We compared SAP ERP and Oracle ERP Cloud across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: SAP ERP is known for its complex setup and extensive integration capabilities. It is robust, user-friendly, and ensures data integrity. However, users desire better integration, flexibility, user interface, technical support, and implementation. On the other hand, Oracle ERP Cloud has a manageable setup and offers comprehensive financial solutions, customization features, flexibility, and integration options. Users suggest improvements in applications, insights, integration, payment transfer, payroll models, usability, and budgeting and reporting tools. Both solutions are considered high-priced, but Oracle ERP Cloud is seen as average compared to other vendors. Customer service and support for both solutions have mixed reviews, with room for improvement.
"The solution is user-friendly with a good integration layer."
"The scalability is very good."
"Smooth patches and upgrades which reduce costs and time for having a new version."
"I like the tool’s financial and human capital management features."
"The best part of Oracle ERP Cloud is that everything can be found in a single place."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"My company found the financial planning and budgeting modules of Oracle ERP Cloud more sophisticated and valuable than its other modules."
"The main component is Oracle Financial. It is one of the most comprehensive financial solutions available on the market."
"SAP ERP offers a wide range of functional modules, including payroll, HR, financials, and others."
"ERP can help manage all enterprise resources. It brings them together and provides some analytical data to inform management decisions."
"Everyone who uses SAP ERP has benefited from the functionality."
"ERP is stable. The outcome is clear to us as far as the design goes."
"Continuing to use it enabled continuity of business."
"It is an integrated application, and it has been working really well. Earlier, there were different companies for different applications for manufacturing, finance controlling, logistics, and quality. It probably was the first fully integrated application. Whenever somebody is entering any data, for example, invoice data or ordering data, everyone with a right to see this data can see it in the system."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the financial module, pre-configured packages, and plenty of features. The solution is updating and adding new features that are helpful."
"The Oracle ERP Cloud accounts payable could be improved."
"The main thing Cloud ERP could improve is usability. However, it's not just an issue with Oracle. Most ERP solutions are not very user-friendly, so I think that could be the key improvement."
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex."
"We have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based."
"Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined."
"It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens."
"Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production."
"I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI."
"The only feature that is not available in our current version is web access."
"There will always be something within our business that it won't fit."
"SAP ERP is scalable. We have some five to ten thousand SAP ERP users."
"The solution is not ready for the current e-commerce environment."
"One thing that is lacking in ERP is a good user interface. It is currently very clumsy and complex. Another thing is that reporting capability of SAP ERP is customizable, but it is not very good. Its development time is also very high if you require specialized technical services. If you want to do any changes to the report or develop a new report, you need people with specialized skills. Business processes are very straightforward and standardized as per the industry standards. However, the way it works is a bit complex, and you need to know a lot of things. There are different things that can be complex for a general user. A lot of information is being provided in ERP. A general user doesn't require all this information, and it creates a lot of confusion. Its learning curve is very high."
"It could always be cheaper. There is no doubt about it."
"The reporting feature could improve in SAP ERP. It could benefit from being more flexible."
"SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors."
