(1-25 of 65)What is your Wisdom, o Oracle?

- Incredibly powerful suite of tools that after training become second nature
- Easy to switch from on premise to cloud
- Advanced provisioning can be overwhelming to start with
- You are not forced to use other Oracle products, but are pushed
- Limited to Oracle infrastructure

- Business Intelligence
Oracle eBusiness Suite
- Order Booking and Fulfilment
- Invoicing
- Purchasing
- Record Keeping and Reporting
- Reporting can be Improved
- Auditing functionalities can be improved
Oracle EBS for your business
- End to End flow involving all possible business scenarios including Global Intercompany comes in handy
- Since all the products are integrated, auditing is easy and well maintained
- Oracle support always helps resolve bugs if found in the products
- Some localization, especially in European countries, needs to be improved.
- Some of the business process need improvement especially on the global intercompany process where not all business models are supported
- New bugs get introduced on quarterly patches that are supposed to fix other bugs
A Powerhouse ERP
- Integrates easily across modules (i.e. order management easily flows into financials for billing purposes).
- Integration with outside applications.
- Methods for troubleshooting could be easier.
- Error messages are often vague and make it difficult to pinpoint the exact problem.
Oracle eBusiness Suite Review
- Payables.
- Procurement.
- Purchasing.
- iProcurement.
- Consolidated reporting.
Oracle eBusiness Suite Review
- Generating financial numbers.
- Ease of customization using attribute fields.
- Complete one-stop solution for all ERP needs.
- Forms UI is a very old dated tech stack especially since R12 is heavily used across companies. It's better to have a more modern look
- Weblogic server is too heavy and difficult to manage.
- Expense is the one module where Oracle needs to improve a lot.
Oracle eBusiness Suite Review
- Oracle front end menu functionality is very user-friendly.
- Oracle has the ability to customize forms, and functionality to the way that users would like to see.
- Oracle is now going away from on-premise to more cloud-based, which as business analyst worries some for jobs.
- Oracle support for eBusiness isn't the greatest, its a random pick of skill level.
eBusiness Suite Review
- Huge product family.
- Customer support.
- High maturity.
- Extendibility.
- Ease of use.
- Technology.
- Maintenance overhead.
Analyst Review
- More customization pertaining to business needs.
- More delivered ad-hoc reports on FINANCE.
- Security for HR-related responsibilities.
- Reports on benefits modules.
- Quick navigation path for some menus.
- User-friendly reports.
- Oracle EBS is reliable and fast. The ability to customize it to build competitive advantages for our business is critical for us.
- Most of our business processes fit into the standard features set. This makes it easy for SOX compliance and for auditors to certify operations.
- The smooth, fast and reliable end to end order to cash process allows our business to run and scale based on demand.
- Oracle's financial modules enforce restrictions on users which make it possible to stay in control of transactions, budgets, GL entries, etc.
- Oracle's asset tracking module needs to be simplified to enter asset move transactions and allow open integration with a lot of platforms.
- The general ledger module needs to be improved to allow customization using ML models for anomaly detection and reporting. Currently, it requires significant manual checks.
- The Demand planning module needs to allow the application of ML models by business users with some knowledge of statistics.
EBS - Value for money & ROI
- Seamless Data interchange between different modules
- Strong and flexible Chart of Accounts and Ledgers
- Strong and scalable Project management
- Effective cross validation and security rules
- Role based access controls
- Financial Statement Generator had been a strong reporting object in GL. If a similar thing can be introduced into other modules.
- New Procurement features should be included such as Contract purchase order
- Some APIs don't have enough documentation and cannot be used
Awesome Developer
- General Ledger
- Accounts Receivables
- Accounts Payables
- Procurement
- Assets
- Reports
- UI Experience
- Build forms easier
Oracle eBusiness Suite Review
- Financial Transaction Life Cycles
- Concurrent Processing
- Simplified Front End applications.
Could use a few improvements
- Payment file generation to pay suppliers that are sent to banks.
- Invoice validations and payment batches.
- Currently, the process to enter the bank account information for the suppliers is a very manual process. It would be a huge improvement if it could provide an integrated solution to get the payment account information about the suppliers into the system.
- Oracle should enable payouts to suppliers by methods like "push-to-card" by using capabilities like Visa Direct. For this, it should provide a way for corporates to collect the card information from the suppliers. This will streamline the process quite a lot and we can get rid of printing paper checks. These new formats for card payouts should be added to the core functionality like NACHA format, etc.
eBusiness in a nutshell
- Period-end closing is one of our critical processes and the product has capabilities to reconcile the data seamlessly.
