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.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The modular design of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne helps my organization customize its ERP functionalities because that's one of the key features of the software."
"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"But for large enterprises, it's a very good and cost-effective solution that's competitive with other products like SAP."
"It’s a good ERP system that gives users ease-of-use, the flexibility to integrate with other systems, and the ability to meet most of the KPIs."
"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 is very customizable according to business needs."
"It has simplified the process completely, and even though it has many features which are available in the market now, but it is on par with the other ERPs that are available in the market now."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne's most valuable feature is its one consolidated platform that runs all the different aspects of companies."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good. It is quite simple but powerful. Similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good; it is quite simple but powerful, and similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."

"We had stability issues, but Oracle support resolved them."
"The pricing of this solution costs an arm and a leg."
"The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly."
"It's got a steep learning curve."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is more of a legacy solution because most of the competitors are or have moved to the cloud."
"I think they could maybe expand the financial side."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The maintenance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is expensive and overall the solution is expensive. Most enterprise operation solution is expensive."
"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 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 licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"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."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
