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."Oracle's technical support is better than others."
"Great finance modules and customization."
"I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments. It also has the decision and internet sale order, and my customers can correct the internet decision. It automatically converts to the internet order, and they don't need to create the entry object. They don't need to make a secondary ledger in the parent company and subsidiary. That's very helpful for internet decisions. If they get an order at the parent company, it automatically creates the sales system in the subsidiary."
"You can group them into the BIs, which is business intelligence. You get your own key performance indicators and build your own reports or you could have your own screens, and it changes in real time."
"The technical support for the solution was very good."
"It was very easy to integrate the product into our existing infrastructure."
"The technical ability to run runtime APIs is great."
"The interface is easy to use."
"Because I'm a procure-to-pay consultant, I mostly look at that angle, and I have a bit of experience with sales and distribution. I also like the integration between S/4HANA and other ERPs because S/4HANA is a suite. For example, the integration between S/4HANA and EWM Transportation Management, and Ariba."
"S/4HANA offers a lot of additional capability with respect to performance due to its in-built architecture for many functions including finance, production, quality, manufacturing, inventory or sales distribution and logistics."
"Responsive, comprehensive and optimized solution."
"S/4HANA falls under a single terminal. We can easily access the data, and the performance is good."
"S4HANA is very scalable - we use it across seven or eight factories, and everything is running fine."
"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."
"The most useful features of SAP S4HANA are the consolidation reports. The BI is very strong and the manufacturing and finance sections we like a lot."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"It requires training before you can easily use this product, so it should be easier to use."
"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."
"More flexibility in configuration related to the Payroll module, in order to easily implement the local legislation."
"Some of my clients report that the overall ease of use could be simplified."
"Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"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."
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The scalability could be better."
"It requires a lot of planning to implement the product correctly."
"This is a costly solution."
"S/4HANA could be improved with better integration. At the moment, a main issue I see is that there's so much growth in the functionality, complementary modules, and cloud solutions which were acquired by SAP and which extend the functionality of the SAP ERP suite. It looks to me that they tend to acquire more and more functionality from acquisitions, but they don't invest enough effort into making them integrated with S/4HANA or ERP. I would say that the functionality is great, but integration is something which still needs more attention. Instead of focusing on acquisitions, they should invest, integrate, and better the existing portfolio of products in SAP. It would help us, as implementors, to have a more complex or compact solution."
"The theory-side of the solution needs to be improved."
"In an upcoming release of SAP S4HANA, chain management should be easier."
