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.
Madhava Pemmaraju - PeerSpot reviewer
Many features are standardized, which reduces the need for customization but lacks solutions for some use cases
SAP Business One is primarily used for small to medium businesses in the MSMB market. It helps run the packaged enterprise solution for customers who cannot afford a full-fledged SAP S4HANA solution. It is used for standard finance, warehouse, and supply chain processes One of the biggest…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It’s a stable product."
"A stable and solid product."
"EnterpriseOne is stable and can be customized according to customer requirements."

"We find the ease of use, customization, and user interface valuable."
"Business One's best feature is that all the modules are integrated."
"It offers users a rather simple interface."
"So there are a lot of features included with the ERP system."
"The sales and wholesale distribution are great."
"This is the most efficient ERP that is in the market right now."

"The solution is scalable."
"The solution offers a structured view and is useful for the top management. The top management finds it organized and structured. It is stable and gives you fewer headaches as an IT manager."
 

Cons

"Financial side could be expanded by bringing in things like the IMS."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier."
"They have been improving it every day, but it could have more automation."
"We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task."
"While it is easy to handle, there is room for improvement compared to more sophisticated ERP systems."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is more of a legacy solution because most of the competitors are or have moved to the cloud. It would be beneficial if there was a cloud version available. Additionally, the interface could improve."
"Originally, there were some complications with implementation."
"Business One would be improved with a customization option."
"I would love to have more reporting capabilities. It should have an embedded BI engine. Currently, I have to maintain an additional system for BI."
"There are limitations around integrations."
"The solution could improve by adding HR and payroll, and consolidation should be included by default."
"Lacks an advanced HR model with payroll."
"There are a lot of good improvements coming out in every version. They release a new version every quarter, with all new up-and-coming things on each one. However, it might be lacking specifications for the specific verticals. However, SAP Business One is a generic tool. It's very widely used, and I understand why it's not into each vertical. There are solution partners available out there to give it those extra areas of what it needs, but this is depending on what kind of business you run."
"Business One's production module has room for improvement."
"It would be ideal if the reporting and dashboards were improved upon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"It's very competitively priced. The only problem now is that most of the industry is moving towards software as a service or a subscription model, whereas JD Edwards has a capital expenditure. You would spend on the licenses once off. You can either host it on-premise or in the cloud, but there is a licensing fee once a year."
"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 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."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"We compared the Microsoft solution with Oracle NetSuite, as they have a price decrease. It is, however, not that much cheaper, and the price is comparable to SAP."
"We pay annually. It is around 800 a month."
"If you are in the US or Canadian the costs of SAP Business One could vary per license, it can be anywhere between $2,000 tor $5,000."
"I rate the product pricing structure at around six out of ten due to currency fluctuations posing challenges."
"The price of SAP Business One is high for smaller businesses to afford. The currency plays a large part in the fluctuation of the solution's price when we convert the USD to our local currency. $1,400 is for a limited license and $3,700 is for a professional license."
"If the client's budget is low, they go for SAP Business One."
"Its price is reasonable. People are able to spend that much."
"Business One's prices are really high."
