Has shown limitations in digital capabilities but has supported key processes over time
JD Edwards World's real-time data analytics is very limited, and while it can be helpful, it is not the same as EnterpriseOne. I am currently using inventory management in JD Edwards World. I am satisfied with the security architecture in JD Edwards World; it is very easy and user-friendly. Even in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is very adaptable and you have role-based security without needing additional software. I am totally satisfied with the security part of JD Edwards World, but you must just know what you are doing. I am currently using on-premises JD Edwards World. My final mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now. Therefore, the way to go is EnterpriseOne or cloud. For current usage, I would rate JD Edwards World maybe a five. My overall review rating for JD Edwards World is five out of ten.

Areas of SAP S_4HANA that could be improved or enhanced include the evolving aspects of the application over time. There are other SAP applications such as SuccessFactors and Ariba that integrate with SAP S_4HANA. In recent years, SAP introduced an addition called RISE with SAP, which allows companies to use cloud solutions instead of requiring their own premises hardware. SAP partners with cloud providers such as Azure, Amazon, and Google, assisting companies in migrating from hardware to cloud solutions. A challenge that arises is the lack of immediate expertise when raising tickets for problem resolution with SAP, leading to delays. We have asked SAP to improve this area to provide users with better benefits from the cloud solution, as we encounter this issue frequently.

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."
"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users."
"JD Edwards World supports operations in manufacturing and distribution, which are crucial for our organization."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"JD Edwards World is a good ERP with high security from the application design."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"The solution has very good stability; there aren't any bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is an enterprise solution, which is adopted by many organizations, and it's robust."
"I would recommend SAP S4HANA because it is a known solution that is stable and widely used by customers, thus making it reliable."
"Provides SAP Fiori apps with numerous dashboards and KPIs"
"A robust product with integration between all modules."
"The user interface of SAP S/4HANA is user-friendly."
"People are generally wary of SAP products but you can do everything in SAP in a very trouble-free manner."
"I highly recommend this solution. It is very easy to scale within businesses, especially when a new business falls within the range."
 

Cons

"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"JDE World is more stable than JDE EnterpriseOne. For JDE EnterpriseOne, the Integrity part will generate some errors; since they have low Integrity, we get some duplicate records in the accumulator table."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"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."
"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."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"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."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
"During parallel preparation of go-live processes, SAP B1 and S4H transactional data alignment can be difficult to track."
"The product should improve its cost."
"The initial setup was kind of complicated."
"The infrastructure management from SAP rates as a six. I rate infrastructure support this way because it takes too long, and it's hard to reach the right people."
"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
"The tool's high cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution can be a bit expensive."
 

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 the solution is on the higher side compared to others."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution often does not survive our shortlist round because it is very expensive when compared to other products."
"Though we are talking about a competitively priced model, the pricing could be more cost-effective."
"Depending on the solution there can be a different way of doing the license. Most of the licenses are annual, but there are some models where it is that offer pay-as-you-go. Additionally, there are some solutions that offer monthly per user."
"There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on a monthly subscription. The cost of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."
"I rate the pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. It is an expensive tool."
"The solution might be expensive."
