Featured Reviews

Eugenio Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
Program adapts to our requirements and handles our operations effectively
The interface we use currently needs enhancement, as I am still using the outdated green screens. I would benefit for us to adpot the latest INFOR user interface, which is a more integrated interface. Additionally, improvements in warehouse handling with handheld terminal, quality management in warehouses, and managing a dual sourcing strategy would be beneficial. I have had to build my own applications for some features that are lacking, and aligning all components for uncertainty management in the market is necessary.
Suresh Wickramasinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Cons

"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens. I would benefit from a more integrated interface."
"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens."
"Infor needs more APIs, as in the current version, APIs are not fully developed."
"It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."
"Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."
"Infor needs more APIs, as in the current version, APIs are not fully developed. The development of APIs must be enhanced, especially for AS400."

"The Fixed Asset module is not desirable because it is complicated."

"Lacking in certain areas of support."
"What would make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne better is more straightforward project implementation, including reducing the costs associated with upgrading projects."
"The only issue I see is Oracle's lack of focus on the product. When the sales team calls us, they try to promote OCI more than JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. They don't even talk about it. I feel there's no focus from Oracle Corporation themselves. The salespeople either don't know about it or don't talk about it. When they have something new, they only talk about EBS or OCI. This gives a feeling that there's no interest from Oracle. We don't see much new functionality being released or announced in the roadmap."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."

"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"There is an annual license for this solution."
"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."
