Oracle E-Business Suite Customer Service and Support

I would rate Oracle technical support as a seven out of ten. They are generally helpful, but the key concern is their commitment to response time rather than resolution time.

Regarding their technical support, my personal experience over a period of two to three years is that you'll begin to notice a pattern regarding what time you should raise a service request so that it reaches the right place. Whether it goes to India or to Egypt — these are the two most popular centers for Oracle support. But if you manage to hit the right people, the support is there. 70 to 80 percent of the time, I receive a solution to my problems simply through the technical repository — within the portal itself. I prefer to do it like this rather than by creating a service request and waiting for a response from a potentially inexperience staff member. I'd rather just depend on the documentation. The documentation is very rich. The Oracle community is big.

We do have experience with the product technical support. Whenever the support is assigned to India, we are not satisfied with it because we do not get quality support from teams in India. But whenever that support is assigned to any other country — that may be from the US or any European country — the support is phenomenal. When we reach good support they know the product very well and the experience is good. That is where I think the Indian resources are a bit concerning. The support from them really takes a lot of time.

Customer support is based on the awareness of the person who contacts Oracle. Service requests sometimes loop because Oracle supports the solution at the product level, not the functional level. The product level is any item related to the product itself. The functional level includes change requests or maintenance for the product.

Customers get their support from the Oracle support portal (support.oracle.com). Customers can also get local support from the Oracle Partner companies, which are quite capable of both implementing and supporting the solution. Both functional and technical support is available. Additionally, there are lots of public documents available, such as, books and blogs about EBS. This is also advantageous for customers who want to learn the product on their own and keep their support and consultancy cost minimum.

Financial Business Process Consultant at DeKalb County

I have up and down days with Oracle support. Like anything, it depends on who your support analyst is. They have some phenomenal analysts. Unfortunately, the lifespan, as I understand it, is only maybe 18 months. They come to know this product inside and out, but then they go on to do other things. If I look at it realistically, here we only call support when there's an issue. We're always complaining. If I was on the receiving end of that, 18 months of listening to complaints might get old. There are the people who can answer my questions and who will get it done, and then there are those who don't.

Actually, I'm dealing with a support ticket now. I have had to on multiple occasions put in the ticket 'read my question' versus what I think is happening. I don't know if it's a computer that spits out the first few e-mails, but it's "hello, my name is X, Y, Z", and as a business, you get sick of the same old stuff. I need this resolved and, honestly, the time it takes for me to log into Oracle support and read the stock e-mails has become extremely frustrating.

We haven't really needed to reach out to technical support. That's a testament to how well this product runs. 

That said, in the past, I recall dealing with them, and for the most part, they were great. There were a few issues they were a bit slower to respond to, however, overall, as I recall, they were good.

When you are running a business you want a faster turnaround time. However, there are also some issues where they will be operating within their SLA, be it 24 or 48 hours. Still, sometimes you just need those quick turnarounds, such as maybe one or two hours, to get things done.

IT Analyst at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

I have good and bad experiences with Oracle support. Sometimes it's very difficult to open up an SR, to keep it open, and to get a timely answer when you need it. It feels like everything has to be marked severity 1, critical, 24/7: sometimes in order for it to get something done. They might have heard that a lot, obviously.

We often have problems if we have to cross teams. If I have a problem, and then all of a sudden they decide, "That's receivables," so now you have to open a separate ticket with receivables. Receivables work differently than everyone else, so you're going to have to prioritize it higher and make it 24/7. It can be frustrating sometimes that all the support teams don't work similarly.

Support is a never-ending process because every day, our customers need to change things around. As such, customer support is never-ending. They ask for reports, or they need a new sequence, etc. So it's just a never-ending process.

We have an operational team for technical support. They don't work onsite, unlike the consultants. They are a team of six or seven people. They typically work in an office, but due to the pandemic, they work at home.

Sr. Program Manager at a tech company with 51-200 employees

The support at Oracle is good. It's not very good but good.

The Oracle support is through the Oracle MetaLink, where you open up the Oracle SR and then get the support needed. For this, we spend at least a day or two to provide them with information and it is time consuming. Hence, I think it's good.

However, in case of any urgency, we need to go with the escalation route to get the support that is needed and need to go over the issue with them. We need to struggle in terms of getting the right support. They have support in both the US and Indian time zones. Sometimes, we don't get the right support person in the Oracle SR call and that is also one of the struggles that we have with Oracle.

