Familiar, easy to use, and offers good functionality
The training initially was lacking, and the people who implemented the code are gone. The decisions were not well documented. There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support. Trying to find a solution by yourself or on Oracle's website is too hard. It needs to be supported better. We don't need a new release, we ust need help dealing with what's there. The GUI version needs to be better than it is. The perception is that it is not modern, but the code base is only ten years old. People need to understand that even if you migrate to a new package, ROI is not immediate. It is more than five to ten years away.

Less expensive than some competing solutions, but it's hard to handle logistics management at scale
We're having problems with logistics and warehouse management, and we don't know if we have the right module from Penta. When shipments come into our warehouse, they have to plug it into the Penta system and find the right place to store them. They have to go through the same process on the way out. Our production department has to do the same thing each time to prepare the material for production and get the goods out of the store. It takes a lot of time. I don't know if there are any automated solutions for it. We also do internal manufacturing orders from the German branch of our company. We send an order to the manufacturing department for every car and they have to enter each individual order into the system. The production manager spends so much time organizing this task.

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."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"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 solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"
 

Cons

"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 integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"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."
"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."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"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 is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"However, the production guys tell me that Penta is not suitable for mass production. If we build a hundred cars per day or more, then we'll have problems. At the same time, I can't say whether the issue is Penta or our process. In other words, maybe we have too many manual projects in it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"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."
