Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very consistent product on IBM. There is also a lot of knowledge data.""E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database.""The customer gets a better cost calculation and an integrated system between departments.""Payroll and online benefits enrollment""It is scalable.""Very flexible in terms of configurations and it's capable of integrations.""Finance, HRMS, and payroll are all great, and Oracle EBS is fantastic.""The most valuable features are the financial-related capabilities."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Pros →

"My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules.""The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure.""I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt.""I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features.""Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution.""The scalability is very good.""The user interface is the best feature.""Oracle ERP delivers business processes."

Cons
"The simplicity of the user experience needs to be improved tremendously.""I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation.""A downside of Oracle E-Business Suite is its interface because it's less user-friendly than the latest cloud solutions. As an organization, Oracle now has more interest in cloud applications, so nowadays, it doesn't focus much on Oracle E-Business Suite, an on-premises solution, so this is another downside.""On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive.""If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals.""Administration takes some effort. Administrating the technology stack is not so complex but application aware database administration and following the new methodologies like online patching can be a little complex and time consuming. Oracle should ease the administrators jobs and do some innovation on this administration area as well. Oracle Autonomous Database is Oracle's leading technology these days. Using a similar approach, application stack may become a little more self-managing.""Oracle E-Business Suite could improve the tables. When we remove some of them sometimes they cloud the modules into one. It becomes a little difficult to segregate.""HRMS analyzers should be automatically updated to be the most recent because Oracle support always asks for the latest version of the analyzer output."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Cons →

"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved.""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.""There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear.""The interface could be improved in future releases.""Improve support services in the new features roadmap.""We have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based.""Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined.""UI is not very presentable for a cloud 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. “

    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. Oracle Cloud ERP introduces machine-learning to predictive planning and forecasting so you can utilize broader datasets, reveal hidden bias, uncover significant deviations, and speed your overall response time.

  • Automate and eliminate your manual business processes

    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.
