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.
Mahmoud Paridehpour - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers extensive features for efficient operations in small to midsize businesses
The solution is very good. However, for very small companies, maybe a cloud service is better. Other software like QuickBooks may work well if you do not have many employees and require simple invoicing and inventory. This software, though, is a bit more advanced compared to QuickBooks, offering flexibility, multi-user capability, and options for application development. It connects directly to the database for reporting or external systems, which is beneficial for companies needing more advanced features. However, if I need a very complex system, Sage might not be suitable. Overall, I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"JD Edwards World is a good ERP with high security from the application design."
"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."
"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."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"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."
"Regarding the cost, it is cheap. I pay a one-time fee instead of a monthly license fee per user."
"The product provides consistent updates and upgrades."
"The technical support is very good."
"For me, it is a ten because I did not have any problems or issues."
 

Cons

"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"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."
"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."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"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."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"The vendor stopped supporting the solution on the Linux platform."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
"We're definitely looking at a new system because everything in this product needs improving."
"While the software may not be very expensive, it lacks many advanced features found in other software."
 

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."
