Used across the accounting and finance functions for daily control, interfacing from retail insurance systems and reporting into monthly head office reporting packages.
  • Intuitive user experience, great help available and can be added to for our processes.
  • Handles huge number of journal lines.
  • Quick and easy asset processes.
  • Reporting is not modern, comprehensive capabilities but difficult to write extended reports, must write and count every position across the page otherwise columns are mis-displayed.
  • User experience when uploading journals from spreadsheet is not good.
  • The way in which reports and other concurrent jobs from the job queue are accessed is not user friendly.
Will be great to use in small and large organisations. But users need training before using unsupervised. Great functional capability and asset system is really flexible. Ensuring consistency in naming of transactions and finding them is sometimes difficult. Really easy to interface from external applications. There is such a wide range of options to develope interfaces out to external applications it can be confusing to pick one.

It is used for the entire procure-to-pay process across the organization. It addresses Procure-to-Pay and EAM process areas particularly.
  • In integration of external projects application with EBS
  • Maintain the various work orders in the organization warehouses and detail the shift hours of the warehouse workers
  • Oracle applications have helped in streamlining the SoW contract process of the service agreement
  • Repository Contracts - Large data files if uploaded to database will clog the database tables. It would be better to have a mechanism to store large files outside the database.
  • Services Procurement is not properly integrated to Projects and tasks. Heavy customization done in my experience to integrate projects & tasks with services procurement module while creating requisitions.
  • XML Gateway is a module which does not support any new business standard namely Rosettanet for importing or exporting XML data. The only option is to opt for SOA-BPEL where there is a cost involved.

Large business and global presence suits eBusiness Suite implementation. For Small businesses eBusiness Suite will be overkill. Also, when the system changes are too frequent like in the eCommerce business or portal management with frequent changes, eBusiness Suite is not the right fit.

In environments where different departments have different logical and physical locations and operations, eBusiness Suite is the best fit.

EBS is our core financial system. It is used globally across all functions and geographies. We have GL, AP, AR, FA, CM, iExpense , AGIS modules
  • Data Security
  • Integrated data across the end to end process
  • Easy Extensibility through development
  • Easy Integration with different systems
  • User Interface needs to be upgraded to be more aligned with the newer Cloud software tools
  • Speed at which large datasets are processed needs to be improved
  • Real Time Data Analytics is a big hole in the available capabilities.
  • Supplier Marketplace capabilities are seriously underpowered
Core Financials Capabilities are very strong and well defined. More complex scenarios around Intercompany and Tax have proved to be a very difficult nut to crack. Processing large data volumes within the Financial Modules has been surprisingly underpowered. Concurrent Programs seem to run for ever when volumes go up. And it’s not a relatively huge data set. (100K records or so) User Interface needs to be upgraded

Across our entire organization. Initially, it is being implemented to reduce inventory and make the company more efficient at building our products.
  • Enforce good business practices and processes
  • Automate processes that were previously manual
  • Allow for a customized solution
  • Quicker turnaround time on non P1 issues
  • Improved enhancement request process
  • Out of the box webservice options for integration requests
Works well in a manufacturing industry with standard processes. Doesn’t work well in high change or dynamic process flow installations.

Our finance and HR departments use the Oracle e-Business modules which include HCM (HR, Payroll and OTL), Financials (AR, AP, GL, Cash Management and Fixed Assets), Projects & Awards, and Labor Distribution. We also use Hyperion Cloud budgeting system.
  • Good integration between modules
  • Has many standard features to enable our business processes
  • Able to customize to serve different business needs most of the time
  • Oracle support and big user groups are helpful on various issues and implementation
  • The applications are huge and very complex in implementation
  • Many times, customization is needed to satisfy the business process
  • Patch installations and testing are always a challenge
  • Year-end patches for HR and Payroll have a very tight timeline/schedule
When a company chooses to use many Oracle modules, the integration is good.

It is used across the organization. It addresses the following problems: It takes care of procurement, helps in paying bills to suppliers in time, gets the approvals from the appropriate managers, manages cash flow, manages projects, and keeps employee records all in one place. Overall, it helps with asset management and expenses.
  • Workflow engine is pretty strong, which helps to get the approvals from right personnel
  • Entire P2P is very well integrated
  • We can keep and depreciate assets in one place
  • Simplify Receivables. It is way too complex, especially the Customer screen
  • Web Forms are very rigid to customize
  • Too many issues with Tax
Good for small to medium companies . Less appropriate in manufacturing.

