Overall Satisfaction with Oracle eBusiness Suite

[Oracle eBusiness Suite is being used] across the whole organization. It covers the Manufacturing and Financial needs.
  • Covering almost all the functionalities of Manufacturing cycle.
  • Easy for business users to navigate and perform activities.
  • GL fundamental is strong enough to cover the accounting.
  • GL Complexity. Though it is strong, it's very complicated to manage. Lots of processes involved before getting the final account summary. NetSuite and Workday provide easy method of tagging the account on transactions and provide GL summary without any additional processes in between.
  • Revenue Recognition - Not sure if latest versions of ERP address this. But, most companies go with external vendors for recognizing revenue to cover 605/606 standards.
  • It addresses the needs now. Yet to see how it will work when business is expanding.
I have used Workday for HR & Payroll. It looks better than Oracle HCM. They are targeting Workday Financials. I feel they would compete and get good success in winning small/medium companies.
I will recommend for sure. Maybe I am biased since I have worked in Oracle/Java in my entire professional career. It is suited for small/medium/big companies. But, many big clients (EMC, VMware) went with SAP after years of using Oracle. That's the mentality the top management gets in most places. They start disliking Oracle. It could be because of 'endless patches' and maintenance, bugs that they need to deal with frequently. In this cloud era, everyone wants reports and metrics in very elegant manner in very quick way. Standard ERP doesn't provide that kind of report.
