What are Oracle E-Business Suite users saying about the software?

Best On-Prem ERP

I have been an EBS implementer for more than 10yrs and having worked across multiple ERP applications, I think EBS provides a lot of functionalities that help automate your entire backoffice.

Pros

The plathora of features that it provides and the single platform for all your ERP (HCM, Supply Chain, Financials, Projects) needs is incredible and ends up giving a seamless user experience without having to spend a ton of money on integrations and upkeep!

Cons

This is an on-prem application, so it requires some dedicated Database Administrators however there are services which will provide hosting options for this. If you’re in market for a new ERP, then the Cloud based Fusion Applications might be a better suited option.

Require a team of support behind it

Pros

It's a corporate level business solution, the number of options and specifications that you can choose from is just tremendous, covering almost all the cases that you might search for.

Cons

when dealing with a small business, it acts just fine, but when we are talking about huge numbers, you need a support team behind it, cause the workflow gets complicated and you get overwhelmed by the number of transitions and statuses, and the customer pipeline get really really long, so in short, unless you get a professional support behind it to assets the business needs, it would be hard to deal with it.

Oracle EBS Overview

Pros

This is one of the complete ERP solution which includes all modules, from finance, scm and HCM also. The most admirable feature of EBS is its finance module which is one of the best available product in market.

Cons

Nothing as much just initial implementation is not that easy task. And another thing is lot of Oracle Standard reports are in rdf only and it's difficult for developers to customize those kind of reports.

Powerful but antiquated system that can do a lot of things but can't do any of them very well

Pros

1. Oracle EBS contains a variety of modules - AR, AP, GL, Projects, Time/Expense, etc. There is a lot of functionality offered everywhere. 2. Can handle multiple currencies in every module. 3. Best suited for very large companies with huge amounts of data.

Cons

1. Not enough native reporting features, especially when it comes to financials and drilling down into transaction details. 2. Very difficult and costly to implement and maintain. 3. High learning curve, with different modules treating transactions inconsistently.

The Logical Next Step - It all comes together

A while back I said my company was small but had big expensive needs, well we made another commitment. We got the next piece of the puzzle. With HCM/Global Payroll and BI Publisher Enterprise already in our shop we brought everything together with the E-Business Suite. It was pricey but with our Oracle Representative we negotiated a good deal. Still would recommend this system/platform. When properly trained you will get every penny back. Number one recommendation during setup - get a good, experienced consultant.

Pros

We spend stupid money and have many suppliers, we also collect a lot of money that needs to be redistributed across many projects. The power of this system is in the setup. The system becomes fairly intuitive after being properly trained, Its web based and can be accessed from anywhere. I have heard of latency problems when installed remotely but our offices are all in the same country and we spent a few dimes on our network so can't really relate. All the information is tied together and I am a big fan of mass update

Cons

1. A lot of training is required to take full advantage of this system and the training ain't cheap 2. While there is plenty of documentation on everything there is no one piece that just shows you what to do. You have to track down all the pieces. If their where 5 minute videos that just deals with a specific thing from start to finish without all the whys, the back-end info and best practice info life would be great. 3. Its still expensive but worth it if you already have most of the pieces and your organization needs the automation and power

Positive experience with Oracle

Oracle has been one of the stronger packages I have used in the HR world (and liked the way it fed over to Payroll). Overall, screens were easy to navigate.

Pros

Overall, Oracle was very straight-forward and easy to use. I have used at least 3 or 4 Management tool packages and feel Oracle has been the best one so far.

Cons

We also used Oracle Discoverer for reporting. Although MOST of it was great, there were some things the reporting could not do that made a user have to "know" their data in order to make sure certain data records were not coming out in their report (or, it'd come out and you would have to know to pull out certain data records).

Very good software, easy to use with many useful features

Pros

The software is very easy to use and understand, very little training was required to understand how to use it. Movement between screens is very fast and seamless, very little wait time for the system to make changes or calculations. Follow up and reminder messages are very clear and easy to understand what the system is asking you to do to complete the task.

Cons

Oracle software is a little bit more expensive than many other systems, but offers a better product for the cost than most of it's competitors.

One of the most comprehensive CRM Suites suited for Bigger Fish

Pros

Oracle E-Business is the Go-to CRM Suite for any big company looking to simplify and streamline its operations. Through numerous acquisitions and continuous development, it has become a behemoth which offers almost any functionality you would ever need.

Cons

It is not a very cost-effective and/or efficient solution for smaller enterprises. The implementation requires a certain level of subject matter expertise, experience, and skill which is quite pricey for smaller companies to afford.

Easy to use with Training

Pros

I like that I can manage my hours, benefits, and pay all in one location. It is easy for traceability to see the last transactions and history, and allows for anyone to update PO's and had good searching functionality.

