A good legacy solution that is reliable and has good support
We use the product for operations as well as for finance. The World application that we use as a finance ledger World is old. It's legacy. It's pretty stable. It's a good solution.  It does scale.  Technical support is good.  The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive. Its end of life is…

Offers a wide range of functionalities for large enterprises but system requires expertise to implement and configure
In the past few years, the main challenge has been the annual maintenance cost. We've often replaced Oracle with Dynamics, which is cheaper than Oracle but still expensive for governments in Africa with limited budgets to sustain it. So, the main challenge is the cost versus the value. We don't get lower value with Dynamics 365, and I've seen governments implement other alternatives like Odoo, too. They don't see the value in paying millions of dollars in maintenance fees. Oracle needs to understand the reality of the situation. In the African market, Oracle is the least of the considerations. People don't even want to consider Oracle. They need to come up with something more cost-effective because people do not see the value in paying those maintenance fees. As a system integrator, I don't gain anything because most of the money gets transferred to Oracle. They need to relook at their licensing models. NetSuite is pretty rigid for a cloud-based suite. There are varying requirements to make changes to the configuration, which becomes a hassle compared to even Dynamics. They need to relax how they handle this. The licensing is also very complicated, with so many parameters that it's confusing, and sizing becomes confusing. Streamlining the licensing would be helpful so that it becomes transparent for the customer.

Pros

"Menu creation is easier now."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"It is a solution for GFMIS (Governmental Fiscal Management Information Systems)."
"I like that one system covers everything."
"Oracle's technical support is better than others."
"Great finance modules and customization."
"The solution is good for small businesses."
"It is a very consistent product on IBM. There is also a lot of knowledge data."
"I have found the solution to have a good interface, security, and is user-friendly."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a stable product."
 

Cons

"I would like report creation to be easier."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
"There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"It's not easy for people without technical knowledge to understand how to implement it."
"Reporting is a big area for improvement. It needs to provide the ability to extract data from the suite. Oracle has also been making a great effort to make E-Business Suite more user-friendly but there are still areas where a focus on User Experience would help."
"I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation."
"Improving the reporting and user interface of Oracle ERP would be beneficial and is something that can be considered for future updates."
"User interface is outdated and not user friendly."
"It's more expensive than other options due to licensing costs and core-based hardware."
"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"We need more user-friendly fast formulas for all HRMS modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."

"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses."

"We pay about $300 a year in order to license the solution."
"The pricing is high."
