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.

Oracle's support is not that good for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Their support is expensive, and I don't think you're getting your bang for your buck. For the cloud product, they do give you support, but everything is online and you might not get somebody. I would give Oracle's support for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne about a 6.5 on a scale of one to 10.

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 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."
"The product has been stable so far."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience, where you can create your own queries, it sends you alerts, and it's very flexible."
"It has simplified the process completely, and even though it has many features which are available in the market now, but it is on par with the other ERPs that are available in the market now."
"It is easy to inquire about any account in our company."
"The product can scale."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."
"A stable and solid product."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days."
"While it is easy to handle, there is room for improvement compared to more sophisticated ERP systems."
"Oracle's support is not that good for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Their support is expensive, and I don't think you're getting your bang for your buck."
"Implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can have its challenges. For example, we faced issues like timeout exceptions in a recent integration project while pulling data from third-party systems."
"The Fixed Asset module is not desirable because it is complicated."
"Forms customization should be easier. Currently, it has to go through the development life cycle."
"Originally, there were some complications with implementation."