Oracle eBusiness Suite is the core process for our financial transactions sent from our virtual manufacturing system, and was integrated with OBIEE data warehouse, and Agile PLM Project.
  • Increase efficiency and reduce operational cost
  • Reduces cost
  • Help a business make better decisions due to its efficacy
Good for anyone whose business is global. Its con is that it is expensive for small businesses.

Oracle eBS is used in all of our subsidiaries. The financial modules that we currently use are AP, AR, Purchasing, Fixed Assets, General Ledger, and iExpense.
  • Easy to find personnel with experience to implement, use, troubleshoot, or audit the financial system
  • Flexibility in customization with a broad range of capabilities that allow worldwide usage
  • End to end connectivity between the modules
  • Some simple features that are critical do not come out of the box and you still need a developer or consultant
  • Some areas like FSG reporting, standard reports, and WebADI are pretty old technology that essentially require additional add-ons to be functional
Powerful for multi-national, multi-currency companies. Manufacturers that carry inventory or have significant intercompany activity.

eBS is being used by our Finance and Procurement departments to process financial transactions and as the source for our Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition management reporting tool. We also use it to interface into our DRM application and in conjunction with Hyperion Budgeting and Planning application to produce our financial statements.
  • Comprehensive modules for tracking regular GL transactions and sub-ledgers including fixed assets, employee expenses, P-card, and project costing.
  • Good interface with eBS with their 'Approval Management Engine' feature. Enables complex workflow.
  • Fairly stable
  • It takes 1.5 - 2 years for bugs to be worked out of upgrades and new releases. They should do more comprehensive testing prior to release.
  • Role-based access is clumsy and it is very difficult to identify/extract functionality/permissions provided by defined 'Responsibility'
  • Data loads take a very long time. Appear to be inefficiently architected.
Well-suited to large organizations with large volume of transactions. Not particularly well-suited to receivables for health-care organizations (admissions, discharges). Does not integrate particularly well with 3rd party applications for A/P invoice scanning and workflow.

Oracle EBS was implemented as a full end-to-end solution across the enterprise. [It was used for] financials, payroll, and HR. It removed the issue of duplicate and disparate systems as well as providing a single point of entry.
  • Integration of modules allowing hire to fire process flow and approvals.
  • Allows customization to meet our specific business needs and not rely on Oracle to do coding.
  • Allows robust reporting with OBIEE integration.
  • Continued progress on integration of recruit & onboarding functions
  • Improvement of advanced benefit functions
  • Year-end W-2 creation and delivery
Large distributed locations are able to be seamlessly integrated both financially and on the human (resource) side. A common interface and operability reduce employee learning time.

It is being used across our entire organization, worldwide. It provides us with an integrated platform to handle financial transactions, manufacturing, shipping, demand management, and human resources. We have integrated it with our BI and GRCC systems (both ORACLE products). The software enables us to meet all of our business requirements on one platform.
  • It enables us to close our books in a timely and accurate manner during monthly, quarterly, and year-end closings
  • We can integrate our manufacturing operations with the financial components.
  • Mobile applications enable the factory operations to directly communicate with eBusiness Suite
  • The patching process never ends and takes a tremendous amount of time to perform testing. No matter how many patches we install, there is no end.
  • The forms are archaic technology and should not be in this product in this day and age. HTML is the way.
Well suited for very large companies (the on-premise version). I would not recommend the on-premise implementation for small or newly formed companies. It is too complex to manage and expensive to hire the people to maintain it. Most companies, once they start the E-Business Street route, never come off it. It is not a decision to be taken lightly.

As a consultant, we help clients with implementations, upgrades, etc., of Oracle EBS and related technologies. Great product enhancements in 12.2.7 and the future of EBS is looking bright!
  • Financials, Mfg., HCM, "I" products like iExpense, iProcurement, Mobile Applications are great
  • UI, removal of Java, going from OAF to old Forms
It's a great product, serving organizations for many many years; needs a facelift which it seems to be getting, looking forward to 12.3.

