Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."Flexible to set up an organization with multiple locations."
"Its drag-and-drop features make data distribution a breeze."
"I have found the solution to have a good interface, security, and is user-friendly."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is flexible. Its rich functionality can work in any client environment or business."
"What we like about Oracle E-Business Suite is that we didn't find any issues with it. In the Indian market, the subscription solutions aren't that suitable, even in terms of the complexity of the regulations, taxes, etc., so that's why we had to go for an on-premise solution that's hosted on the cloud, and we're happy with Oracle E-Business Suite. We also like that Oracle E-Business Suite is quite flexible, and we've also built some bolt-ons and they're working fine."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good."
"E-Business Suite's best features are the standard process, the table dictionary, and the ability to work with the SQL language to correlate data."
"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."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
"The finance solution and procurement functionalities are good."
"One of the things I like about it is its well-integrated and secure nature."
"SAP S4HANA has good performance and has allowed us to combine our systems."
"S4HANA is very scalable - we use it across seven or eight factories, and everything is running fine."
"The solution's new UI called Fiori is user friendly."
"A user-friendly UI with good documentation."
"From a technological point of view, the in-memory database is one of the key highlights."
"S4HANA is relatively stable."
"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."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"Reporting is a big area for improvement. It needs to provide the ability to extract data from the suite. Oracle has also been making a great effort to make E-Business Suite more user-friendly but there are still areas where a focus on User Experience would help."
"We expect Oracle to go into continuous innovation mode and provide simplified integration solutions."
"The on-premises version of this solution can be difficult to expand, compared to its cloud version. The on-premises version is also more limited, versus the cloud version that has a lot of improvements. Maintaining this solution is also too costly."
"It's very dependent on integration with other products,."
"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."
"It requires training before you can easily use this product, so it should be easier to use."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
"In a feature release, they could improve by adding budgetary features."
"The difficulty level of the initial setup depends on the person's skills. If you know the basic knowledge of the database, then it will be easy, otherwise, it will be very difficult."
"The resource usage could be improved - it's memory-hungry, so mid-range servers struggle to run it."
"We found that the implementing partners themselves are struggling with S4HANA's features. It's not an exact translation of the older ECC, so SAP has taken a new route to do things with S4HANA. Maybe it's a good product, but the implementing partners also like to have an in-depth understanding of the full feature set the product offers."
"The solution is complex technically because both an old and a new path exist."
"This is a costly solution."
"The solution could have a better user experience. However, they are working a lot on the user experience and they have come up with various applications, such as mobile applications. This was lacking over the last two years."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for regular users and developers."
