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.
Abbas Hirkani - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick implementation brings comprehensive workflow management and efficient regulation handling
One of the major advantages of QAD Cloud ERP is related to the easy and quick implementation that I have found the most valuable. The entire application of QAD Cloud ERP itself is very valuable for my customers. My impression of the advanced supply chain management feature in QAD Cloud ERP is that it's a very comfortable tool and, if rightly configured, it really helps the business to have clear visibility of the entire supply chain. My impression of the compliance management in QAD Cloud ERP is that it has reduced many overheads of doing manual compliance, and it is quite easily manageable; it is connected with the regulatory authorities, making it a fantastic tool. The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
 

Cons

"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"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."
"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."
"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 interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"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."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"They could improve by moving away from the architecture of Progress 4GL as currently they are undergoing a very drastic change by redoing the entire application with Java and web-based technologies, projected to be released by 2026 with the incorporation of analytics, process intelligence, and AI to help business users."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
 

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."
