Featured Reviews

Sydney Chidambaram - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies processes, is easy to set up, and offers good integrations
They need to improve the planning section of Enterprise One. They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days. There need to be proper error codes. The red alerts need to be explained a bit better. Te yellow alerts are fine. The product planning feature need improvement. There needs to be more functional. The sales forecasting needs to be improved. It is expensive.
VARUN-JAIN - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is highly scalable, with solid performance and integration
S/4HANA implementation is always complex because you need to configure it to work with your infrastructure. SAP only provides the license, not hardware, but they will connect you with a partner like HPE or IBM. It's extremely costly if you ask for SAP to implement it, but you can deploy through some vendor like HCL, TC, Infosys, or Capgemini, and then you need to enlist a hardware partner. The complexity also varies by industry. If it's a small industry with $40 million of revenue annually, the business processes will be simple. However, deployment is tricky for heavy manufacturing, energy, etc.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."
"I have found the solutions best features to be financial procurement, inventory, and manufacturing."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are the flexibility of the configuration, it is highly configurable. It is not rigid as other solutions, such as SAP. They have recently added a custom workflow approach and approval workflows."
"The solution can scale."
"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."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne's most valuable feature is its one consolidated platform that runs all the different aspects of companies."
"It’s a stable product."
"The solution is stable."
"I can verify and provide the overall financial aid report and also the management report."
"From a technological point of view, the in-memory database is one of the key highlights."
"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."
"The solution's new UI called Fiori is user friendly."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"S4HANA is relatively stable."
"The solution is flexible, has a lot of functionality, and has the ability to deliver more security than other comparable solutions."
"SAP S/4HANA is an integrated application, which is its greatest strength."
 

Cons

"The solution could be easier to implement. However, the complexity was in our internal processes meeting our country's requirements. Every country has a slightly different process, taxation, and rules. That was the difficult part, not the solution itself. I expect our experience would have been more or less the same with any ERP, such as SAP, Navision, or Dynamics."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."
"They have been improving it every day, but it could have more automation."
"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."
"I haven't come across any downsides just yet."
"While it is easy to handle, there is room for improvement compared to more sophisticated ERP systems."
"In future releases, I would like to see more availability zones and VPCs so customers have more freedom to choose"
"Starting out on the solution can be a bit complex and difficult."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"MRP repost area should be improved. The production information report also needs to be improved."
"There should be a place where I can get the best available applications in one place. Currently, Fiori applications are available in different tiles on the dashboards. If anyone wants to check the financial, sales, and inventory reporting in one place, it is not possible in Fiori. We would have to develop a custom Fiori application. If that feature can be incorporated into the standard Fiori, it will be helpful for us."
"SAP S/4HANA needs to bring a feature that allows a great quantity of data compression"
"In an upcoming release, it would be beneficial to have more practical intelligence in the system, such as protective maintenance, or artificial intelligence."
"Maybe its user interface and reporting can be improved across the board, but it is manageable."
