Cons
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex.""I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry.""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 solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved.""Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities.""You need a lot of knowledge to set up Oracle ERP Cloud.""The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement.""The database is outdated and quite rigid."

More Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP Cons →

"The product does not update budgeting based on exchange rates which is important for BPM.""The reporting feature could improve in SAP ERP. It could benefit from being more flexible.""SAP ERP's initial setup phase needs to be simplified.""It could always be cheaper. There is no doubt about it.""The reporting could be improved, such as the casework, production, and activity reports. Our consultants in a subsidiary enterprise have requested that we develop a new production report. They could also improve production, financial, and HR analysis.""The solution is quite expensive. They need to work on the pricing to make it more reasonable.""The problem for us, we are one company that has seven home markets. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. When we need to configure, modify rules, change policies, or taxes rules, when we move currencies around based on our other financial results, it can get very complicated. When we try to join everything together we have some problems. However, the process good, all of our material and procurement processes are going well. The problem is trying to consolidate the financial reports and this is where I have problems.""There is room for improvement in the integration of the solution, especially in the payroll area."

    Why Customers Choose Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP:

  • Predict, detect, and act on new situations

    No one likes big deltas between forecasts and actuals. Most models though are too limited, relying on sample datasets or just gut feel.

With AI, up to 96% of transactions can be automated.

  • Simplify and speed everyday work

    Oracle’s AI-powered digital assistant simplifies and speeds common tasks, allowing you to ask simple questions like “what’s the status of my open purchase requisitions?” and “what reconciliations are due today?” Personalized tasks like invoices or over-budget notifications are delivered to you proactively, so approvals move faster too.

  • Launch new business models, faster

    Staying ahead of customer trends and emerging competitors gets harder every day. With Oracle cloud ERP, it's easier to identify and launch new business models—and monitor results in real time so you can constantly refine your approach. Paired with machine learning insights like customer churn, you'll predict and avoid problems before they can do harm.
