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.

"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."

"This is an all-in-one ERP solution for small businesses. Everything is linked. Once you have this, you have all the features available in SAP. You have PR, inventory items, journal entry, and project management features."
"SAP Business One has valuable and helpful features for standard utilities, such as sales, purchasing, inventory, and finance, including Indian localization. Additionally, it is strong in the area of production. It has enhanced capabilities in advanced production planning, maintenance, and other features as needed through the use of add-ons provided by partners.

Cons

"The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly."
"While it is easy to handle, there is room for improvement compared to more sophisticated ERP systems."
"The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."

"There are issues with inventory management and quality management."
"Lacks ability to integrate with other tools."

"The extension of dashboards into mobiles is something which SAP Business One has to improve on."

"Our customers often request concurrent licensing, which is not available with SAP Business One. Adding this option would be beneficial."

"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."

"The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."

"We pay annually. It is around 800 a month."

"I would rate Business One's pricing five out of five."

"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."
