Cons
"The solution should improve its performance.""Odoo’s asset management, supply chain, and advanced manufacturing should be improved.""Odoo's automation and workflow design tools could be better. It has some limitations compared to other ERP solutions like SAP. You should have the option to design workflows in order using BPM diagrams and tools that make it more versatile in terms of adapting to any workflow through low code.""The authorization management needs to be improved.""Odoo has room for improvement in industry-specific features.""The solution's reporting could be improved.""Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify.""It's too early to make a definitive statement about Odoo as we are currently in the implementation stages. Once the implementation is complete and the system is up and running, we'll be able to provide feedback on its effectiveness and suitability for our needs. The implementation is very straightforward, and the system is easy to operate, similar to working with a spreadsheet. If there's one thing that could significantly enhance the system, it would be incorporating more AI capabilities."

More Odoo Cons →

"The user interface is not completely a web interface, it uses a lot of traffic which costs too much for a large number of users scattered throughout the country as they connect from their terminals to do their tasks.""Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based.""It would be great to see Oracle E-Business Suite become less dependent on the SAO solution, which is an integration solution for Oracle platforms.""It is still a little outdated as far as what we consider a twenty-first century software.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.""I would like to see more automation.""Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates.""If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals.""The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing processes."

    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. “
