Md. Mazharul Islam - PeerSpot reviewer
Incharge Corporate Accounts & ERP System at General Pharmaceuticals Limited.
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.

Can accomplish more with this tool than with a website or shared drive, yet reporting is weak
A large percentage of our employee base is remote at client locations. A web-based VMS allows anyone to access our catalog, and to work on their professional development, 24/7, regardless of location. I am a single system admin for over 600 users. I can accomplish much more with this tool than with a website or shared drive that doesn't have reporting, assignment, and other capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very comprehensive solution that enables us to manage customers, customer service, finances, projects, HR, and other business operations."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle E-Business Suite are best practices, built-in processes, and easy configuration, with plenty of system functionality and customization."
"The kind of features they have provided is very helpful."
"With the Finance module, we can manage our finance organization from a single system for accounting purposes."
"This solution offers customization. You'll have the ability to change and add your custom solutions and integrate them with the standard ones."
"A couple of things-- one is the support for the multiple languages, locale, so the internationalization is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for us is integrity in the sense that the General Ledger module is directly connected with our payables, and our Human Resources is connected with payroll, so it's one unit from HR's perspective, which is very efficient."
"EBS has lots of application families and lots of features. It is modular in deployment and flexible enough to let the customer increase the built-in capabilities and enable new applications when needed. These are very important things at hand in case there will be a need to expand the product capabilities and/or implement new projects."
"SilkRoad support has been very responsible and helpful."
 

Cons

"We expect Oracle to go into continuous innovation mode and provide simplified integration solutions."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement."
"On-site cloud support is slow and unresponsive."
"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."
"With the growing use of mobile phones, we would appreciate sending notifications through SMS."
"Oracle implementations are complex and require that the customer understands, and reviews their business processes."
"We would like to see some automation in this solution."
"It is not a good idea to use this old system nowadays. It is deprecated. Choose more modern system."
"The ability to view and report on, then manage data is not very robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"Both the current projects and future projects should be defined well. Licensing should be done according to current and near future plans."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"The pricing of Oracle E-Business Suite is too high."
"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"The licensing cost of Oracle E-Business Suite is quite competitive. It's quite flexible, so it can be adapted to the requirements of my company. For confidentiality purposes, I'm unable to disclose how much Oracle E-Business Suite costs, but I'm rating its cost as eight out of ten."
