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.

Pros

"We find the ease of use, customization, and user interface valuable."
"I think it is strong in sales, inventory, and pricing."
"The navigation interface is user-friendly and easy to understand for any user. Many new employees who have joined our organization from different companies, having worked with SAP and Oracle E-Business Suite, have given positive feedback about JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. They particularly appreciate the types of reports, MIS capabilities, and how quickly and easily they can extract data. According to senior management from other organizations, these features are faster, easier, and more convenient than SAP."

Cons

"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"They have the interface with Hubble and other reporting, however, we just want that to be a part of JD Edwards."
"The solution could improve by having additional efficient analytics available to more users. They should allow a sample database to be able to test and do proof of concept would be extremely valuable to all of our clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"In terms of pricing, we have a lot of problems because companies here don't have enough resources to acquire the product. So we need to evaluate the price according to our demographic...The license cost is around 1,00,000 euros."
"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
"It's very competitively priced. The only problem now is that most of the industry is moving towards software as a service or a subscription model, whereas JD Edwards has a capital expenditure. You would spend on the licenses once off. You can either host it on-premise or in the cloud, but there is a licensing fee once a year."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
