Featured Reviews

Tapas Karmakar - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration capabilities and reporting functions enhance workflow efficiency
The primary issue I have observed is that when JD Edwards World is installed, it involves a shared architecture between the development, test, and production environments. This setup should be avoided. Additionally, Oracle should integrate some AI features into JD Edwards World but not rely entirely on AI due to potential disadvantages, such as increased electricity consumption impacting global warming. Improvements are also needed in tech support, specifically in response time and quality.
Firaz Mohammed - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers great integration capabilities and allows just the real-time inventory
Dynamics GP improves inventory management by offering real-time inventory tracking, and automated purchase order creation, receiving, and updating inventory levels. It facilitates site-to-site transfers and allocation tracking, enabling efficient stock management across locations. The integration capability of Dynamics GP, combined with Power Platform, has transformed our business processes. We now use PowerApps to enable salesmen to send orders electronically, eliminating the need for order books. Additionally, we developed HR apps to streamline tasks for our staff, leading to automated processes and improved efficiency. Our experience with Dynamics GP reporting and analytics features, particularly Advanced Analysis, has been great. We utilize customized smart lists for purchasing and other functions, allowing for tailored insights over specific periods. Additionally, we have developed custom dashboards for enhanced visibility and support portal integration. I wouldn't recommend Dynamics GP due to its legacy status and impending end of support. However, if integration with the Power Platform is crucial and the company prioritizes modernization, it could still be a viable option. For new companies, I would suggest considering Dynamics 365 Business Central for a more modern solution. Overall, I would rate Dynamics GP as a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"JD Edwards World is a good ERP with high security from the application design."
"JD Edwards World supports operations in manufacturing and distribution, which are crucial for our organization."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."
"The system is easy to customize and has user-friendly access. ​"
"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."
"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."
"The solution offers integrations with other software as well. We have integration with Microsoft Office where we can do Word and Excel, etc."
"Snowflake's ability to handle large queries efficiently is very beneficial, unlike other databases which can take a significant amount of time for similar tasks."
 

Cons

"The user interface in JD Edwards World is very crude; I press a button to get to the application, unlike EnterpriseOne, which offers a more finished experience with dashboards."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"It still can be improved in web-based and build reporting. ​"
"The issue we're encountering is that it's primarily designed for independent installations and not initially structured as a cloud-based solution, which has led to challenges with connectivity."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."
"It requires a lot of expertise to implement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"For us, in our local currency, it costs us around 5 million Botswanan Pulas a year. It's quite a lot of money."
"The solution's price is steep."
"It is an affordable solution."
"I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."
"​We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."
"In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."
"I would say that the pricing is moderate, not cheap, and not expensive. There are many more expensive ERPs than GP, and there are less expensive as well, so it is moderately priced."
"Its pricing and licensing are high. Of course, we all know that it is Microsoft."
