The product is flexible and easy to use, but the user interface must be improved
I have worked with SAP A1, some proprietary software, and some small ERP systems. SAP is a bit more complex. Compared to SAP, Epicor has an easy configuration. With SAP, we have to do a good number of setups before we can set the requirements. We need to get many people to update things before we can get it to work properly. For Epicor, we can do the bare minimum. It still works. If we need more results, we need to input more parameters. It’s not complex. The operations and the logic are fundamentally different. SAP has a better user interface. It provides its own Workbench. Epicor is not as advanced as S/4HANA. Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides good presentations.

Provides tools for human resources and the financial management features are convenient and helpful
Implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can have its challenges. For example, we faced issues like timeout exceptions in a recent integration project while pulling data from third-party systems. It required careful consideration of interface options for integration with external systems. We decided to use Orchestration, an advanced tool in JD Edwards, to overcome these challenges and ensure smooth connectivity with external systems. Challenges like these are part of the implementation process but can be effectively managed with the right tools and approach. Another area that needs enhancement is the pricing structure, making it more competitive. Additionally, focusing on more automation features would be beneficial. JD Edwards is already great for integration projects, but further improvements in these areas would make it even more appealing to clients starting ERP projects from scratch.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 an easy-to-use solution."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"It is highly configurable. You have a choice in terms of how you want to run it. You can run it in your own data center, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. The choice is really up to the customer."
"The solution is stable."
"EnterpriseOne is stable and can be customized according to customer requirements."
"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"It is easy to inquire about any account in our company."
"The solution is very customizable according to business needs."
"I think it is strong in sales, inventory, and pricing."
"Its user interface and ease of navigation are valuable."
 

Cons

"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"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."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"I haven't come across any downsides just yet."
"The Fixed Asset module is not desirable because it is complicated."
"I would like to see the HR features enhanced with respect to localization for South Africa and other countries."
"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."
"Needs better integration with IoT solutions."
"They have been improving it every day, but it could have more automation."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."

"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."
"The pricing is very high. Even though the license is perpetual yet you have to get the maintenance. Since we pay using Pesos, it's very expensive."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has a lot of value for the money. The implementation cost and license cost are quite reasonable compared to other solutions, such as Oracle EBS or SAP."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"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."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
