Installation and integration are areas that are quite easy to manage
With ERPNext, some business challenges will definitely be there. So far, my company has seen that it cannot go for bigger enterprise models, like SAP. With SAP, it is a completely different game, whereas for the SMEs having almost 100 to 500 users, ERPNext can be a good tool. With ERPNext, there can be some challenges in the case of business or routing. The tool is suitable if you have a multi-cloud environment in your company or if there is some company that prefers to be branded as an enterprise business. As there are so many third-party integrations, depending on third-party applications, all those. You know? I mean, you have so many CRM models, but the thing is that with the ERP ERPNext CRM, you can't compare it with Salesforce. For the SME sector, the tool is good. The tool's features are developed for a bigger network. It will take a little bit of time, but as of now, we can see that the tool is good for the SME sector. The tool has not come up with anything for some specific domains, like construction domains. Right now, it is a big challenge to use the tool in the education domain, but right now, the product has resolved it. Many people use the tool since it has a larger network. The tool keeps developing, and it will take time to develop. For the education domain, the tool will have to come up with LMS features and transportation, which make up for small challenges.

Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool that is customizable based on the business environment."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the product's initial setup a nine on a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"The technical ability to run runtime APIs is great."
"This is our ERP and we are using it for our entire supply chain flow, i.e., from the start of the billing to the shipping process."
"We've seen a lot more cohesiveness in our organization since we started using EBS."
"The procure-to-pay is core to our business and relevant to us."
"The supplier invoice payment process is very easy and is integrated from the requisition to the payment (and to creating the asset)."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has contributed to cost reduction in specific areas for customers who transition from using multiple legacy systems in silos, helping reduce costs, decrease employee working time, and minimize duplicate jobs."
"Oracle E-Business Suite improves forecast accuracy, reduces costs, and increases manufacturing capacity."
"It's a scalable product."
 

Cons

"The tool has not come up with anything for some specific domains, like construction domains."
"The look, feel, and color are areas in ERPNext that can be improved."
"It's very dependent on integration with other products,."
"We are on a slightly older version as we don't apply as many patches as Oracle recommends because we feel it's not stable. So we've definitely had some stability issues that have prevented us from moving forward for the product."
"The stability is really 50/50 right now. It could be issues with certain pages or data, or it could be a training issue on our end."
"I would like to see more connections with the third-party application, such as banks and credit card companies."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"We would like to see some automation in this solution."
"The account executive was good, but when it came to training HR, it really failed - on this point I'd rate Oracle as 3/10."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, ERPNext is a cheap product. There are no licensing costs attached to ERPNext since it is an open-source product. You have to pay for the solution's hosting and implementation process."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."
"We have an annual license to use the Oracle E-Business Suite and we have an enterprise license."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"Find a best Oracle partner and get a better discount."
"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."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"There is an annual licensing fee and you are able to add features depending on the scope of the environment."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is heavy subscriptions based and the solution's upgrades, under the technology licensing, are quite costly. Additionally, support is an extra cost. The price of the solution could be reduced."
