Easy to setup and allows for easy accessibility, which is particularly beneficial for remote workers
Pros and Cons
  • "It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything."
  • "One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."

What is our primary use case?

I recently made the move from Oracle ABS to Oracle Cloud.

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable aspects is that it's a cloud-based solution. It's easy to deploy, and we don't have to worry about upgrading anything.

Additionally, it allows for easy accessibility by many people, especially while working from home.

What needs improvement?

One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for three years. We are currently using version 23B under licensing.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable, but it does have some limitations. I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. There are over 1000 users in my organization using this solution. 

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support team is okay. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is really easy but takes a bit of time. It usually takes around five to six hours.

What about the implementation team?

We don't have to deploy it ourselves. Oracle takes care of the deployment, so we don't need any engineers or architects.

We also have to handle the maintenance.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Has a lot of customizations and flexibility, and it integrates well with other applications
Pros and Cons
  • "What's most valuable in Oracle ERP Cloud is that it's one of the largest ERPs available in the market and it has a lot of customization features. It also has a lot of flexibility and integration options that work with other applications. Many of the customers also migrate to the cloud, so Oracle ERP Cloud is a preferred solution."
  • "In terms of areas for improvement, there are still a lot of other features that need to be incorporated into the future releases of Oracle ERP Cloud. We're hoping those would come soon because they're available in other ERP systems. For example, we used to have a lot of AME customizations in the BPM, but now we have a very limited scope, so it would be great if we could extend our scope. Currently, we are working with product teams to get through some of those solutions, and how we could implement them, so we have some workarounds to deal with, but we still have a long road ahead."

What is our primary use case?

We use Oracle ERP Cloud for any business purpose such as supply chain, financials, in-house management, movement of materials, etc.

What is most valuable?

What's most valuable in Oracle ERP Cloud is that it's one of the largest ERPs available in the market and it has a lot of customization features. It also has a lot of flexibility and integration options that work with other applications. Many of the customers also migrate to the cloud, so Oracle ERP Cloud is a preferred solution.

What needs improvement?

In terms of areas for improvement, there are still a lot of other features that need to be incorporated into the future releases of Oracle ERP Cloud. We're hoping those would come soon because they're available in other ERP systems. For example, we used to have a lot of AME customizations in the BPM, but now we have a very limited scope, so it would be great if we could extend our scope. Currently, we are working with product teams to get through some of those solutions, and how we could implement them, so we have some workarounds to deal with, but we still have a long road ahead.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Oracle ERP Cloud for quite some time, in particular, four or five years now. I'm using the latest version of the solution because it has a quarterly patch, so it gets upgraded, and it's on the cloud, so I don't need to worry about the version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle ERP Cloud is a fairly stable solution. My company only needs to retest some of the applications and point that to product development during patching cycles, but the solution has evolved far more than it was a couple of years back.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

My company hasn't tried scaling Oracle ERP Cloud, but to do it, you have to take care of cloud port profiling first, and whenever you see that the performance isn't good, you can always request for cloud port profiling. The Oracle ERP Cloud team does the rightsizing of the application, and that improves performance. With the solution, there's a way to try other things first before scaling, and I'm fine with that.

How are customer service and support?

I do deal with the technical support team of Oracle ERP Cloud for issues and gaps, and on a scale of one to five, where one is the worst and five is the best, I'm rating support a four.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Oracle ERP Cloud is simple as it is cloud-based. The solution has import and export features, and you can use a template to upload, so setting up Oracle ERP Cloud is easy.

What other advice do I have?

I'm using Oracle ERP Cloud. I'm not an IT person. I'm more of a consultant.

The solution is on the cloud, so there's not much to maintain, and this makes Oracle ERP Cloud more portable and easier to use.

I would recommend Oracle ERP Cloud to others.

I'm rating Oracle ERP Cloud eight out of ten as it has many features and many modules, though giving it a generic rating would be difficult because it would still depend on the releases of the solution, in terms of respective modules and business flows, but it has improved now, particularly in the customer experience area. I also noticed that the supply chain feature of Oracle ERP Cloud is coming up with a lot of flows and several advanced supply chain features being integrated into the solution, and that makes Oracle ERP Cloud a better ERP solution in the years to come.

The most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement.
Pros and Cons
  • "ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use ERP Cloud for managing finances, HCM expenses, procurement, etc. It's a full enterprise resource solution. We're a smaller organization with about 150 employees and anyone who deals with finances, accounting, and expense management uses Oracle. 

