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.

The self-service helps increase employee loyalty
The reporting could use some improvement. It doesn't shorten the data that it displays to the employee. At the moment you have to scroll through all of the results in order to find what you are looking for. Another improvement that should be implemented in the next release is the appraisal. For the appraisal model, we have to go to another solution because the one included is not supporting us in our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Payroll and online benefits enrollment"
"The most valuable feature is its ability to give us real-time information."
"The solution's very scalable, being used by organizations from very small businesses to multi-billion dollar organizations."
"It is very scalable, and it will grow as my company grows."
"The solution is perfect for big industry and high-scale e-business transactions."
"For large organizations like ours, its ability to handle our data volume with stability is, for us, a perfect match."
"It essentially runs our business, from our financials to manufacturing to supply-chain to planning instances."
"The most valuable feature from our experience with E-Business Suite is definitely its ease of use."
"This solution increases the employees' loyalty to the organization since everything regarding their salary, health, insurance, etc. is there, and the employees can also check to see what activity is done on their files."
 

Cons

"The biggest frustration I have with Oracle is that they have taken an acquisition approach. Because of this, the modules don't talk to each other."
"It would be nice to have more web services. For example, it would be easier to integrate our applications with EBS."
"I believe they should improve their sales service. In terms of finance, they need to improve the interface."
"Technical support is mediocre. It used to be a lot better."
"Oracle has always had one drawback and that is that it's not as user friendly as it's competitors, whether from the database perspective or switching from SAP to Oracle."
"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."
"They should include database functionality."
"I'm not impressed with the out-of-the-box analytics. It's really the bare minimum."
"The reporting could use some improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Oracle's pricing is lower than that of its competitors."
"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."
"Considering the market at the moment, Oracle needs to adjust the pricing of this solution."
"Products concerning areas like CRM and ERP should provide value at lesser costs to customers, especially if you consider that the initial cost of implementation is high."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"USD $100,000 annually."
"The price would be better if it were lower."
