implemented with customers according to their needs.""Valuable features include Ledger and Subsidiary, Operating Unit, and Inventory Organization and Location."

Cons
"The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved.""Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution.""The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added."

More 3i Infotech ORION Cons →

"Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago.""Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements.""It should be made a little bit more user friendly. When I complete my implementation and hand it over to the clients or the person who will operate it on a day-to-day basis, they find it a little bit difficult because they are not from a highly qualified IT background. I want Oracle to make it a little bit more user friendly.""Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement. My team is still getting used to the solution, so there could still be some features that have not been enabled or features my team isn't aware of yet. There have been issues with the Treasury module of Oracle E-Business Suite, so this is another area for improvement. My company hasn't decided yet on whether to implement the Treasury module or just go with another solution. Another room for improvement in Oracle E-Business Suite is the design, as it needs to be optimized based on usage patterns. What I'd like added in the next release of Oracle E-Business Suite is the time attribute. The solution still has dashboards being rolled out, so the time attribute could already be there or is still in the process of implementation. I also didn't find much use for the Projects module based on my company's requirements. The integration of Oracle E-Business Suite with the rest of the Oracle tools isn't very tight as well, but it could be because of customizations here in India, where the integrations work seamlessly everywhere, except in India. You'll find gaps because of customizations in India which are very, very irritating. For example, if a procurement is moving in the system then all the data has to move from one module to the other, but in the Oracle E-Business Suite Procurement module, you'll notice breaks or gaps that require you to manually transfer that data, so I'd like this improved in the next release of the solution.""It's very dependent on integration with other products,.""Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based.""Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates.""The integration features of the tool on on-premises weren't that great, making it an area where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of the solution is fair compared to competitors."
  • "The solution is moderately priced. The licensing cost is around sixty thousand USD for annual maintenance. If you're using an application-specific license, it is a little cheaper. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
  • "I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. Customizations can cost you extra money."
  • More 3i Infotech ORION Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Find a best Oracle partner and get a better discount."
  • "Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
  • "It costs too much."
  • "The pricing is high."
  • "In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
  • "Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
  • "USD $100,000 annually."
  • "Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."

    Reviews from Real Users:

    Kopano R., Freelancer at a tech services company, says, “What I found most valuable in Oracle E-Business Suite is the patching because it is straightforward. As long as you follow Oracle's best practices, you are able to finish the task of patching without a problem. I like that it's also easy to add products, e.g. if you want to add on financials, you can, or if you don't have financials, you can expand on that. I like that Oracle E-Business Suite is really scalable.”

    Mohammed G., Senior Oracle Application Consultant at a comms service provider, writes, “Oracle E-Business Suite consists of a lot of streams, such as financial and HR processes of the enterprise companies. We are using most of the Oracle financial modules, and we have an Oracle stream, FI procurement stream, and HR streams, which have a lot of applications. Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good. “
