it was (previously) not aesthetically pleasing. It's more user friendly, now. They changed the interface, so there's not so many duplicate screens.
The number one way they improved this product was something called workspaces. This is like a dashboard meant for, depending on your role with a specific organization, so maybe if you're in accounting and financials, you need to see accounts receivable, accounts payable, your general ledger, so you could set up a dashboard for when you first login -- to drill down into the most important parts of your job and requirements with the company that you need visibility into -- rather than having to start from scratch, so you could set up your own dashboard. Macola is user based, so say you have seven primary users in your company, say you have your president, your CFO, your controller, your accounting manager, your IT person, your operations person, and your warehouse manager, you can customize as many as you want, depending on how many users you buy and have each individual dashboard be tailored towards that individual and their job/role with the company.

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

"Whether it's light or heavy manufacturing with bill of materials, traceability, order entry, stuff like that, I mean, that's probably the number one strength of Macola ES, I would say, for light and heavy manufacturing organizations."
"The product has been stable so far."
"But for large enterprises, it's a very good and cost-effective solution that's competitive with other products like SAP."
"The financials are great."
"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 is highly configurable. You have a choice in terms of how you want to run it. You can run it in your own data center, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. The choice is really up to the customer."
"JD Edwards is highly scalable and suitable for both small teams and large enterprises with hundreds of users."
"It’s a good ERP system that gives users ease-of-use, the flexibility to integrate with other systems, and the ability to meet most of the KPIs."
"The solution is very customizable according to business needs."
 

Cons

"If you have to call Exact Macola directly as a developer, it's like calling Verizon; you don't know if you're speaking with someone from India, or knows anything about your account, or they're seeing it for the first time."
"The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly."
"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."
"The report development tools needs more GUI interfaces and it needs to be more user centric."
"We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task."
"From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs."
"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for."
"If they can research and make the installation part easier or more user-friendly, it would be nice."
"For large or sophisticated organizations, I would not recommend JD Edwards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is very high. Even though the license is perpetual yet you have to get the maintenance. Since we pay using Pesos, it's very expensive."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"There is an annual license for this solution."
