I used Oracle PMS during a span of more than 10 years. At the very beginning of my career in hospitality I started off with one of the earliest versions of Opera, which at that time was already way ahead from its pears, at a time when not many software companies cared much about hospitality applications. It was simply way above anything else available and twice better than the close competitor. For a few years, having changed companies in between I've used several PMS system, however all were really bad and difficult to use. I remember Marriott still running their PMS, which was DOS based and worked by remembering all the codes, the mouse was an optional on the PC. Having returned to Europe and another chain, Opera - Oracle PMS was there. Simply, thanks God. Took me a day to get to learn the new functionalities and I was back into the game. The newcomers in my team were trained super fast as it is a very easy PMS to learn and implement. I remember the whole team going through training sessions in one of the hotels as were were changing PMS and everyone learned the system so quickly, even managed to train a guy covering a shift (coming from a different hotel without Opera) to use it in 2 hours and spend the whole evening shift alone, it went without problems. I just simply recomend Oracle PMS to everyone in the industry.

Can't fault it, top of the line. Highly recommended to everyone.

In general, this cloud-based system is world class famous among hotels communities with convenient features. However its too depended on Internet and IT staffs. Its difficult for other departments when having trouble with IT staffs not available. One of my favorite functions when using this system is that I can export reports to delimited data such as HTML, XML and excel file then I can process the data to be more neat and submit reports to managers before Night Manager runs end-of-day function to advance all transactions to the next days.

My role is a receptionist so the all cashier functions are very easy for me to record payments on the software and generate accurate reports such as currency exchange, swipe and record credit card number. The rooms assignment functions are very smart help me recognize instant available rooms for guest and check all room status. The interface is also user-friendly. There are also a button directing to a tutorial page for all departments of a hotel at after-login screen.

Cloud-based system is too depended on Internet and IT departments. Once Internet loss incidents happen the front desk workers such as me will have trouble with customers such as cannot finding a room for guests or issuing payment invoice if they are in a hurry . All of my tasks depend on Opera software system and must completed quickly to obtain guest satisfaction. I don't know if there is offline version anywhere but at my working place we do not have.

None

Without proper customer support any possible benefits to using their software are negated. I literally like NOTHING about his software. It's a giant money pit.

For well over 2 years we've been using the Micros Opera Xpress hosted PMS (now Oracle Xpress). Initially the software wasn't great (we didn't find out until after we had been promised access from tablets and mobile devices that it was a Java program that won't run on anything except Windows Explorer) and the training was definitely sub-par, however, Micros at least had decent support and you didn't wait at least half an hour to talk to a support rep. Once Oracle took over it went from mediocre to absolute torture. The platform is slow, the customer service is abysmal (they always tell you they can't help you because it's hosted and the hosting team will need to look at it and they never get back to you) and features we initially paid for are no longer accessible because Oracle decided they weren't completely secure on their hosted platform and rather than fix the problem they just disabled functionality altogether. We have literally had support tickets open for months and some portion of the system goes offline at least once a month. On top of all this, they want to nickel and dime you for everything. They literally don't allow you to edit your own forms but they are happy to charge you to edit them, meanwhile you are paying a fortune for the platform and for nonexistent support. For 2017 my primary goal is to get both our hotels off the platform and we will never use another Oracle product again. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!

Easy to use, same as using windows.

Easy to learn from scratch and teach to newcomers. The tutorials are easy to follow and a great learning tool. There are several plug-ins available for S&M or Restaurant. Easy to make changes and correct any issue team members might have caused. Offers an integrated payment system allowing to use a swipe keyboard and speed up the payment process at check in/out. Highly recorded. I used several hospitality software during my career and none can match it.

No major issues with the system. We had an issue with downtimes extending and sometimes global issues with servers going down, leaving us without the access to the PMS for hours sometimes.

I would like to say it very user friendly and easy to learn. I would like to suggest those who are wanted to switch the PMS, they can switch by Oracle Hospitality Property Management. Also I would say their support team are very much cooperative.

I started my career from front office department and this is my first PMS in my career. First I would like to introduce this PMS are very much user friendly and easy to learn. The most attractive features are folio management system and alerting system, For an example If I keep any massage for a particular guest or arrival guest, whenever I go to his or her room in the system, the message come out.

I like the most features of Oracle Hospitality Property Management . But I would like to suggest that need to implement the system in online base. Like my manager can check everything though the online access from the home.