Cons

The fact that it is web-based is frustrating, there is an applet that is requires to run which resets and can cause issues with the company securities. It also does not work with Google Chrome, requiring one to constantly use internet explorer or firefox; this is not my preferred browser at work.

Good Tool but thats it

It was good but definitely could be improved. Oracle will perform its duties very well but will leave you hanging sometimes. Should be more intuitive, and easy to handle between teams.

Pros

E-Business Suite packs a lot of features that will surely allow for the pristine performance of your institution. However. It will get the job done. Sometimes, that's it, you just need something that works.

Cons

On the other hand, it becomes a sluggish performer of its duties. The software needs to be updated to the eyes, and the interface should definitely be taken care of. It is not a good option if you're looking for innovation and an updated feel.

Oracle PO Super User Review

Pros

Oracle EBS offers endless functionality and customization if you have the budget for development. All of the modules work well together and offer loads of functionality out of the box.

Cons

Out of the box EBS will handle most of your business needs but your teams will quickly ask for customization or additional workflows that all require development/testing/deployment and that can get spendy.

Oracle has many features but if not written up correctly to company needs it can definitely be a challenge

the system can be made a bit more reliable when it comes to loading and freezing up. it would be nice if there were fewer steps to take when doing just one part of procurement.

Pros

We have the option to attach documents and the procurement feature is awesome. it's nice to be able to put data together into a excel spreadsheet

Cons

I am not crazy of the fact that at times the system can slow down and you can lose all the work you have done.

Oracle E-Business Suite - Quality Solution

Pros

The Oracle E-Business Suite has seemingly endless functionality. It covers all aspects of running a business -- big or small. From HR to Order Management to Inventory, GL, Purchasing, etc., it does it all.

Cons

The user interface isn't the fanciest out there, but it works. Support specialists can be costly, and Oracle software in general isn't cheap.

Excellent product from Oracle to keep your customer happy always

Pros

Very easy to customize the product Improved in terms of reduced downtime with online patching User friendly GUI

Cons

Too many patches due to many bugs. Online patching not 100% effective Startup shutdown process should improve

Oracle EBS provides easy access to files and reports

Pros

I like that all of the information is conveniently located in one place and can be access from anywhere, as long as you connect to the server, or in my case, through the VPN and have access to that information.

Cons

I dislike that the system is not very intuitive. I frequently had to ask a coworker if something was available in Oracle and where to find it.

Powerful ERP Application

Pros

This is very power ERP application. It works very well in supplier chain management that is semiconductor manufacturing.

Cons

This requires a big cost to maintain and develop or customize the new things. The performance is not really good, especially if it is installed in not really strong servers.

Good but complicated

When everything is setup and trained, it's worth it. In the meanwhile, better you invest time in the initial configuration.

Pros

It gives you the opportunity to administration simultaneously on more than one company or business. You can have a completely control over cost and budgets

Cons

It's a system that needs a lot of time to configure and implement in to the company. Is not to intuitive for the user.

Back office warrior

Pros

This is the head chef of the back office software it helps to manage and monitor all the moment of the office

Cons

This need to be monitor even you manage to used even a year sometime bags and log problem for this but this is a great application

Useful for Expense report management

Pros

I like the way it organizes things so clearly and efficiently; it makes expense reporting much easier! I also like that you are able to see ongoing status updates in regards to whether your expense report has been approved by your supervisor

Cons

I dislike that occasionally it resets itself before you have an opportunity to save your work and therefore your work has not been saved do you have to re-do it.

Monitor all

Pros

This application is really very helpful for monitoring all the basic needs in our business has organize in all side.

Cons

This need to be learn side by side not just in a single day. This application can bring more in you can learn with it

Extremely Great and user friendly experience

Pros

Users look and feel is extremely friendly. easy to navigate and enter informations . smoothless experience.

Cons

More validations of personal data. Auto-derive names based on Ids or vice versa. Could add better layouts.

Oracle

Pros

Software is easy to use and very powerful. I have used several ERP types of software and to me oracle is the best. It has a logical flow and is easy to find what you are looking for with great tools to help you know what is needed.

Cons

There are several competitors out there that are less expensive. For my money you get what you pay for with oracle.

Some Good Some bad Needs allot of updating

Pros

Access to large database, ability to control and regulate multiple aspects of business and employee features.

Cons

Time Keeping. Terrible time keeping arrangement, very slow to update, time cards are somewhat difficult to manage or adjust. Some clock punching do not register. Not very user friendly.

Efficient, All-In-One Platform for Employee-Centric Information

Pros

I appreciate that Oracle's E-Business Suite is well-organized into familial buckets, has quick response times to user input, and has a easy-to-use and navigable interface.

Cons

Oracle E-Business's Suite interface is somewhat antiquated and bland in design, particularly in color and contrast.
