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

Pros

"Its user interface and ease of navigation are valuable."
"A stable and solid product."
"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."
"I like JD Edwards as I was in on the ground floor with it."
"JD Edwards is a configurable software solution; they provide you with the ability to be able to configure the software so that you can run your business in the manner that you choose."
"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."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are financial reporting, procurement, and project management."
"It’s a good and configurable product."
"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."
 

Cons

"Needs better integration with IoT solutions."
"I haven't come across any downsides just yet."
"We need improved dashboards."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"The initial setup of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is straightforward. However, it could improve."
"We actually found it to be quite hard to use and to lack user-friendliness, which is the reason we decided to move."
"When it comes to work scheduling in their maintenance module, it could be better."
"While it is easy to handle, there is room for improvement compared to more sophisticated ERP systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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%."
"There is an annual license for this solution."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of pricing, we have a lot of problems because companies here don't have enough resources to acquire the product. So we need to evaluate the price according to our demographic...The license cost is around 1,00,000 euros."
"The solution is really expensive."