What is most valuable?

ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Oracle ERP Cloud at this company for about nine months now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle ERP Cloud is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Oracle ERP Cloud is highly scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Oracle doesn't provide support directly. They have implementation partners. When we have a bug, support is highly responsive, but if it's a new feature, the response time depends on how many clients. It could take longer.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle ERP Cloud is one of the most expensive solutions. I rate it three out of 10 for affordability. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Oracle ERP Cloud nine out of 10. ERP Cloud is more suitable for larger enterprises, not small companies. Most of the organizations that have implemented it are in the services sector. But If your organization is big enough, the main thing is to keep it simple. If you make the system complicated, it becomes more expensive to maintain. Keep it as simple, but functional.

A stable solution that allows us to use full sets
Pros and Cons
  • "Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
  • "Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer."

What is our primary use case?

I am the ITC general manager with our company in Libya. I am responsible for all the ERP projects in our sector in the country. Four of our subsidiary companies have implemented Oracle ERP Cloud.

We are using a hybrid solution, using some Oracle solutions and using our own cloud service to host the server.

Maintenance of the solution requires a team because we also support our subsidiary.

What is most valuable?

We are using a hybrid solution so that we can use full sets.

What needs improvement?

Oracle ERP Cloud could improve the payment transfer. In Libya, the local pay is on the cloud, only there one can see the payroll, so it is very important for us to have a payroll model added.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable enough for our needs.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

Prior to Oracle ERP Cloud, we were using either SAS or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Moving to this new solution, we can unify the previous versions.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We have an annual license with Oracle, however, if we need additional features we do pay for them.

What other advice do I have?

In our situation, the solution needs to handle working with other countries. We need special features and that's why we have a payment agreement regarding the support and transfer.

I would rate Oracle ERP Cloud an eight out of ten.

I use Oracle ERP Cloud for implementation support.

What needs improvement?

The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved.

A good cloud that scales well but can be expensive
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure."
  • "The interface could be improved in future releases."

What is our primary use case?

In my current workplace, we use the Oracle Cloud ERP to manage our HR information - including general employee information, and payroll information, salary, promotion, and performance position information. We've also connected this HR module. We utilize the Oracle Cloud ERP to manage our HR and finance.

What is most valuable?

I really like the cloud feature. That's the most famous and the best one on the market. You can save lots of costs in comparison with an in-house solution.

The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure. The system backup, we don't need to worry about it.

What needs improvement?

As an ERP solution, the design concept is complicated due to the fact that it will manage almost everything regarding the business operations. It's not designed to simplify something, it's actually designed to regulate or make it more integral. It should be easy to use per se. All ERP systems are quite sophisticated and not easy to master, however, the value of the ERP system needs to provide accurate business information to the leadership. The interface could be improved in future releases. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three or more years. It's been a while at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the product is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the solution is very good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease.

We have 185 users on the solution.

We do have plans to continue usage and renew our license.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is okay. If you want to have it on a higher level or get better service, you have to pay. It's an additional cost.

For the most part, we are satisfied with the level of support we have.

How was the initial setup?

As a could-based solution, there isn't really an installation process required.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution allows us to save on costs. It's less expensive than an on-prem version.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. It's still relatively expensive. We'd like it to be cheaper still.

Technical support runs on tiers. Better service requires an extra payment.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated SAP and Oracle EBS, as well as Oracle PeopleSoft. However, eventually, we choose Oracle Cloud ERP.

SAP is very heavy and expensive, which is why we didn't choose it.

What other advice do I have?

I am a customer and an end-user of this solution.

As a cloud-based solution, we are always on the latest version.

I would recommend the solution to other users.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. If the pricing or interface were better, I would likely rate it a bit higher.

Comprehensive and scales well
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization."
  • "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."

What is most valuable?

Oracle ERP Cloud is a comprehensive solution.

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle ERP Cloud for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We had stability issues with the solution but it was not the solution's fault, it was our internet service. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is approximately 70 percent scalable. We have more than 100 people using the solution in my organization.

How was the initial setup?

It is difficult to accurately assess the complexity of implementing an ERP Cloud system, as it is dependent on the size of the company, the modules required, the number of employees, and the scope of the project. Depending on these factors, the amount of time needed for implementation can vary greatly.

