Suresh Wickramasinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies finance processes and is easy to use but requires a user-friendly interface
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple. It has a very straightforward interface, which allows end users, especially those with a finance background like me, to engage in finance areas such as vouchers, manual vouchers, email receipts, and GL analysis efficiently. This ERP system is easy to handle; anyone can learn it faster compared to other ERPs. For smaller companies or startups, I would recommend JD Edwards.
StefaanVandesompele - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides end-to-end accounting and finance module at reasonable pricing
365 Business Central integrates with Office 365 to streamline the invoice approval process. This allows businesses to manage and approve invoices efficiently within a unified system. Our organization plans to transition to the Dynamics 365 environment, where various functions will be centralized. We will consolidate everything into one system instead of maintaining multiple databases for each country with local data. Dynamics 365 is fully integrated, which should address many of our challenges when we migrate to this new environment. We look forward to seeing how it performs in practice. The project is progressing well overall, though integrating it with other tools and ensuring Dynamics 365 operates smoothly can be challenging. Dynamics 365 is user-friendly and effective. However, a deeper understanding of its technical capabilities and architecture might be necessary to optimize its use fully. The software landscape is evolving, and achieving the best reporting and functionality with just a click can be complex. A clear vision of what you want to achieve with Dynamics 365 is essential. Proper preparation and configuration are crucial to achieving the desired outcomes. This principle applies not only to Dynamics 365 but to all software packages. Understanding the system's flexibility and adaptability based on your specific business needs is key to its successful implementation. Overall, I rate the solution an eight 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 most valuable feature is the user experience, where you can create your own queries, it sends you alerts, and it's very flexible."
"There are numerous good features."
"The product has been stable so far."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has improved within all the solutions and there have been a lot of investments by Oracle in these solutions. Most of the functionalities, and business requirements, are available for the system in the solution and there have been enhancements to the processes, UI, and tools, which have been done on a regular basis."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."
"We find the ease of use, customization, and user interface valuable."
"A stable and solid product."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is very scalable. It is suitable for any business size, from retail to manufacturing, and can grow with any business."
"The solution makes everything organized for my organization or enterprise. It makes workflows more than clear."
"The security feature, particularly the encryption, which still builds sensitivity, is one of the most valuable features."
"The vertical covers all aspects of functionality and integrates easily with the existing Office products."
"It is easy to use, and it works very well for small-scale companies."
"The solution has good dashboard functionalities and export functionalities."
"This is readily available and affordable, as well as user-friendly and simple to use in my opinion."

Cons

"I haven't come across any downsides just yet."
"I would like to see improvements in the analytical part of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, specifically in the business intelligence aspect, to enhance its capabilities compared to bespoke solutions."
"The initial setup of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is straightforward. However, it could improve."
"From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs."
"For large or sophisticated organizations, I would not recommend JD Edwards."
"Originally, there were some complications with implementation."
"They have the interface with Hubble and other reporting, however, we just want that to be a part of JD Edwards."
"The solution could be easier to implement. However, the complexity was in our internal processes meeting our country's requirements. Every country has a slightly different process, taxation, and rules. That was the difficult part, not the solution itself. I expect our experience would have been more or less the same with any ERP, such as SAP, Navision, or Dynamics."
"The Power BI integration could be more seamless."
"I am hoping there is more integration with other platforms, more features, and customization in the next release."
"The product should improve work optimization."
"It would be nice, in Microsoft Teams, if we were able to type more information into the chat."
"It would be nice if the integration process was easier."
"I would like to improve the tool’s reporting and coding part."
"The UI is not particularly user-friendly and the CRM could do with some enhancements."
"As our company grew we had to switch from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to a solution that was suited for larger-sized companies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
"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%."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"The solution is really expensive."
"We have an agreement with Microsoft and pricing is okay for us."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly. The solution is cheaper compared to other ERP products from Oracle or SAP."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I would rate the pricing of this solution at three out of five."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central could improve. It is costly. We are paying for the solution on a monthly basis."
"I give the solution a seven out of ten for pricing."
"NAV might be a little pricey for a small or medium-sized company, but all the solutions out there are."
