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.
Nicola Degliesposti - PeerSpot reviewer
The product lacks a lot of features and technology, though it is the most stable solution in the market
The product lacks a lot of features and technology. It is really limited. The tool must improve in almost all areas. There are a lot of things that should be improved in the manufacturing and shop floor, logistics and warehousing, and master data both from a functionality and technology standpoint. The solution must have a better WMS to improve the logistics and workflow and handle the processes within the system. The collaboration must be improved. The product must be more flexible and allow customization. It must allow the users to personalize the application in a better way. The tool lacks a lot in the purchasing area. The documents and process of purchasing are limited and simple. In the sales domain, there are no enhancements to calculate forecast and shipment programs. We cannot optimize transportation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"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."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
 

Cons

"I would like report creation to be easier."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"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."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"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 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."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
 

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."
