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

"JD Edwards World supports operations in manufacturing and distribution, which are crucial for our organization."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is the fingerprint feature."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
"The most advantageous aspect is that with minimal customization, a company can be automated within a span of two to three months."
"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."
"It's convenient that we have an all-in-one holistic solution."
"Odoo's setup phase is easy."

Cons

"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"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."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"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 flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"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."
"The user interface is not the best."
"There is a lack of resources for specialized Odoo professionals."
"The reporting and the interface could definitely be better."
"The solution should improve its performance."
"There are features that cannot be opened in the community edition and from a user perspective."
"They could add more features and details regarding the business details and some extra modules for business features."
"Odoo could be better integrated with our warehouse management system."
"Odoo does not provide integration with other third-party apps like Shopify."

"The pricing is quite affordable, especially when compared to other products, making it a cost-effective choice."

"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."
