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:

  • Ease of Deployment: SAP ERP's setup process is lengthy and intricate, often lasting for several months or even years. Oracle ERP Cloud's setup can range in difficulty, with some users finding it simple and uncomplicated. 
  • Features: SAP ERP is highly regarded for its seamless integration, strong performance, and wide range of functionalities, including Material Management and Financial Accounting. Oracle ERP Cloud is appreciated for its all-encompassing financial solution, customizable features, and ability to generate real-time reports. Additionally, its user-friendly interface and cloud-based accessibility make it easily accessible to users.
  • Room for Improvement: SAP ERP could benefit from enhancements in integration, flexibility, user interface, technical support, and reporting capabilities. Oracle ERP Cloud's users recommend improvements in applications, integration, payment transfer, offline functionality, and budgeting and reporting tools.
  • Pricing: SAP ERP offers flexible pricing based on company size and needs. In contrast, Oracle ERP Cloud is known for its high price, comparable to other leading solutions.

Comparison Results: SAP ERP is known for its complex setup and extensive integration capabilities. It is robust, user-friendly, and ensures data integrity.

"From a long-term perspective, I can say that the solution can offer a return on investment, but it may take around three to four years for our company to experience it.""The stability and performance are good.""It provides great visibility into the details of enterprise resource planning.""The stability is SAP ERP is not good only because the version is old. They could work on improving the versions.""This product is very scalable and easy to expand.""The implementation is very straightforward.""The payroll solution and the localization for advances are valuable.""Everyone who uses SAP ERP has benefited from the functionality."

Cons
"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.""Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities.""Improve support services in the new features roadmap.""Technical support is good, however, sometimes we do need to wait for an answer.""The interface could be improved in future releases.""I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI.""The stability is not as good as Informatica, but this is very good."

More Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP Cons →

"It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities.""Technical support is an area that is in need of improvement.""I think that implementation could be simplified.""There is room for improvement in the integration of the solution, especially in the payroll area.""The problem with SAP is that whenever there is a modification, or if a new field needs to be added, they charge tens of thousands, hundreds, or even two hundred thousand dollars. That is not anything in which I am really interested. For instance, consider a single-use case. I have to enter the root causes for a certain operation or failure. That option does not exist anywhere in SAP, not in manufacturing, not in logistics, not in anything. It is completely missing. The root cause analysis is very common across industries, yet SAP does not offer this option. A line field or a metaparticle, for example, was delayed. If you have the choice to input the warehouse operator or if the person who submitted the document has the opportunity to enter, this has been postponed for N, X, Y, or Z reasons.""ERP could use better integration with other systems.""The only feature that is not available in our current version is web access.""It needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions."

These costs may include but are not limited to, additional materials, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses that may arise during the course of the project.

    Why Customers Choose Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP:

  • Predict, detect, and act on new situations

With AI, up to 96% of transactions can be automated.

  • Simplify and speed everyday work

    Oracle’s AI-powered digital assistant simplifies and speeds common tasks, allowing you to ask simple questions like “what’s the status of my open purchase requisitions?” and “what reconciliations are due today?” Personalized tasks like invoices or over-budget notifications are delivered to you proactively, so approvals move faster too.

  • Launch new business models, faster

    Staying ahead of customer trends and emerging competitors gets harder every day. With Oracle cloud ERP, it's easier to identify and launch new business models—and monitor results in real time so you can constantly refine your approach. Paired with machine learning insights like customer churn, you'll predict and avoid problems before they can do harm.
