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.
ThomasPetrou - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency
Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 18, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users. I think EnterpriseOne is more convenient for users to do the inquiry and do the data entry. The UI is better than JDE World. For JDE products, including the World version, is very flexible. It's a good product for clients."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The scalability is very good. There are over 100+ end users in our company."
"It is a comprehensive tool containing a lot of applications integrated together by nature. It is easy to use and has a nice interface that is easy to learn and teach your employees."
"All modules in Odoo are integrated together, providing seamless transitions across various functionalities."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization."
"It is a scalable solution...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable features of Odoo are its customization and the fact that I can add modules whenever I want to the solution and the customization."
"It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution."
"Odoo is open source, so we can develop it and adjust it to our requirements. It's easy to work with."
 

Cons

"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"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."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"Odoo could be better integrated with our warehouse management system."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."
"The solution's reporting could be improved."
"The customization and technical support are not great."
"Currently, the regional office is in Dubai, and I believe it would be beneficial to establish a regional office in Pakistan to enhance support and accessibility for users in our country."
"Odoo's automation and workflow design tools could be better. It has some limitations compared to other ERP solutions like SAP. You should have the option to design workflows in order using BPM diagrams and tools that make it more versatile in terms of adapting to any workflow through low code."
"The tool needs to improve its scalability."
"The solution lacks local API support. Also, it lacks some database integration platforms. In short, it lacks an API integration platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"Its pricing is well-received in Latin America. They sell by the user. In October 2022, they changed the way they sell Odoo. They commercialized Odoo. They now sell by the user. The cost of a user is $13.5 five per month for Latin America, which is lower than other ERPs."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"Odoo is an open-source tool. I don't have to pay for it."
"The solution's licensing costs are low compared to its competitors."
"They offer three packages – free, standard, and custom."
"There is a need to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. It is not an expensive solution, especially in my country."
