Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."This is a world-class application that includes a lot of business processes from other ERPs that Oracle has acquired."
"There is essentially one solution for every industry within Oracle — you won't require a third-party solution."
"Has good dashboard and drill-down features."
"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
"Valuable features include Ledger and Subsidiary, Operating Unit, and Inventory Organization and Location."
"The technical support for the solution was very good."
"As we have been using this for the past nine years we have had the opportunity to explore the product. Really everything has worked well and all the modules are very good."
"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 valuable feature of SAP ERP is that everything is connected and under one roof, creating a unified system."
"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the integration. It can be seamlessly integrated across the board."
"Overall the solution is very good in the industry."
"The solution has far more features, processes, and functionalities than we previously had."
"The solution can easily be standardized across processes."
"We like that we have real-time dashboard views."
"It has a lot of integrity of data, and it is fast. All the users feel that they can trust this data. So, data integrity is the most important value of SAP."
"It gives us full control over each change, to the level of the individual field in a master record, including certificates."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good. It is quite simple but powerful. Similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
"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."
"The system alerts could be improved."
"The solution needs to be updated with modern technology as it currently runs on the Java platform, JWE, which is obsolete and requires you to need an API supported browser."
"The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing processes."
"It's difficult for some customers to understand in the beginning. A user really has to understand the processes."
"It would be nice to have more web services."
"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."
"The issue of frequently applying patches and updates to fix bugs. Oracle should improve upon this issue, especially since it happens too frequently."
"I do not have any notes for improvements."
"It was not designed to service all industries."
"Reporting is why most companies need to acquire business intelligence add-on solutions, and when it comes to SAP ERP, they could improve the reporting graphical representation of the data."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"The product can be a little slow when dealing with thousands of employee data."
"It is very expensive to customize to meet compliance with regulations in some countries."
"This solution could be made more user-friendly for development teams."
"It should be less complex. It should also have better integration capability. I am using the ACC version, and in this version, the integration and the communication are very difficult and complicated."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution."