  • Oracle Financials is one of the best products supporting wide range countries
  • A very stabilized system with 20+ years of improvements
  • Supports High availability, Large systems, different timezones
  • Doesn't have a great look & feel but there is lot of improvements
  • Migrating from professions forms is OAF is a good sign but OAF performance is lesser than forms
  • Complicated in terms of integration with LDAP products for SSO
This is very well suited for bigger organizations where the customer would like to maintain one system for all their internal business operations. This provides all services for a organization starting from HR, Facilities, Finance, IT Support, etc.,

Oracle is used by the whole organisation which consists of 40,000+ employees in over 42 countries. It is being used for HCM and financials. Because of the diverse parts of the business (different acquisitions), there is differing legislation and acquisition policy which means each country has a different setup/configuration. Payroll is only used for UK and US and the rest of world uses third-party providers with extracts from Oracle.
  • Legislative updates for payroll are regularly and quickly rolled out by Oracle to incorporate annual changes and are supported very well by Oracle.
  • Self-Service functions are very user friendly and can easily be personalized/customized to meet requirements.
  • Support is very good and bugs are fixed in a frequent and timely manner based on urgency.
  • Enhancement requests are never implemented from what I have experienced.
  • Error messages/codes are not always very meaningful.
  • Customizations are not supported.
For a business operating in many different business groups/countries it is very well suited due to the timely and frequent release of legislative updates to meet country-specific legislation.

I have 2 roles where Oracle eBusiness Suite is used by my organization. Both are used as the main ERP system for the whole corporation. However, some business units (particularly recently acquired ones) do not use most of all modules of our Oracle EBS. It solves the business problem of having a single source of truth, particularly from a corporate view. It also allows the use of shared-services as shared-service team benefits from utilizing the same system as the business units that they are supporting.
  • Oracle EBS and SAP are main competitors for large Fortune 500 type clients. Oracle is better than SAP in terms of customizing or for non-standard businesses
  • Flexfield is something specific to Oracle EBS and allows customization in variables
  • Oracle owns PeopleSoft so migration from software like PeopleSoft to Oracle is easier
  • Oracle tends to be cheaper to implement vs SAP out of the box
  • User interface is still behind customer-based software like those by Google
  • New and smaller ERP systems tend to have better automation and GUI
  • Oracle EBS R12 still blends both webpage with Java interface from prior version
Oracle EBS is better suited for businesses with business models that are not manufacturing or standard. It is also made for large companies as its costs and upkeep requires more resources.

SAP is better suited for manufacturing companies (widget-in/widget-out companies). SAP is also more accounting friendly than Oracle to implement. Oracle EBS is stable, but its interface is archaic.

Our organization supports and maintains Oracle eBusiness Suite applications, databases and hardware. My external customer in HR department maintains HR records, assignment activities and performs payroll functions using eBusiness Suite. Oracle eBusiness Suite provides my customer a solution to address HR activities, job assignments, record keeping, bi-monthly payroll calculation and mandatory Federal & State reporting.
  • Oracle EBS HR/Payroll module is a timeline based application that allows retro entry and edits, it fits true HR department use cases.
  • Payroll functions are robust where it captures details for earning and deductions and offers flexibility of customizing how each earning and deduction should behave through formulas and rules.
  • Application interface design, I felt it was built from a technical perspective. Interface content should shift focus to user-friendly design where titles, options, and settings should be more intuitive.
Based off my experience of Oracle EBS HR/Payroll module, I believe it is well suited for an organization that has straightforward HR activities and HR payroll rules Oracle EBS would be ideal, for an organization with low employment turn-over rate and primarily full-time salaried position. It is less appropriate for an organization that has high turn-over rate and requires detailed work hour tracking or late entries. But maybe this is just the small scope of EBS that I have worked with and it may still work well in combination with other EBS modules.

