Presents all information in one place and automates some of our manual processes
This product is used by more than 50 colleges in our state and it is purchased by the government. The system office does the testing and pushes out the patches to us, so everything has been testing. Even if there is any customization that needs to be done, it happens before it comes to us. As such, I haven't had to contact technical support myself.
Eric Oboh - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables efficient finance and maintenance management with real-time data and strong integration
The integration between plant maintenance, stores, and financials is highly valued by my customers in the refinery business, as it allows for efficient maintenance processes and easily accessible financial information. Additionally, the mobile features are beneficial as they allow managers to approve or reject orders on the go. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides real-time data, which is very timely for decision-making. Managers have dashboards created for them that are readily updated for insightful information. This reflects the improved business intelligence features of the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"The product has been stable so far."
"JD Edwards is highly scalable and suitable for both small teams and large enterprises with hundreds of users."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is the flashback it quickly takes you to the data browser. Additionally, one of the newer tools is the orchestrator which is very good."
"A stable and solid product."
"The solution is stable."
"Access and visibility of different business processes on a single UI."
"Its user interface and ease of navigation are valuable."
"It’s a stable product."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"The initial setup of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is straightforward. However, it could improve."
"They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days."
"Forms customization should be easier. Currently, it has to go through the development life cycle."
"Lacking in certain areas of support."
"The Fixed Asset module is not desirable because it is complicated."
"The solution could be easier to implement. However, the complexity was in our internal processes meeting our country's requirements. Every country has a slightly different process, taxation, and rules. That was the difficult part, not the solution itself. I expect our experience would have been more or less the same with any ERP, such as SAP, Navision, or Dynamics."
"The product’s pricing should be improved."
"Financial side could be expanded by bringing in things like the IMS."
