More Odoo Pros →

"It can be an essential solution for those who can not just push to the cloud because they have critical data restrictions.""Oracle E-Business Suite's most valuable feature is the information that it provides. For example, it's good to know the AR due date and the receipt of the products that you have sold. It is a good solution overall for enterprise management.""The most valuable feature is its flexibility.""The order management is excellent.""The most valuable features of the Oracle E-Business Suite are best practices, built-in processes, and easy configuration. Plenty of system functionality and customization.""It was very easy to integrate the product into our existing infrastructure.""I like Oracle ERP for streamlining the entire process from PRTL and invoice payments. It also has the decision and internet sale order, and my customers can correct the internet decision. It automatically converts to the internet order, and they don't need to create the entry object. They don't need to make a secondary ledger in the parent company and subsidiary. That's very helpful for internet decisions. If they get an order at the parent company, it automatically creates the sales system in the subsidiary.""Great finance modules and customization."

Cons
"Odoo has room for improvement in industry-specific features.""The customization and technical support are not great.""The reporting and the interface could definitely be better.""Odoo lacks a complete dashboard, and the reports are basic. The reporting could be improved by adding some graphics.""Odoo's automation and workflow design tools could be better. It has some limitations compared to other ERP solutions like SAP. You should have the option to design workflows in order using BPM diagrams and tools that make it more versatile in terms of adapting to any workflow through low code.""There is room for improvement in Odoo, especially in enhancing its reporting capabilities.""Odoo could improve its newsletters and social media campaign features, which currently feel a bit weak.""The user interface is not the best."

More Odoo Cons →

"They should include database functionality.""Needs more real-time visualizations, in terms of smarter dashboards and reporting competing with the speed of HANA.""Oracle E-Business Suite uses an old technology (Forms), which is Java-based.""One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system.""More flexibility in configuration related to the Payroll module, in order to easily implement the local legislation.""It requires training before you can easily use this product, so it should be easier to use.""Standard reporting needs to be changed. Many of the standard reports look the same as they did in version 10.7, 20 years ago.""The users feel that the product is not user-friendly."

    Reviews from Real Users:

    Kopano R., Freelancer at a tech services company, says, “What I found most valuable in Oracle E-Business Suite is the patching because it is straightforward. As long as you follow Oracle's best practices, you are able to finish the task of patching without a problem. I like that it's also easy to add products, e.g. if you want to add on financials, you can, or if you don't have financials, you can expand on that. I like that Oracle E-Business Suite is really scalable.”

    Mohammed G., Senior Oracle Application Consultant at a comms service provider, writes, “Oracle E-Business Suite consists of a lot of streams, such as financial and HR processes of the enterprise companies. We are using most of the Oracle financial modules, and we have an Oracle stream, FI procurement stream, and HR streams, which have a lot of applications. Oracle E-Business Suite has over 20 different modules to choose from, it is comprehensive. Additionally, the integration is very good. “
