Featured Reviews

Eugenio Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
Program adapts to our requirements and handles our operations effectively
The interface we use currently needs enhancement, as I am still using the outdated green screens. I would benefit for us to adpot the latest INFOR user interface, which is a more integrated interface. Additionally, improvements in warehouse handling with handheld terminal, quality management in warehouses, and managing a dual sourcing strategy would be beneficial. I have had to build my own applications for some features that are lacking, and aligning all components for uncertainty management in the market is necessary.
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.

"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens."
"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens. I would benefit from a more integrated interface."
"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."
"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly."
"Treasury management is typically used in forex, loans, trade management and property management is not available. The solution could improve if they added them."
"For large or sophisticated organizations, I would not recommend JD Edwards."
"The flexibility of workflows and multi-industry implementation support should be improved."
"The product’s pricing should be improved."
"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for."
"The only issue I see is Oracle's lack of focus on the product. When the sales team calls us, they try to promote OCI more than JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. They don't even talk about it. I feel there's no focus from Oracle Corporation themselves. The salespeople either don't know about it or don't talk about it. When they have something new, they only talk about EBS or OCI. This gives a feeling that there's no interest from Oracle. We don't see much new functionality being released or announced in the roadmap."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is variable due to different deals and discounts, typically starting at around $2000 US dollars for one license."
"Infor LX is not cheap but much cheaper compared to SAP HANA."
"Our last maintenance fee was around $15,000 a year for 33 current users."
"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."
"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 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."
"There is an annual license for this solution."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
