Simplifies finance processes and is easy to use but requires a user-friendly interface
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple. It has a very straightforward interface, which allows end users, especially those with a finance background like me, to engage in finance areas such as vouchers, manual vouchers, email receipts, and GL analysis efficiently. This ERP system is easy to handle; anyone can learn it faster compared to other ERPs. For smaller companies or startups, I would recommend JD Edwards.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The solution is great for production planning because everything is out of the box. It smoothly handles the process from engineering to ERP, including version management and subcontracting. These features aren't in NetSuite."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"The most valuable features of Epicor ERP are ease of use, powerful API, and comprehensive integration. It is a one-vendor solution, where other vendors need other software systems from multiple vendors."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"It has simplified the process completely, and even though it has many features which are available in the market now, but it is on par with the other ERPs that are available in the market now."
"We find the ease of use, customization, and user interface valuable."
"Access and visibility of different business processes on a single UI."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The product has been stable so far."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has improved within all the solutions and there have been a lot of investments by Oracle in these solutions. Most of the functionalities, and business requirements, are available for the system in the solution and there have been enhancements to the processes, UI, and tools, which have been done on a regular basis."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are financial reporting, procurement, and project management."
"I think it is strong in sales, inventory, and pricing."
 

Cons

"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"What would make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne better is more straightforward project implementation, including reducing the costs associated with upgrading projects."
"The Fixed Asset module is not desirable because it is complicated."
"They have the interface with Hubble and other reporting, however, we just want that to be a part of JD Edwards."
"We found that the system was unable to address many of our concerns, especially when it comes to project management."
"We’d like to see technical support integrated within the application so that it is not required to raise additional incidents or do manual outreach to support."
"Treasury management is typically used in forex, loans, trade management and property management is not available. The solution could improve if they added them."
"The solution could be easier to implement. However, the complexity was in our internal processes meeting our country's requirements. Every country has a slightly different process, taxation, and rules. That was the difficult part, not the solution itself. I expect our experience would have been more or less the same with any ERP, such as SAP, Navision, or Dynamics."
"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"The maintenance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is expensive and overall the solution is expensive. Most enterprise operation solution is expensive."
