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.

Senior Advisor Electric & Electronics at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees

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

"We've found the initial setup to be easy."

"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."

"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."

"Menu creation is easier now."

"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."

"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."

"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."

"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."

More JD Edwards World pros

"I believe Penta costs less than SAP"

Cons

"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."

"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."

"I would like report creation to be easier."

"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."

"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 integration technology could be stronger at this point."

"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."

More JD Edwards World cons

"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."
