We performed a comparison between Oracle E-Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that one system covers everything."
"It's a scalable product."
"Oracle EBS provides the customer with faster financial closing because of its accurate calculations."
"This software scales very well across various implementations."
"The solution is good for small businesses."
"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."
"It is a solution for GFMIS (Governmental Fiscal Management Information Systems)."
"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."
"SAP S4HANA has good performance and has allowed us to combine our systems."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"The functionality of SAP S4HANA is very good when comparing it to others, such as Oracle, Microsoft, and other ERP solutions."
"S4HANA is a completely integrated solution. It's an end-to-end ERP system with strong manufacturing and financial integration, which is not common among ERPs. And it's a solution that's driven by industry best practices."
"We have access to all types of reports in a single solution."
"One of the most valuable features is the in-memory database."
"SAP S4HANA is a stable solution."
"It seamlessly integrates with all the SAP Business Suite products such as IoT, AI, Analytics and all other SaaS solutions. The product is very robust and comprehensive."
"User interface is outdated and not user friendly."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
"The UI interface is not great."
"Technical support is focused on-cloud versus on-premise customers."
"I would rate the support for Oracle E-Business Suite a four out of five."
"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."
"I would say the integration needs improvement. Oracle needs to work on the integration layer to make the solution much more robust and modern."
"The interface is pretty old."
"The procure-to-pay solution in the Contract Management angle could be better. If you look at it on Ariba, the Contract Management Life Cycle for Ariba is more robust. You can create documentation, SLAs, and NDAs. Apart from the procurement aspect of the contract, you have the legal side, but Ariba cannot do that. From what I've seen, the features of the procure-to-pay model in S/4HANA and their Contract Life Cycle Management side primarily focus on the procurement side. I believe it would be good if this solution could handle a part of the legal side. They will incorporate Extended Warehouse Management and Transportation Management into the S/4HANA cloud. Most big companies that use a solution like S/4HANA have a legal department within the organization. Suppose they can incorporate that to be in S/4HANA suites; I think it'll be good. It will be just like what we have with Transportation Management and Extended Warehouse Management. The user interface could be better. They have too much information on the interface, and our customers still keep complaining that it looks complex. Even though many things have changed, they still complain that the interface or the screen they see is a bit complex. It's only when they see the Fiori interface that their mind becomes a bit calm."
"The two things that need to be improved are price and customization."
"The solution could improve by making customization easier. The on-premise version is a lot more flexible."
"The theory-side of the solution needs to be improved."
"We are always looking for a better user experience. We would like to see more consolidation in SAP S4HANA because of all the financial compliance and regulatory changes."
"The scalability could be better."
"I have found the solution to be stable but it could improve."
"Documentation could be improved."