Oracle eBusiness Suite is being used across the entire organization to ensure consistent and central cost capturing is performed in a single suite versus legacy GL apps. Currently, SCM, Projects, and EAM modules are being utilized to capture everything from supplier chain management to project and asset management, tying all related expenses together.
  • General Ledger transactional cost/expense management.
  • GAAP and IFRS compliant.
  • Support Major and Local ledgers for global consolidated reporting.
  • Support of global languages and currencies.
  • It should have adapters to support maintenance of Master Data from other Oracle apps such as Oracle Data Relationship Management for easier integration.
  • It needs easier Login and Navigation into the product and less complication of the configuring of forms users must use to enter values.
  • It needs to have full integration with Oracle Workspace that includes the Oracle GL module icon along with the other products based on subscriptions.
Oracle eBusiness Suite is well suited in almost every situation and use case. Oracle EBS provides linkage of financials, resource management, supplier management, procurement, project management, asset management and many other disciplines under one umbrella. This ensures management and consistency of complex operations for organizations with global operations and if setup correctly consolidating local ledgers into one globally consolidated ledger.

Oracle EBS is very suitable for a company who is facing difficulty with a separated database, disorganized organization, lack of knowledge in business practice and having vision as a public listed company. Oracle EBS provides modular functions that a company can select which function they consider as top priority. Companies can choose to have Financial & SCM clouds as their back office, Salesforce.com for marketing and an on-premise solution for their manufacturing execution. Nevertheless, choosing the right product is always a good investment for the company
  • Modular based function, so we can choose to go basic for the first wave, or strike to the advanced function
  • Sarbanes-Oxley compliance
  • Server based application, hence every patch or update does not need updates on the client side.
  • Less investment for IT resources and availability in the market is larger than competitor. Since it used PL/SQL programming language.
  • Best of breed, since it combined advantages from products such as JDE, Peoplesoft, NetSuite, into Oracle EBS.
  • Since the release of Oracle Fusion Cloud, the level of Oracle support is degrading. In some cases local support works better than theirs.
  • Oracle EBS requires a stable network connection. It might not be an issue for developed countries, but will be for developing countries.
  • It needs additional products such as BI or Qlikview for Dashboard analysis. These features were supposed to be standard "C" level requirements.
Oracle EBS is suitable for a company replacing their old ERP or seeking for an advanced ERP replacing their spreadsheet. During implementation, it required high "commitment and compromises" between consultant and business user. Manage the management expectation, so the result will satisfy the company BOD. Since the licensing scheme is relatively expensive, you might to look at NetSuite, Acumatica or Dynamic AX, if your company transaction is not high

We've implemented eBusiness Suit for a variety of clients in healthcare and public sector industries where it was primarily used as HRIS system covering the Benefits, Time & Labor, Absence Management and most importantly, payroll. The biggest problem it has addressed is the fragmentation of systems. All of the clients who are now using it had a major concern about having to use multiple systems for different aspects of HR which is now successfully eliminated since Oracle EBS does everything for them.
  • One system that does everything. Whether it's benefits or absence or payroll and day to day HRIS. This eliminates the need of maintaining the integrations and results in one flawlessly connected system.
  • Privately hosted so that you have complete control of your data. This has been a key factor in purchasing EBS over cloud applications for many organisations for whom, managing data outside their premise is just not an option.
  • EBS is not limited to HRMS and has brilliant Finance, Manufacturing, Projects, amongst other applications. Having them all from one vendor ensures uniform experience across different applications.
  • Very outdated UI. If not for its capabilities, no one would probably ever consider using it.
  • With the rise of Oracle Fusion applications, the future of EBS might be in danger.
  • The costing is a big issue and is certainly not a good idea for mid size or small clients.
  • The entire application is based on Java which at times could be extreamly frustrating becasue 'Java.null.pointer' errors are not fun to deal with.
  • API integrations is not up to mark and can certainly be improved.
[Oracle eBusiness Suite is well suited for] Organisations which want to have an on-premise system. Generally, the public sector industries and other industries where data privacy is an issue and having it hosted on outside their own servers is just not an option, EBS could be a viable option. Also, EBS is not a good option to go with if you are midsized or small organisation. So in nutshell, if you're a big organisation with enough funding and resources to manage the EBS servers on premises, EBS is an option to look forward to.

It has been our company ERP for the past 15 years. It is used for general accounting, payables, receivables, and POs.
  • Excellent reporting capabilities
  • Very stable system
  • User friendly
  • Not cloud based
  • Administration is complicated
  • Use of Java is problematic
It well suited for medium to large businesses. This is because it is more on the expensive side but it does compensate for that with functionality.

