"The customer gets a better cost calculation and an integrated system between departments."

"I like that one system covers everything."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle E-Business Suite are best practices, built-in processes, and easy configuration. Plenty of system functionality and customization."
"I think one of the best use cases is centralizing supplier and customer data into our finance system. We identified there were so many duplicate suppliers and customers and so a lot of time was spent reporting."
"The most valuable features are the financial-related capabilities."
"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."
"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"Movement of CIP Inventory cannot be monitored in Inventory module when we are using the CIP Account or movement of CIP Inventory in Asset module, which is not flexible like Inventory module."
"Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers."
"It's difficult for some customers to understand in the beginning. A user really has to understand the processes."
"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."
"It is difficult to get answers from technical support right away."
"More flexibility in configuration related to the Payroll module, in order to easily implement the local legislation."
"I would say the integration needs improvement. Oracle needs to work on the integration layer to make the solution much more robust and modern."
"One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system."
