Oracle E-Business Suite Pricing
Oracle E-Business Suite is pricey, but it is worth the money. I would rate it as an eight out of ten in terms of costliness.

I don't know the precise details about pricing because I am from the project management side, and another team handles procurement, but if I had to estimate, I would say it's probably around eight out of 10 for affordability.
Of course, it depends on which modules you select. There is not standard price. You need to dig into the exact pricing for your requirements. It's not a single one bundled. There is a named user license plus some module licenses.

Whatever the products you use, you'll be paying a yearly maintenance price or a support price. Every time they have a new release, they will announce that they will be discontinuing the support for that particular release in three years or four years so that customers can move into a higher release.
My understanding is that Oracle charges per user in some areas, but they have a minimum licensing fee, depending on how big the organization is. From the Oracle point of view, I think they know what the market charges and they're very competitive.

Oracle generally gives a lot of discounts. If we get discounts, the tool will not be costly. It will cost less than S/4HANA. The product might cost the same as Microsoft Dynamics. The cost is based on the discount that Oracle provides to us.

If you're buying a license, support is roughly 22% of the price of the whole product. So, in the first year, you'll definitely get support. Some companies, over a period of time, try to knock off the Oracle support costs because it just keeps growing. Every year, according to their published price, it will increase from three to five percent from the last year. Now, imagine you bought a product worth 1.5 billion; what would be the support cost in the first year? And then plus 5%, plus 5% — it goes on, and on. You'll come to a point where you feel you're wasting money because support is support whether I am paying for five users or 500 users.
There is a solution for all of your current problems in Oracle E-Business Suite, but the constraint is the license. I'll give you a live example. Let's say I bought an employee self-service. What I would get is a bunch of licenses that I can use on the web version on my local internet. But with the current model of digitalization, you know that the employees would prefer to have some sort of mobile app or at least a desktop site. So, if I want that to happen, then I'd need to buy another set of licenses. The same self-service on the mobile version.
These are the pain points with Oracle. The license is normalized or broken down to such a level that it becomes a pain. Regarding a new customer, unless he's been using this solution for two or three years, he won't get used to these licenses. There is a good chance that he'd become exploited by Oracle's account managers in terms of licenses. Oracle's licenses are not straightforward.
Personally, I have worked on several projects where I have had to help customers understand Oracle licensing — it's not simple in SAP either. There are pros and cons to both solutions. Sometimes it could be beneficial and sometimes it's troublesome. That is something I feel that Oracle should try to simplify.
View full review »Pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is seven out of ten. You must pay extra for maintenance and technical support, apart from standard license fees.
View full review »Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users.

Using many modules in Oracle increases the value. The cost depends on how many features in Oracle are used. I rate the pricing a five out of ten, as customers always look for discounts.

They have licensing models based on the number of users as well as one-time packages. If you're on the cloud, it's pay-as-you-go. It's not cheap technology but they have good consultants who know all the features. They are one of the longest-standing players in the market so they can dictate the price.

The licensing costs for E-business Suite depends upon what modules you're using, the number of users, core database components and things like that. I believe we pay around USD $100,000 annually. There are no additional costs unless you opt for additional products or components.

In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well.
Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans.
Customer should do their sizing and understand their computational resource needs. They need to start sales negotiations according to their actual needs.
Customers should evaluate the partner who is responsible for implementing the project.
The better the partner, the higher the success rate of the project.

We are satisfied with the pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite. Pricing is pretty much okay if you consider the products and the service that you are getting. A quality product never comes at a cheap price. Oracle is costly, but they support you. If you are looking for pricing, then I would say not to go for Oracle.
