Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live.""Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations.""The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production.""It is a scalable solution."

"E-Business Suite's best features are BAT functionality, flexibility, configurability, and integration with Oracle Database.""Its drag-and-drop features make data distribution a breeze.""ERP is a valuable feature of this product.""Flexible to set up an organization with multiple locations.""The integration of the various modules is definitely the most valuable feature for us. Our clients being business-minded, which involves customers and suppliers.""The most valuable feature is its flexibility.""Oracle EBS adapts to our business rules, so we don't have to change them, whereas SAP is rigid. We need to change our business rules to implement SAP. Oracle's reporting is also excellent and it's easier for our technical team to customize the solution compared to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and other products.""An integrated platform with an easy of integration to a third-party system."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Pros →

"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades.""The technical support is very good."

More Sage MAS Pros →

Cons
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual.""Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""The platform's distribution features need enhancement.""There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on.""The solution's support service could be better."

More Infor CloudSuite Industrial Cons →

"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive.""Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates.""Sometimes I have issues with the performance tuning.""The initial setup was a little complex.""I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation.""A downside of Oracle E-Business Suite is its interface because it's less user-friendly than the latest cloud solutions. As an organization, Oracle now has more interest in cloud applications, so nowadays, it doesn't focus much on Oracle E-Business Suite, an on-premises solution, so this is another downside.""It is on the expensive side.""It's difficult for some customers to understand in the beginning. A user really has to understand the processes."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Cons →

"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving.""The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."

  • "The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
  • "As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."

    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. “
