Has supported global operations through multi-currency and modular customization
Oracle's support is not that good for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Their support is expensive, and I don't think you're getting your bang for your buck. For the cloud product, they do give you support, but everything is online and you might not get somebody. I would give Oracle's support for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne about a 6.5 on a scale of one to 10.

Quick implementation brings comprehensive workflow management and efficient regulation handling
One of the major advantages of QAD Cloud ERP is related to the easy and quick implementation that I have found the most valuable. The entire application of QAD Cloud ERP itself is very valuable for my customers. My impression of the advanced supply chain management feature in QAD Cloud ERP is that it's a very comfortable tool and, if rightly configured, it really helps the business to have clear visibility of the entire supply chain. My impression of the compliance management in QAD Cloud ERP is that it has reduced many overheads of doing manual compliance, and it is quite easily manageable; it is connected with the regulatory authorities, making it a fantastic tool. The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide.

Pros

"The most valuable feature for us is its robustness, especially coming from the system we had before because it can do so many more things."
"Access and visibility of different business processes on a single UI."
"The solution has provided our company with very strong procurement and supply chain abilities, and our clients are very happy."
"We did not have any problems with the scalability of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"The good thing about it is that it is very customizable; we can modify it the way we want, and with the new versions it has become very user-friendly with mobile integration, cloud-based solutions, and many things that can be done by front-end users without technical knowledge, including creating reports without any coding."
"Customer service is very friendly and helpful, and as soon as we raise a ticket for any issue, they basically take care of it irrespective of geographic boundaries."
"The positive impact my customers have experienced from using QAD Cloud ERP includes easy integration with multiple different applications, connectivity with regulatory authorities and banks, having bank drivers for easy payments and receiving money, and it has fantastic web UI reporting, which satisfies many different stakeholders within the entire organization worldwide."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
 

Cons

"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."
"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."
"The only issue with the solution that it yet to consider improvements in its price."
"The implementation procedure could be simplified."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne could improve the speed because sometimes it takes time to load into the environment."
"We did have some stability issues. We currently use IBM WebSphere 7.1 and it sometimes does not look like it is 100% compatible."
"For large or sophisticated organizations, I would not recommend JD Edwards."
"They have been improving it every day, but it could have more automation."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
"They could improve by moving away from the architecture of Progress 4GL as currently they are undergoing a very drastic change by redoing the entire application with Java and web-based technologies, projected to be released by 2026 with the incorporation of analytics, process intelligence, and AI to help business users."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The maintenance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is expensive and overall the solution is expensive. Most enterprise operation solution is expensive."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"The solution is really expensive."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
"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."
"In terms of pricing, we have a lot of problems because companies here don't have enough resources to acquire the product. So we need to evaluate the price according to our demographic...The license cost is around 1,00,000 euros."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
