We performed a comparison between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Oracle E-Business Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like Microsoft Dynamics' simplicity. The interface is excellent, and it's a highly mature product. You can hardly find any bugs in the product."
"The customer support is good. The first level of support agent in every case was able to solve the problem very quickly."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most important feature of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is that it lets us centralize all our information so that we don't need to rely on any other software outside of Microsoft."
"The platform offers a robust and comprehensive cycle for supply chain and inventory management, with features like minimum and maximum settings, dynamic monitoring of inventory levels, and integration with Microsoft's AI capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is its simplicity of accounting and receiving reports. The solution is similar to Microsoft Excel, and that similarity is good. All the functions of Microsoft Dynamics are user-friendly."
"One developer is enough to maintain the solution. Microsoft 365 is changing technology. The product is a user-friendly ERP solution."
"We like the manufacturing and case management modules."
"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."
"Finance, HRMS, and payroll are all great, and Oracle EBS is fantastic."
"Oracle E-Business Suite improves forecast accuracy, reduces costs, and increases manufacturing capacity."
"If I want to manage many parts of my organization, such as finances, proceedings, or supply chain I would typically need to buy many different solutions. However, with Oracle E-Business Suite, it is all that is needed. This ERP system has many modules."
"EBS has lots of application families and lots of features. It is modular in deployment and flexible enough to let the customer increase the built-in capabilities and enable new applications when needed. These are very important things at hand in case there will be a need to expand the product capabilities and/or implement new projects."
"ERP is a valuable feature of this product."
"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."
"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
"I would like to have more frequent updates."
"If Microsoft made some of the security setups a little easier to work with, that would be a significant improvement. The warehouse management features could also use some work. We had to buy third-party software to make NAV's warehouse management and security more usable and functional."
"Some of the control aspects such as auditing can definitely be improved. For example, auditing is not very easy, and the user permissions are complicated."
"The formulas in Power BI could be simpler. Sometimes, it's difficult to figure them out, but I am part of a lot of communities that work with us, so we help each other."
"It would be nice, in Microsoft Teams, if we were able to type more information into the chat."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV will be replaced with Office 365 in the future."
"I work in Pakistan, and many people want desktop solutions. They don't want to work on the cloud. They want a strictly on-premises solution."
"Any request that had come from the website had to go through an e-form which was then plugged into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. There was no direct data capture. That was the pain point, where clients had to build e-forms, and that caused delays in transactions and getting information."
"The initial setup is complex."
"There are some business-specific processes still not implemented."
"The users feel that the product is not user-friendly."
"The UI interface is not great."
"The implementation can take quite a bit of time."
"Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based."
"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."
"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."
