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

"Flexibility is the most valuable aspect of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne because it allows customization."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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 financials are great."
"The solution is stable."
"We're able to get all our processes flowing together. We're able to make all of our business processes talk to each other."
"SAP offers specific functions related to my data use case."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S/4HANA is the innovational process. We are able to receive more efficiency or accuracy than previous versions."
"From a technological point of view, the in-memory database is one of the key highlights."
"The solution makes its use and the management of our infrastructure easy."
"The most valuable feature is the inbuilt standards included in SAP that customers can adopt easily. Also offers to customize it based on the specific requirements."
"SAP S4HANA is a stable solution."
"SAP S/4HANA is a comprehensive ERP solution that provides better performance."
 

Cons

"We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task."
"I would like to see the HR features enhanced with respect to localization for South Africa and other countries."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne could improve the speed because sometimes it takes time to load into the environment. This is typical when the ESU patch packages are used."
"The flexibility of workflows and multi-industry implementation support should be improved."
"I haven't come across any downsides just yet."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"Financial side could be expanded by bringing in things like the IMS."
"Implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can have its challenges. For example, we faced issues like timeout exceptions in a recent integration project while pulling data from third-party systems."
"Starting out on the solution can be a bit complex and difficult."
"The user interface should be much more convenient and user-friendly."
"SAP is seen as quite expensive even now. It doesn't work for smaller or medium optimizations."
"Lacking in some customizations."
"We found that the implementing partners themselves are struggling with S4HANA's features. It's not an exact translation of the older ECC, so SAP has taken a new route to do things with S4HANA. Maybe it's a good product, but the implementing partners also like to have an in-depth understanding of the full feature set the product offers."
"Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."
"The licensing of SAP S/4HANA needs to be improved"
"The cost of their support services could be more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license for this solution."
"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 price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"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."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"The solution is really expensive."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"The product is expensive. On a scale of one to ten, one being the lowest price and ten being the highest, I rate the product price as seven or eight."
"I would rate the pricing at around six to nine out of ten depending on the edition and deployment type."
"Though we are talking about a competitively priced model, the pricing could be more cost-effective."
"The price of this product is an issue for some customers."
"This is not the cheapest solution on the market, so you need to invest seriously in it. As a solid product, it has a solid price. It's definitely one of the more expensive tools on the market, but it's also one of the best products on the market."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"Pricing is one area where S/4HANA has room for improvement. It's too costly for many people. They have come up with"
"Depending on the solution there can be a different way of doing the license. Most of the licenses are annual, but there are some models where it is that offer pay-as-you-go. Additionally, there are some solutions that offer monthly per user."
