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

"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"JD Edwards World is a good ERP with high security from the application design."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"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."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"Odoo operates on a subscription-based model, ensuring access to the most up-to-date version at all times."
"What I find the most valuable about Odoo is its simplicity."
"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."
"Odoo is flexible and serves us quite well. Its interface has improved."
"I find the financial module, along with the integrations of projects and the HR human resource module, to be the most valuable aspects of Odoo."
"The most beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
"Odoo is open source, so we can develop it and adjust it to our requirements. It's easy to work with."
"All modules in Odoo are integrated together, providing seamless transitions across various functionalities."
 

Cons

"Having tools that allow for small but fast adaptations of packages is crucial, as needing skilled programmers for every minor report or mask adaptation is a constraint my customers no longer favor."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"The tool needs to improve its scalability."
"The customization and technical support are not great."
"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."
"Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented."
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features."
"I'm uncertain because each year they release a new version with improvements. However, one area that needs significant enhancement is the website, particularly the modern core website. While there's an approach similar to WordPress, it is quite basic at the moment. Besides that, particularly with the POS solutions, we identified potential security issues. This is due to the storage of information on cookies or similar sessions. In cases of Internet-related issues, there's a vulnerability where data might be compromised. The system uses temporary storage until the internet connection is restored, and then it pushes the data to the server or database. This poses a risk, especially in point-of-sale systems, where there could be vulnerabilities for data modification or alteration by unauthorized individuals."
"The solution's reporting could be improved."
"Odoo could be better integrated with our warehouse management system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one means high price, and ten means low price, I rate Odoo's pricing a five or six out of ten."
"The price of the solution depends on the use case. However, it can be expensive and we are paying annually."
"The cost is expensive but cheaper than some other competitors."
"It is very affordable for any type of business. And this is one of the main advantages of Odoo. Small businesses can subscribe and this is a very good feature."
"I would rate this product on pricing as a six. If it is a SaaS solution, it is fixed. It is reasonably expensive."
"The solution's licensing costs are low compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."
