"Very flexible in terms of configurations and it's capable of integrations.""Everyone in the company is quite used to the Oracle functionality.""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.""The implementation of Oracle E-Business Suite is easy.""Financial and asset management features are valuable.""Oracle E-Business Suite's most valuable feature is the information that it provides.

Cons
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications.""Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization.""There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning.""Many of our customers are migrating to the cloud rather than staying on-premises.""It requires a lot of expertise to implement.""What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution.""It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. ​""The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP Cons →

"The initial setup is complex.""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.""Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements.""The way things are going, Oracle is not putting much effort into their master data management. They need to look into machine data and then the integrated data domain.""Oracle is easy to implement at a new organization like ours, but it might be more challenging for an established organization with more rules and policies in place.""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.""Oracle is not keeping up on development of the on-premises version of this product as they are concentrating on cloud solutions.""Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers."

    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. “