Technical support is good. You can contact support to ask a question or to open a request. The first type of contact is immediate, as in you ask the question in a forum and the answer is immediate. This is for basic knowledge or for small problems. On the other hand, a request is a particular issue and you can show a critical problem that often requires a patch or running a script. I have tried using both of these and I have almost always received some answer.

Oracle's technical support has drastically improved over the years. The support.oracle.com, or My Oracle Support, is a very good tool. We do encourage our team members, as well as our end users, to look there first. Literally, sometimes it's trying to find a needle in a haystack. Certainly, the information's typically there, based on the search ability what you're searching for is putting specific criteria to find that. Sometimes, people are so broad that they get many, many hits. The ideal situation is putting in something very specific, that you may be able to find what you're looking for, and not having to scroll through pages and pages of results, if you will.

They didn't seem like they had any real problems other than some of the solutions are a little slow to come about. It could be because our organization is very unique, some of the solutions that might need to happen could be a little bit more involved with trying to develop a solution that we need.

However, we do find, sometimes, depending on the time of the day, if you open the support ticket with Oracle, let's say, if you're doing it in the afternoon, or late afternoon, then it actually goes to Asia-Pacific. That problem, basically, is that you won't get any updates in the morning, if we try to. You would get something in the afternoon. If it's not urgent, maybe that's OK, but we'd like to have something, basically, in the same time zone, at least.

One of the things is the timing is very, very slow for turnaround of most things. We get handed off to different people.

We usually feel like we have to start over every time we get somebody new to figure out what's going on.

Technical support is good, though it depends on which module you're asking about. Sometimes we have to escalate service requests so that they get to the relevant techs, but the service is good overall.

Financial Systems Admin at a media company with 501-1,000 employees

Pretty good. We're pretty satisfied. If we raise something to a P1 they work on it 24/7. We don't have any issues with that. We don't raise a lot of problems because there aren't that many problems anymore. We keep our customizations down to a minimum.

Business Systems Analyst at a retailer with 51-200 employees

There have been years where it's not so good. Honestly, in these last 5-6 years, it's been pretty solid. I've always been able to open a ticket, and if I can't find the answer myself in my Oracle support, then the ticket gets resolved fairly quickly and to a resolution, so that's nice.

We partner with a consulting firm, so all of our help desk tickets go through them. We don't deal with Oracle directly.

The level of technical support depends on who you get. Sometimes they'll lag along and we have to keep prodding them and babysit the ticket. Sometimes I'll have to get my boss on the thine to scream at them. Other times, they're really responsive. So it varies.

NDT - TECHNICIAN at a paper AND forest products with 1,001-5,000 employees

Technical support is poor currently. They are focusing more on the cloud rather than customers that are on-premise. 

When we have concerns we would raise the issue with a ticket on their portal. They would not provide the solution we needed and caused us to be under tremendous pressure. We usually need to finish the concern. Even as recently as last week we had concerns with closing an accounting problem and had to escalate to the director level.

Technical support has been fine. We haven't had any problems. Whenever we’ve had a hiccup or something, there's always been a representative to help us. They're knowledgeable and the response time is okay.

Support is very good. We also have a management service provider. We work with a company called Emtec that provides management services. Because our IT team is fairly small, we need extra help. They do a good job.

We didn't use Oracle technical support directly. We worked with an Oracle partner, a Russian company. We are happy to work with them and satisfied with the level of service they provide.

Chief, Application Management Branch at a government with 501-1,000 employees

We've found that technical support has been challenging as they are not always the most forthcoming with information nor are they the most highly-trained techs when you open SRs. There have definitely been issues there, especially compared to the costs that you pay for the support.

Functional Consultant Oracle EBS at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

The level of technical support you receive really depends on if you know who to reach out to. If you do, it's fine. For consultants like us, it's sometimes a little bit frustrating, because we know how to solve the problems ourselves for the most part. Yet, when we need Oracle, we have to fill in all these questions about standard things that we must deliver and query results and standard programs. 

We always provide enough information to be able to understand the problem. For us, we immediately get 5000 questions back when we log an issue and we've already passed that part of the process because we understand what is going on and what is going wrong. That can be a little bit frustrating. However, I understand why they do it. Oracle wants to know exactly what the issue is. For consultants, on the other hand, who recognize the issues, we would prefer not to have to go through the first line of support and rather be directed to someone we can talk to immediately. Right now, there's something like five steps before you can do that.

Oracle Application DBA Consultant at a leisure / travel company with 10,001+ employees

I think they're pretty responsive.

Basically, most of the time, usually we go through the normal process of creating a service request, and at times, if there is a major issue or any critical problem, they would step in and they personally help out the customer.
