"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"The most valuable features of Epicor ERP are ease of use, powerful API, and comprehensive integration. It is a one-vendor solution, where other vendors need other software systems from multiple vendors."
"Its drag-and-drop features make data distribution a breeze."
"The customer gets a better cost calculation and an integrated system between departments."
"This is a world-class application that includes a lot of business processes from other ERPs that Oracle has acquired."
"The technical support for the solution was very good."
"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database."
"You can group them into the BIs, which is business intelligence. You get your own key performance indicators and build your own reports or you could have your own screens, and it changes in real time."
"The procure-to-pay is core to our business and relevant to us."
"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"There are some enhancements in the process itself that is needed in the application. In the cloud version, they covered some of these areas and requirements but the on-premise version has to catch up."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement.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."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago."
"It is still a little outdated as far as what we consider a twenty-first century software. You're still using Oracle forms, that sort of thing."
"In the future, Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by having a better UI. Competitors are providing much better interfaces."
"Oracle is not keeping up on development of the on-premises version of this product as they are concentrating on cloud solutions."
"Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers."
