Integration and customization streamline complex processes for improved efficiency
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. Other software like Salesforce or Cognos offers a good user interface where users find it intuitive to navigate. It should be more accessible, even for those who have never interacted with JD Edwards World before.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The most valuable feature in JD Edwards World is World Writer, the reporting functionality; inventory management in JD Edwards World is useful and it helps with supply chain as long as the setup is done correctly."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"JD Edwards World is a good ERP with high security from the application design."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management has helped by making processes such as calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
 

Cons

"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."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"JD Edwards World is very outdated and not really supported anymore."
"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."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"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."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."
 

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."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it depends on the number of branches used. The price can be upwards of $40,000 annually."
"It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
"The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
"The cost is not expensive."
