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.

Senior Advisor Electric & Electronics at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
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

"I like JD Edwards as I was in on the ground floor with it."
"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 perfect for our reporting for the management, workflow, and procurement workflow."
"It brings operational efficiency by integrating different processes within the organization into one system."
"From an organizational perspective, it obvious that the ease-of-use and ease-of-maintenance aspects of JD Edwards provides us with greater efficiency and, ultimately, cost savings."
"Today there are few ERP systems that can actually compete with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"We find the ease of use, customization, and user interface valuable."
"I have found the solutions best features to be financial procurement, inventory, and manufacturing."
"Penta offers a single way to solve our problems rather than building a new ERP system in the company."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
 

Cons

"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system."
"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for."
"When it comes to work scheduling in their maintenance module, it could be better."
"The initial setup of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is straightforward. However, it could improve."
"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 implementation procedure could be simplified."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"We actually found it to be quite hard to use and to lack user-friendliness, which is the reason we decided to move."
"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

"The pricing is very high. Even though the license is perpetual yet you have to get the maintenance. Since we pay using Pesos, it's very expensive."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"There is an annual license for this solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