There are certain criteria that must be met in order to achieve the desired outcome. This includes the requirement definition phase, analyzing and designing, implementation, training, data conversion, and migration. Depending on the complexity of the project, it could take up to one year to complete the deployment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price of the solution is expensive. There are additional costs associated with this particular case that must be taken into consideration when calculating the overall expense. These costs may include but are not limited to, additional materials, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the course of the project. It is important to note that these additional costs may exceed the initial pricing estimate.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise that anyone considering using Oracle ERP Cloud in the future should put a significant amount of effort into their planning and preparation for the project. This will be beneficial in the long run, as it will help to ensure that the project is successful and that any issues are addressed before they become a problem. The lessons I have learned so far are that the more effort you put into the planning and preparation stages, the better the outcome of the project will be.

I rate Oracle ERP Cloud a ten out of ten.

It has sophisticated financial planning and budgeting modules and is scalable and stable, but it's expensive
Pros and Cons
  • "My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules."
  • "Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production."

What is our primary use case?

Most customers use Oracle ERP Cloud for the Oracle financial module.

What is most valuable?

Oracle ERP Cloud is the next-generation ERP solution by Oracle versus the on-premise application. My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules.

What needs improvement?

Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production. Each module I mentioned has a lot of room for improvement.

Another area for improvement in Oracle ERP Cloud is its pricing. The price needs to be more affordable to make the product more popular with customers. Otherwise, Oracle ERP Cloud won't have good sales in Bangladesh.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been working with Oracle ERP Cloud since 2016.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I found Oracle ERP Cloud stable, so I'm giving it eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Oracle ERP Cloud is pretty scalable. I'm rating its scalability nine out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

My company contacts Oracle ERP Cloud technical support when there's any bug or error in the product, but support-wise, it's a six out of ten. Oracle support needs to improve by adding more team members. Support for Oracle ERP Cloud needs a boost.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for Oracle ERP Cloud wasn't that easy. It's in the middle. Complexity-wise, it's a seven out of ten.

My company's deployment strategy for Oracle ERP Cloud is through the agile methodology, and on top of that, with very minimum personalization, it doesn't take much time to deploy. Deploying Oracle ERP Cloud for a project takes four months.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

In a developing country such as Bangladesh, Oracle ERP Cloud is expensive compared to on-premise solutions, so the turnover is very low. Customers become more comfortable using on-premise services because of the high subscription costs of Oracle ERP Cloud. Very few customers here in Bangladesh use Oracle ERP Cloud.

The product is very costly for customers in developing countries. However, it may not be that costly for customers in developed countries.

My company pays for an annual subscription to Oracle ERP Cloud, and the contract is for two years, minimum. The contract includes all features and technical support.

Rating the pricing for Oracle ERP Cloud would vary from customer to customer, but here in Bangladesh, it's the most expensive, so it's a one out of ten for being expensive.

The headcount cost for each employee or executive in Bangladesh is low compared to other parts of the world. Suppose you're looking at deploying a cloud solution. In that case, people need to train more employees, so the cost of ownership is going to be high for on-premise applications, which would seem that it's better to go on the cloud, and this is what's happening in developed countries. People in developed countries are moving towards replacing on-premise applications with cloud solutions. However, that's not happening in Bangladesh or India because the human-resource cost is not so expensive, so a SaaS solution such as Oracle ERP Cloud isn't as popular. People here in Bangladesh do not have much interest in purchasing SaaS-based modules.

What other advice do I have?

My company has a partnership with Oracle and SAP, working in the Bangladesh and Malaysia market. The company has had a partnership with Oracle since 2015 and recently started a partnership with SAP, but it has been implementing SAP solutions since 2018.

My company works as a system integrator for Oracle and SAP.

The company works with Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Oracle Database. It provides Oracle Database migration services to customers and business utilization services through Oracle Analytics Cloud.

In terms of SAP, my company works with SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business One.

The company provides services to customers.

My company always provides the latest version of Oracle ERP Cloud.

Oracle ERP Cloud is SaaS-based, so it has to be deployed on Oracle Cloud. There's no other deployment option because Oracle offers it on a data center SaaS model.

Only two to three technical people in my company handled the Oracle ERP Cloud deployment.

My company handles Oracle ERP Cloud maintenance, but because it's a pretty straightforward SaaS application and on the cloud, it doesn't require much support.

My rating for Oracle ERP Cloud is six out of ten.

My company is an Oracle partner and reseller that implements Oracle ERP Cloud and other Oracle solutions.
