Featured Reviews

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 ( /products/jd-edwards-enterpriseone-reviews ) 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.
Cirvesh-Daga - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplify and streamline complex business processes, and good integration capabilities but lacks predictive capabilities
An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability. However, I'm sure Microsoft is already thinking about incorporating AI co-pilot features, which should be coming soon. The end person who will be looking at the report is the CFO, and CFO isn't just interested in static reports but in predictive information. Ideally, SL could use data from ERP, and CRM to provide some level of prediction. CoPilot is plugged into Dynamics, it'll be a plus and even a huge selling point over other solutions that are there in the market because now we have a component of AI. We can also give you some level of prediction. Even if it starts with a 15% confidence level, a CFO will take that because it still allows them to increase their bets to a certain extent. So, that's something that I I will look forward to whenever Microsoft introduces it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"I have found the solutions best features to be financial procurement, inventory, and manufacturing."
"The solution is stable."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."
"The financials are great."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are financial reporting, procurement, and project management."
"The solution excels in costing and work order processing. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne manages multiple manufacturing modes in the same process effectively."
"JD Edwards is highly scalable and suitable for both small teams and large enterprises with hundreds of users."
"If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature."
"It's pretty easy to set up."
"The solution has provided a good return on investment by ensuring our financial and operational information is accurate and timely."
 

Cons

"While it is easy to handle, there is room for improvement compared to more sophisticated ERP systems."
"They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days."
"If they can research and make the installation part easier or more user-friendly, it would be nice."
"We found that the system was unable to address many of our concerns, especially when it comes to project management."
"Needs better integration with IoT solutions."
"For large or sophisticated organizations, I would not recommend JD Edwards."
"Lacking in certain areas of support."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"The product's primary improvement area would be its batch processing system."
"The licensing of the solution should be adjusted. The policies aren't ideal. They should make it easier to understand. Right now, it's too confusing."
"An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"If the value proposition is clear for the customer, they won't see it as an expensive solution. A solution becomes expensive when it doesn't do what it promises."
"The licensing costs were reasonable."
