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.

Less expensive than some competing solutions, but it's hard to handle logistics management at scale
We're having problems with logistics and warehouse management, and we don't know if we have the right module from Penta. When shipments come into our warehouse, they have to plug it into the Penta system and find the right place to store them. They have to go through the same process on the way out. Our production department has to do the same thing each time to prepare the material for production and get the goods out of the store. It takes a lot of time. I don't know if there are any automated solutions for it. We also do internal manufacturing orders from the German branch of our company. We send an order to the manufacturing department for every car and they have to enter each individual order into the system. The production manager spends so much time organizing this task.

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."
"The accounting portion is very good for one, the financials are great, the integrations are good, and right now the orchestration is very good."
"Accounting and manufacturing controls, with a low cost of management, within a very small IT team (less than six people)."
"But for large enterprises, it's a very good and cost-effective solution that's competitive with other products like SAP."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is perfect for our reporting for the management, workflow, and procurement workflow."
"It’s a stable product."
"I like JD Edwards as I was in on the ground floor with it."
"We did not have any problems with the scalability of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
"Penta offers a single way to solve our problems rather than building a new ERP system in the company."
 

Cons

"Customer / Supplier Relationship."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task."
"My concern is that it's not keeping pace with what's happening in the real world."
"Treasury management is typically used in forex, loans, trade management and property management is not available."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne could improve the speed because sometimes it takes time to load into the environment. This is typical when the ESU patch packages are used."
"The licensing is expensive compared to other solutions on the market."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 deal and the number of users."
"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."
"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."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
