Has a simple interface, is easy to use, and has good stability
It's really easy to use and has a simple interface.  The networking could use improvement.  One to three years. Stability is good.  Scalability is just fine. We have fifty users, most of them are admin roles.  Their technical support is very good. They are very helpful. The initial setup was…

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 advanced scheduler helps to ensure proper staffing."
"Technical side: The level of detail (building blocks) in configuration (setup) makes it scalable and secure on a functional level, as well as on a data level."
"Poor user experience."
"The flexibility in configuration is this product’s most valuable feature."
"Do it."
"It's really easy to use and has a simple interface."
"Technical support is good, and they offer different types of support."
"The complete product suite is good. The financials are good, it is the best product I've been working with is Oracle Financial. Supply chain manufacturing is very comprehensive and the connectivity, between all the modules, is seamless. They are all communicated well with one another."
"For us, the most valuable feature is that we have one database, one instance; yet we operate in more than six countries across the world, so it makes it easy for us to run with a very small IT staff."
"Everyone in the company is quite used to the Oracle functionality."
"Order to cash and procure to pay process: They are valuable features because of their integration and flexibility."
"Very flexible in terms of configurations and it's capable of integrations."
"E-Business Suite's best features are the standard process, the table dictionary, and the ability to work with the SQL language to correlate data."
"I would probably say that the biggest benefit for the company is just having all of the information under one umbrella, in one central location."
 

Cons

"The setup was complex."
"Poor user experience. Web based, but requires old version of Java on the desktop which is a security nightmare."
"Customer Service: 3/10 Technical Support: I would give technical support a rating of 3/10. A lot of the time, their technical support person did not understand the issue."
"Licenses are expensive."
"The networking could use improvement."
"Right now, I don’t think the version that we are using supports mobile devices."
"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."
"More flexibility in configuration related to the Payroll module, in order to easily implement the local legislation."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is hard and takes six months to one year to implement."
"Current challenges with Oracle E-Business Suite include certain modules such as Property Manager, which has faced difficulties especially after IFRS 16 was introduced in 2021."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The way things are going, Oracle is not putting much effort into their master data management. They need to look into machine data and then the integrated data domain."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is expensive."
"It's quite expensive, even though they gave us a discount."
"USD $100,000 annually."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is cheaper than SAP. It is expensive."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"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."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"At the time of purchasing the license the price was reasonable."
"It costs too much."
