"The system is reliable and the backbone of financial and other core systems in many organizations worldwide."
"It is scalable."
"Financial and asset management features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"The most valuable features of Oracle E-Business Suite are all the 15 to 20 modules. We use them on a day-to-day basis."
"The GL and FAH modules have become real-deal players for an organization with many legacy systems that handle transactions and where there is a need to create accounting from these transactions."
"As we have been using this for the past nine years we have had the opportunity to explore the product. Really everything has worked well and all the modules are very good."
"It is a configurable, scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is fast reporting."
"The initial setup or implementation process of the solution is fine. The deployment process took place in two days. So, once one has the runbook and everything in place, it is not that difficult."
"The application design is beautiful."
"Oracle HCM has a great reporting platform, OTPI, with drag-and-drop functionality. I can design my own reports without relying on the technical team. This empowers HR users to create reports based on their needs, which is a huge advantage."
"The most valuable feature is the support for mobile devices."
"This product can greatly improve handling of human resources and efficiency."
"In general, functionality is fine."
"The way things are going, Oracle is not putting much effort into their master data management. They need to look into machine data and then the integrated data domain."
"User interface is outdated and not user friendly."
"It would be great to see Oracle E-Business Suite become less dependent on the SAO solution, which is an integration solution for Oracle platforms."
"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"The implementation took a long time but it was for many reasons. However, Oracle made sure that the solution and systems were up and running."
"From the business processes, there are areas where you could streamline new processes."
"Pricing is the biggest disadvantage of Oracle."
"Areas for improvement would be that sometimes it's a bit rigid with customization and doesn't always facilitate region-specific requirements."
"Lacks relevancy for the current generation."
"An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard."
"I would like to see more direct access for both human resources and employees without so many screens to navigate."
"The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."
"I think they should have a larger data center in China, which would significantly increase the access speed from my current workspace."
"It is a cloud solution, so we cannot do much customization. However, if you have a past license, you can do the customization, but unfortunately, we don't have a past license. If we had that, we would have been 100% happy."
"The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration."
"The initial setup is straightforward. However, it is more complex than Oracle Taleo because it has a lot more features have complexity."
