reviewer2149446 - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Director at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Consistent optimization of production and efficient procurement processes improve operational effectiveness
I am working as an IT Director at Istituto De Angeli, which is a company of Fareva. FAREVA is a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, makeup, and home and industrial care products. I have worked with the traceability and audit features in Infor LX, including the electronic signature module, which is essential in the pharmaceutical industry. The electronic signature is a key component of compliance for our ERP. This is crucial for periodic inspections we receive from authorities, including European authorities, Italian AIFA, USA FDA and other Pharma Agencies and Ministry world wide. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Infor LX a 9.
Euan Ellis - PeerSpot reviewer
Director of IT Applications at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has supported global operations through multi-currency and modular customization
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.

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our last maintenance fee was around $15,000 a year for 33 current users."
"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."
"There is an annual license for this solution."
"The solution is really expensive."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"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."
"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%."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
