Sydney Chidambaram - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies processes, is easy to set up, and offers good integrations
They need to improve the planning section of Enterprise One. They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days. There need to be proper error codes. The red alerts need to be explained a bit better. Te yellow alerts are fine. The product planning feature need improvement. There needs to be more functional. The sales forecasting needs to be improved. It is expensive.
Benjamin Mpolokoso - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable product that offers excellent ROI and reliable technical support
It is a good solution but quite complex, especially when integrating with other systems. Some simpler products like Sage are much easier to integrate with. I think it is because of the product’s proprietary database, MSSQL. Other databases are more open source. They use MySQL in the background, so it is easier to integrate with other products. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

"I am impressed with the tool's vendor collaboration. It is also easy to connect with third-party applications."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the HR features enhanced with respect to localization for South Africa and other countries."

"I sometimes put in wrong data that needs correction, but I cannot change it or approve it without withdrawing it. It will then take time for me to go back in and edit it."

"The price of the solution could benefit from being less expensive."

"There is an annual licensing cost for Microsoft Dynamics AX."

"The solution is expensive."

Hard to help without knowing more about your specific environment, but I would concur with Kevin - if you and your users are a Microsoft shop then Dynamics will probably win out on user acceptance in this comparison. This is a recurring theme in multiple case studies we have written. You may wish to consult this white paper: http://istart.com.au/research-articles/an-expert-guide-to-selecting-an...

I can only really speak about Dynamics Ax as I have little knowledge of the Jd Edwards package. From a users point of review we have had good feedback about most of the functionality. A few issues with low resolution machines and windows sizing but anyone that uses ms office should be able to pick up Dynamics relatively easy. The most difficult part is the data setup for financial and items. I will not say Dynamics is perfect as it will require some development work in areas that should be out of the box. However, as long as you are careful with what is changed then the product should meet most requirements. Just try to look at Business process change before changing core functionality. I have seen disasters where businesses try to amend the system to fit practices that are not within the Dynamics processes. Hope this assists Kind regards Tony Bowyer
