Suresh Wickramasinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Deepak Madhavan - PeerSpot reviewer
Implementation simplifies ERP management with comprehensive data integration and visibility
A lot of people would say the pricing. SAP is seen as quite expensive even now. It doesn't work for smaller or medium optimizations. The licensing and pricing could be looked at. In Brownfield migration, the trade-off between greenfield and brownfield means you either keep it clean or match the business requirements. Sometimes, it's not possible to do both. While ValixAPI provides significant support in making those decisions and the SAP consultant is very useful, we are still dependent on past history and how it was originally set up. I wouldn't call that a real disadvantage, yet more accessible consulting would be beneficial. Incorporating all other cloud products, like APO or IPP, into the S/4 house might also help.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The financial management features are convenient and helpful in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"It has simplified the process completely, and even though it has many features which are available in the market now, but it is on par with the other ERPs that are available in the market now."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne's most valuable feature is its one consolidated platform that runs all the different aspects of companies."
"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."
"There are numerous good features."
"It is highly configurable. You have a choice in terms of how you want to run it. You can run it in your own data center, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. The choice is really up to the customer."
"With the new versions, it has become very user-friendly. We have integration with mobiles, and we have cloud-based solutions. There are a lot of things that can be done by front-end users without technical knowledge. They can create reports without having to do any coding, and it's very good now."
"Flexibility is the most valuable aspect of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne because it allows customization."
"The use of a memory-based database makes it more efficient."
"The speed of executing reports has increased significantly. We no longer need day-minus-one business processing."
"SAP S4HANA is a robust solution."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, high availability, and connectivity."
"The in-memory processing capability is most valuable."
"I would rate the solution nine out of ten."
"One of the things I like about it is its well-integrated and secure nature."
"S/4HANA is so much faster today than it was before. High performance is one of the best features, but the backbone of S/4HANA is its integration capabilities. They've also shifted to a focus on user experience."
 

Cons

"The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier."
"I haven't come across any downsides just yet."
"Treasury management is typically used in forex, loans, trade management and property management is not available. The solution could improve if they added them."
"Localization features are critical for all regions. Improving these features in various countries and markets is essential to meet customer needs."
"Needs better integration with IoT solutions."
"While it is easy to handle, there is room for improvement compared to more sophisticated ERP systems."
"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."
"Forms customization should be easier. Currently, it has to go through the development life cycle."
"The cost is quite expensive, and some people notice this compared to other solutions."
"If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding."
"SAP S/4HANA could improve by making the interface easier to use."
"The Capex and Opex could be improved."
"SAP is good, however, SAP users should have the knowledge to tackle SAP effectively."
"I think anything related to manufacturing public clouds could be improved."
"SAP is seen as quite expensive even now. It doesn't work for smaller or medium optimizations."
"Maybe its user interface and reporting can be improved across the board, but it is manageable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 deal and the number of users."
"It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"In terms of price, it is not on the high end."
"The solution's license cost is on the higher side."
"The problem with SAP is that it offers two licenses, namely runtime license and enterprise license. If you have a runtime license, then you are doomed since you can't take any data out from the tool."
"It is an expensive solution."
"There is an annual license for SAP S4HANA."
"The price of this product is an issue for some customers."
"Licensing works on a subscription model for the cloud version and it's a one-time fee for the on-premises version."
"It is costly in computing because these VMs have a huge CPU and utilization."
"Though we are talking about a competitively priced model, the pricing could be more cost-effective."