The Oracle eBusiness Suite is used across the organization, does its job well - all our info is in one place easily accessible. Again, one of Oracle's finest offerings is easily customizable, good workflow options, alerting capabilities and impressive integration with other companies and products.
  • Alerting mechanisms
  • Cross product integration
  • Oracle Support
  • Ease of use
  • Extensive documentation but no specific answers to known issues
  • Sensitive in terms of upgrades, can cause a big mess
  • Reporting could use some more customization functionality
If you are ready to take that initial setup step with the large learning curve, things will get better. The product is impressive and we have never had issues with Oracle Support in regards to this product.

Oracle eBusiness Suite offers a robust set of features to help manage a company's or organization's operations. It's features includes CRM management , supply chain management, financial management, order processing, and even human resource management tools. Highly effective, the product can be a solid way to perform many duties for managing a company's operations. We utilized the suite as an effective multi-tool application for many business needs. It provided applications for CRM, human resource, financial, and services management from a single portal. The financial application was especially helpful when combined with the CRM tool.
  • The product excels at sales management and product services. Its CRM features were especially helpful for our organization.
  • Oracle eBusiness Suite can help streamline business operations on many levels including employee management.
  • Its CRM capabilities are advanced enough to address most small to mid size company needs.
  • The financial tool set was more than robust for our needs and helped eliminate the needs for financial management applications.
  • The product can be difficult to use by end users and those with limited experience with Oracle products.
  • The interface could be improved to help streamline many types of operations such as financial reporting.
  • The product continues to have issues with certain Web browsers when accessing its services through a web portal.
  • The suite, like many Internet enabled applications, depends on a strong network connection. When working from a remote location with a problematic network connection, the product can be more challenging to use for end users.
The product is really suited to meet a combination of business needs that usually would require multiple products. Its comprehensive and solid features can be used to manage the overall operations of most small to mid level companies. The product works well across multiple locations and offices, if a strong network connection is present. As an all in one product, the suite can help an organization or company save a great deal of money in many circumstances. However, the product is not inexpensive. Perhaps the best feature of the product is the ability to choose which modules are needed, avoiding the implementation of any unnecessary features.

It is being used across the whole organization. It handles billing, invoicing, product catalog, pricing, vendor details , subscriptions (OKS) and order management.
  • Oracle eBusiness suite's Advance Pricing has lot of powerful features. It offers great flexibility with qualifiers and modifiers and provides multi-level pricing.
  • The product catalog also offers for combination of attributes to define a part. The versatile and robust item master provides ability to manage catalog with hundreds of thousands of parts.
  • Invoicing is a strong feature of eBusiness suite. EBS AR offers ability to provide flexible invoicing rules to meet customer needs. While the default invoice presentation does not provide attractive templates, it can be supplemented with the integration with BI publisher.
  • Service Contracts offers great ways to manage subscriptions. Ability to manage payments at the line level, attributes at the line level, ability to roll up details at the contract level are some of the great features.
  • As I mentioned, bill presentment can be improved. In today's world, customers demand a lot and in this area, and EBS out of the box does not carry many capabilities.
  • Credit and rebill is a bit rigid for its own reason. We offer features where the customers can request crediting of a line from invoice or credit and rebill the entire invoice at once. There are workaround ways to do it but it creates duplicate orders on OM .
eBusiness Suite is very suited for complex pricing and invoicing rules.

We use Oracle EBS throughout the company. We have the entire financial suite, purchasing, order management, Advanced Supply Chain Planning, as well as most of the supply chain modules. We do not use warehouse management or shop floor management as this time.

EBS runs our business from the shop floor to the financials.
  • EBS financial modules work well for us.
  • Order management is a breeze with EBS.
  • Advanced Supply Chain Management keeps our supply chain moving and helps the planners and purchasing departments.
  • Reporting could use work. We have to rely on third party reporting tools to get the reports we need.
  • Lots of Java issues. Any Java update can cause issues for the users.
  • Oracle support is not that supportive. Its a struggle to get a ticket resolved without a lot of time and patience.
Overall EBS is a good ERP if configured correctly. But that entails a ton of development work and customization. If you only need the financial modules, I think the system is a 9/10. The other modules is where I think the system runs into issues. Supply chain could use work as some aspects of the processes don't make sense for the majority of manufacturers.
