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.
Ikbel Zammit - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes processes including calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier
I use Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management to digitize our processes. I put our work and the opportunities on the platform, validate financial offers, and manage fees from transport and financial management.  I also use the system for record-keeping of client information and work…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The financials are great."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is the flashback it quickly takes you to the data browser. Additionally, one of the newer tools is the orchestrator which is very good."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are the flexibility of the configuration, it is highly configurable. It is not rigid as other solutions, such as SAP. They have recently added a custom workflow approach and approval workflows."
"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"There are numerous good features."
"With the new versions, it has become very user-friendly. We have integration with mobiles, and we have cloud-based solutions. There are a lot of things that can be done by front-end users without technical knowledge. They can create reports without having to do any coding, and it's very good now."
"Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten, as it can be customized to the company's needs while maintaining best practices."
"Access and visibility of different business processes on a single UI."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management has helped by making processes such as calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the HR features enhanced with respect to localization for South Africa and other countries."
"The initial setup of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is straightforward. However, it could improve."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"I haven't come across any downsides just yet."
"We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task."
"The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly."
"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 implementation procedure could be simplified."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
"Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"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."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"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%."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
"It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it depends on the number of branches used. The price can be upwards of $40,000 annually."
"The cost is not expensive."