- A suite of products integrated to work together creating a single pane of glass for the organization.
- The latest technological advancements in the product help us being on the cutting edge and competitive.
- The lack of robustness around Oracle gateway (rest services) integration can be improved.
- Lack of documentation around how the internal structure is working is a concern with respect to online patching capabilities.
- More configurations options to avoid customizing the environment would be helpful.
It is less appropriate if time is a constraint to thoroughly test and implement since it is a massive undertaking behind the scenes to get it up and running.
Oracle eBusiness Suite simplified user interface with ready to integrate plugins for SSO integration.
- Over the period of years, it is enhancing and we are able to adapt to standards from customization.
- Financials and HR modules are really stable.
- Order management and asset management modules are getting better and several modules being introduced.
- User interface and ease of use.
- Security with roles and responsibility are better.
- User interface needs to improve a lot, especially get away from forms and java dependency, which makes it not accessible from mobile platforms.
- Limitations to launch multiple forms sessions.
- Online patching needs to be more error free and controllable.
- Cloning process needs to be simplified which takes care of database and application with GUI.
Less appropriate for asset management with preventive maintenance and job plans.
Oracle eBusiness Suite is well suited for any type of content, but you will need to depend on a third party for for some things. Preventative maintenance and other things like that are not included, so we work with IBM Maximo alongside that to make sure we have enough features.
Oracle eBusiness Suite Supply Chain
- Demand Planning and Forecasting.
- Order Creation and Processing.
- Order Scheduling/GOP.
- Demand Management, Forecast Accuracy and Configurability.
- Migration to Cloud.
- Customization Ability in Cloud.
Less Appropriate: Supply Planning capability in excel style front end with BOM explosion
Best ERP Software
- The EBS Oracle Order Management and Shipping Execution solution allows the creation of an integrated, seamless order-to-cash process and accurately capture of customer orders across multiple channels.
- Orchestration of order details for seamless fulfillment execution.
- Efficient shipment planning and confirmation.
- Communication of order status information to customers throughout the order lifecycle.
- Oracle eBusiness Suite should should be made completely HTML base and they should remove old forms technology.
- EBS must have better Navigation and drill down to review Transnational.
- EBS UI need to be improved.
Oracle EBS Is the integrated solution your company needs
- Payroll Management
- Accounting
- Fixed Assets Management
- Learning
- APEX
- iProcurement
Oracle eBusiness Suite Review
- Seamless project accounting
- Financial closing process
- Seamless integration
- The Oracle eBusiness Suite user interface is a bit dull
- It requires specific training and skills. It's not so very easy to use the platform, even though the application is very strong in its design to ensure all subsystems are well connected. Application can be made more intuitive to use
Oracle EBS is the best ;-)
- It is one of the best ERPs.
- The GL module is very powerful.
- The FAH module is not easily available with other ERPs.
- The installation process is not easy.
- FAH module needs little improvement for data maintenance.
- We need to educate customers to use most of its modules.
Oracle Financials R12
- Closely integrated across modules
- Details the process for sub ledgers and sub ledger accounting
- It is really good for any customization and integrations with the related products.
- Reporting
- Dashboards
Oracle eBusiness Suite - A Sensible Choice for Some
- I have a lot of experience using the Order Management module, and it can be as simple or complex as you need. There are workflows that can be customized too.
- There are many integrations possible with other applications.
- The more modules in the eBusiness Suite that you use, the more functionality you can expect out of it because it is designed for all of the moving parts to work together seamlessly.
- The cost of implementing the eBusiness Suite can be substantial, and licensing / maintenance are on-going expenses which are not cheap either.
- Finding support staff who are knowledgeable is a challenge. There are so many moving parts of the eBusiness Suite that support personnel tend to have "specialties" within the application (i.e. Order Management or Receivables). And because of simple principle of supply and demand, worthwhile support people and companies demand a premium.
- Oracle patching and upgrades are very frequent which can be seen as good or bad, but it is time consuming to have to test so often.
If your company does not have a substantial budget available for on-going support and license fees, you should probably look elsewhere.
Excellent financial tool!
- It allows to manage all the financial transactions.
- Allows to automate some processes that were manual.
- You can customize to meet your specific business needs.
- It lacks some innovation.
- The API integrations could be improved because they are not up to mark.
- Documentation too extensive, should have more specific answers.
