A highly scalable and stable solution with ROI and a good technical support team
We are currently working on the new version of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as we are currently involved in four different industries. Our focus is on optimization, and with this new version, we hope that using the solution, we succeed at integrating AI to help with tracking and addressing. We are also working with a group of companies that we have invested in and have new deals with, and we want to be able to provide information through dashboards using AI and BI, using the solution. Additionally, we are exploring the use of blockchain technology to ensure that not only our investments but also our clients have access to market information and understand how everything is working.

We use the solution for our inventory management The solution has helped streamline our orders so we can receive the order, and track the delivery in one solution. The selling feature is the most valuable. The reporting tool has room for improvement. I would like to have automatic information…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The financials are great."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"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."
"Traceability is the most valuable feature of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne...The stability of the solution is excellent."
"I think it is strong in sales, inventory, and pricing."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are the flexibility of the configuration, it is highly configurable. It is not rigid as other solutions, such as SAP. They have recently added a custom workflow approach and approval workflows."
"The 1V reporting is straightforward and simple to use. Creating 1V reports does not require any technical knowledge."
"The solution’s Accounts Payable and Procurement modules are the most stable and quite useful compared to other finance modules."
"The security feature, particularly the encryption, which still builds sensitivity, is one of the most valuable features."
"Microsoft Dynamic 365 has everything we need, like Teams, Outlook, Excel, etc. I do a lot of data visualization, so I work a lot with Power BI. I bring in tables from Oracle and use Power Bi to manipulate and visualize the data. I handle all the stats and track everything that goes in and out of the company. We use all the modules, but I work primarily with Power BI, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams. They are all equally important and work together."
"The initial setup is easy."
"All of the features are valuable, depending on where you implement them. I've done implementations in 60 countries, across 86 different companies and groups, and each company has a different reason for why they want to use it. Every single feature that I've implemented has been successful, and for some companies, where they didn't use the functionality, they have moved to external products or they've integrated into other applications."
"The most important feature of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is that it lets us centralize all our information so that we don't need to rely on any other software outside of Microsoft."
"The solution's integrations and interface are very good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is cloud accessibility."
"Has good integration with Power BI."
 

Cons

"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier."
"Originally, there were some complications with implementation."
"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for."
"The implementation procedure could be simplified."
"The initial setup of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is straightforward. However, it could improve."
"From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs."
"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."
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has been buggy in my experience and they should improve in this area. Additionally, there are too many updates. The updates involve a whole bunch of applications as part of the package, such as the Edge browser. The updates are too broad across the whole package of applications."
"It would be nice, in Microsoft Teams, if we were able to type more information into the chat."
"The solution can improve by having better integration with Microsoft PowerBI and reporting."
"The initial setup of the solution was quite complex and the troubleshooting involved with that needs to be improved."
"For a big company like us with millions of transactions, the scalability isn't enough."
"I think Microsoft should improve on the process of how the user decides on a business workflow. For example, there may be some kind of drag-and-drop interface that lets us decide for ourselves how to develop the business workflows that fit our purpose."
"The UI is not particularly user-friendly and the CRM could do with some enhancements."
"There is some network issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is really expensive."
"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 price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"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 maintenance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is expensive and overall the solution is expensive. Most enterprise operation solution is expensive."
"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
"The deployment cost us $70,000 and we pay around $18,000 annually for support, which we find to be expensive."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV has a pay-as-you-use payment model."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central could improve. It is costly. We are paying for the solution on a monthly basis."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly. The solution is cheaper compared to other ERP products from Oracle or SAP."
"The solution is on the cloud and they provide 50 gigabytes of free space on their Microsoft Drive. The reason for this is that Microsoft is requiring you to upgrade all of your systems to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in order to effectively use the cloud. This means that if you are currently using a different version of Microsoft for a specific purpose that does not require this solution, it can be frustrating to have to spend money to upgrade to this solution just for the purpose of syncing with the cloud. Additionally, even if you do purchase Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, there can still be issues with syncing between the on-premise and cloud clients. This can be especially frustrating as the cloud storage is not free and can be difficult to access even after purchasing."
"In my opinion, the fees are reasonable."
"We have a perpetual license to use Microsoft Dynamics NAV."
"The cost is one of the benefits. If you don't want to go for the full-blown finance and operations, the pricing model is a lot cheaper and has now switched to being based on a per-user subscription. So, if it's on cloud, you now have an expense instead of a large CapEx. If it's on-prem, you obviously still have to continue with the licensing model that they have, but if you compare the features and functionality, in terms of the price that you pay, I find it's better than other products. My answer on the pricing would be slightly different, depending on the country you're in and the return on investment, based on the size of the company. It's well-priced internationally. I think the new model is priced even better because it's now subscription-based and, if you go for cloud, the return on investment is a lot quicker and if it's expense, you can cap it. If you do take the on-prem version, the licensing is still priced as what it used to be, so that would depend on what country you are in."
