"I find that the overall framework and database structure is quite comprehensive.""What's most valuable in Oracle ERP Cloud is that it's one of the largest ERPs available in the market and it has a lot of customization features.

Many of the customers also migrate to the cloud, so Oracle ERP Cloud is a preferred solution.""I find the most valuable feature for the solution to be the company is always evolving by making the product better with continual updates.""Oracle ERP Cloud is a well-established and well-known product that is cost-effective for the customer.""Oracle ERP delivers business processes.""It is easy and very convenient for clients to go to the front end and check whatever update they want to look at.""I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features.""The solution is user-friendly with a good integration layer."

Cons
"In the future, Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by having a better UI. Competitors are providing much better interfaces.""I would say the integration needs improvement. Oracle needs to work on the integration layer to make the solution much more robust and modern.""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.""Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers.""Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets.""One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system.""Needs more real-time visualizations, in terms of smarter dashboards and reporting competing with the speed of HANA.""Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago."

More Oracle E-Business Suite Cons →

"In terms of areas for improvement, there are still a lot of other features that need to be incorporated into the future releases of Oracle ERP Cloud. We're hoping those would come soon because they're available in other ERP systems. For example, we used to have a lot of AME customizations in the BPM, but now we have a very limited scope, so it would be great if we could extend our scope. Currently, we are working with product teams to get through some of those solutions, and how we could implement them, so we have some workarounds to deal with, but we still have a long road ahead.""There are integration issues and a lack of flexibility within OIC. When integrating systems, the process feels rigid and linear.""Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production.""The interface could be improved in future releases.""The initial setup can be somewhat complex.""The solution should implement improvements with AI technology. Specifically, in the realm of ERP tools, this can be particularly beneficial, not only for cloud-based systems but for all types of tools. Additionally, a highly desirable feature is the ability to work offline.""The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good.""We have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based."

    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.”

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. “

  • Launch new business models, faster

    Staying ahead of customer trends and emerging competitors gets harder every day.
