Automation reduces manual processes and enhances operational efficiency
Almost all the features are useful, from procurement to manufacturing, as they are interconnected and useful. The procurement process stands out particularly. We have been able to implement customizations to meet our approval processes, making it easier to get PO approvals and requests approved. Having multiple people approve before a PO is completed is streamlined, and the system is easy to customize and modify. The system has reduced many manual processes, and we have automated several processes in Epicor ERP, allowing bots to run some processes without manual intervention. The system has enhanced accuracy, especially when the base data is correct and automation can read the data properly. The accuracy is above 90%, and when errors occur, automation informs users quickly before posting items to the GL. Epicor ERP has harmonized our processes and provides significant visibility in reporting. The internal reports of Epicor ERP have been instrumental in strategic planning.

Has shown limitations in digital capabilities but has supported key processes over time
JD Edwards World's real-time data analytics is very limited, and while it can be helpful, it is not the same as EnterpriseOne. I am currently using inventory management in JD Edwards World. I am satisfied with the security architecture in JD Edwards World; it is very easy and user-friendly. Even in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is very adaptable and you have role-based security without needing additional software. I am totally satisfied with the security part of JD Edwards World, but you must just know what you are doing. I am currently using on-premises JD Edwards World. My final mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now. Therefore, the way to go is EnterpriseOne or cloud. For current usage, I would rate JD Edwards World maybe a five. My overall review rating for JD Edwards World is five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to deploy through a generic implementation with proper configuration."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"The solution is great for production planning because everything is out of the box. It smoothly handles the process from engineering to ERP, including version management and subcontracting. These features aren't in NetSuite."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"It has helped control operations in our Storage and Distribution Center, including processes such as Product reception, Inventory, Quality and inspection management, Shipping, General ledger, and Invoicing."
"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"In terms of manufacturing and in terms of the configuring of the product to meet a variety of different types of manufacturing requirements, the product works well."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"We have been satisfied with how it works and how stable and reliable it is."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"The familiarity is great, and the ease of use is consistently there."
 

Cons

"The support rates at 50% because most of the time the support team needs to relearn the processes, especially when a new person is assigned."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"Everything requires changes, making it similar to developing a new platform from scratch."
"Epicor doesn't really have a proper cloud solution there, although they claim they do."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"Epicor ERP cannot handle complex planning situations, which for this organization became very complex, requiring a lot of customizations."
"AI and additional improvements could be made."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"Having tools that allow for small but fast adaptations of packages is crucial, as needing skilled programmers for every minor report or mask adaptation is a constraint my customers no longer favor."
"JD Edwards World is very outdated and not really supported anymore."
"There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
