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.
Srinivasan Kuppuswamy - PeerSpot reviewer
The amazing, robust framework with unlimited scalability earns its #1 status
The solution is not ready for the current e-commerce environment. Its was built for large enterprises who need to predictably optimize their human, material, and financial resources. ERP has evolved and businesses are changing. There are not many large corporations. Most are small enterprises with the capabilities of large enterprises through networking and platform integration. Some companies promote products but get things done with other enterprises as a network. Companies do not want to create new capacity but want to leverage existing capacity with innovative products. They do not want to spend resources on duplicating capacity or facilities. I do not think any ERP product is ready to support this environment so ERPs as a whole might end up being used for back-office functions only. It is not easy to evolve an ERP product because its intent is to integrate functions and processes within an organization. Whereas, in the new business model, processes are not limited to one's own enterprise but cut across different enterprises. There is no enterprise solution as this point in time for the current e-commerce environment so companies must integrate with many solutions.

"It is very straightforward to deploy and set up."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is perfect for our reporting for the management, workflow, and procurement workflow."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has improved within all the solutions and there have been a lot of investments by Oracle in these solutions. Most of the functionalities, and business requirements, are available for the system in the solution and there have been enhancements to the processes, UI, and tools, which have been done on a regular basis."
"The tool can be very much customized."
"It is a comprehensive and robust solution. It can provide lots of functional features."
"There are many interfaces, so you really can build satellites around it like with other SAP stuff or even third-party stuff."
"The stability and performance are good."
"The implementation is very straightforward."
"I have found all the modules related to finance valuable, such as account management and HR. The entire suite is very useful."
"Its customer support is highly rated, and the technical support provided by SAP is considered very good."

Cons

"For large or sophisticated organizations, I would not recommend JD Edwards."
"They have been improving it every day, but it could have more automation."
"We’d like to see technical support integrated within the application so that it is not required to raise additional incidents or do manual outreach to support."
"Forms customization should be easier. Currently, it has to go through the development life cycle."
"I would like to see the HR features enhanced with respect to localization for South Africa and other countries."
"Needs better integration with IoT solutions."
"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."
"We found that the system was unable to address many of our concerns, especially when it comes to project management."
"It is on the expensive side."
"There is room for improvement in the integration of the solution, especially in the payroll area."
"The solution is quite expensive. They need to work on the pricing to make it more reasonable."
"I think that implementation could be simplified."
"The user interface can be more intuitive and user-friendly by having it be more menu-driven, this would be a large benefit."
"Its user interface should be improved."
"The power of ABAP Development Tools is the main valuable feature in the SAP ECC system. Every couple of years SAP upgrades ABAP technology significantly, which facilitates developers' work."
"It is a little difficult to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"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 cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"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 solution is expensive and is best-suited for large enterprises."
"The on-premises licensing model comes with annual maintenance whereas the cloud-based licensing model is a yearly subscription. The tool’s pricing is normal and not expensive."
"It is less expensive than its competitors."
"I am not sure. However, extensions cost approximately $100,000 or$200,000."
"SAP ERP is expensive."
"Some components are available at an additional cost, depending on the type of contract that you have."
"The price of SAP ERP is high, but it is worth the money. The maintenance and support can be expensive. There should be a different price model for businesses that are not as large to be able to afford it."
"It could always be cheaper. They don't have a very easy model of licensing, but large entities would get the upper hand in negotiating the license."
