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The interface we use currently needs enhancement, as I am still using the outdated green screens.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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Infor LX is not cheap but much cheaper compared to SAP HANA."

"Pricing is variable due to different deals and discounts, typically starting at around $2000 US dollars for one license."

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has a lot of value for the money. The implementation cost and license cost are quite reasonable compared to other solutions, such as Oracle EBS or SAP."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
