Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

SAP ERP and JD Edwards World compete in the ERP software category. SAP ERP appears to have the upper hand in business integrations and comprehensive functionality, while JD Edwards World excels in ease of use and specific module support.

Features: SAP ERP provides extensive business efficiency with modules supporting finance, supply chain management, and human capital management. Its customizable features and seamless integration capabilities make it suitable for large enterprises. JD Edwards World is known for its user-friendliness, offering unique functionalities and solid support in modules such as MRP and traceability.

Room for Improvement: SAP ERP is often criticized for its high costs, a complex user interface, and integration challenges with external systems. Users seek a better user experience and more straightforward integration options. JD Edwards World is perceived as outdated, lacking modern support and significant updates, with much of its functionality considered legacy.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SAP ERP offers both on-premises and cloud configurations, catering to various business scales. Its customer service is generally satisfactory but noted for slow and costly technical support. JD Edwards World primarily provides on-premises deployment, with its support often criticized for being outsourced and insufficiently robust.

Pricing and ROI: SAP ERP comes with high licensing fees and maintenance costs, making it less accessible for small to medium enterprises, though its ROI is achieved over several years through efficiency gains. JD Edwards World is more financially accessible, benefiting from legacy product pricing, but its ROI potential is limited by its narrower feature set compared to SAP ERP.

Ramandeep Walia - PeerSpot reviewer
A good legacy solution that is reliable and has good support
We haven't done any implementation in the last ten years. That said, we did upgrade it in 2017-16 to the latest version and it was quite okay. It was complex yet not too much. I'd rate it three and a half out of five in terms of ease of setup.

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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users. I think EnterpriseOne is more convenient for users to do the inquiry and do the data entry. The UI is better than JDE World. For JDE products, including the World version, is very flexible. It's a good product for clients."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
More JD Edwards World pros
"Overall the solution is very good in the industry."
"Continuing to use it enabled continuity of business."
"It is a utility-focused solution, and the deployment is very much aligned with utility service providers. If you look at the supply chain and the overall business model of a utility service provider, SAP is something that fits very well. That's because the company has invested tremendously in creating appropriate workflows pertaining to this segment or domain."
"The most valuable features of SAP ERP is the flexibility and functionality. It is one of the best ERPs I have seen in the market."
"I like the solution's ability to close plans and resource requirements in deals."
"The features are very useful for finance."
"It is easier to migrate to SAP ERP from a legacy system. We have different products for data services, and it is easier to migrate to SAP ERP as compared to other solutions. Stability is one of the main features of SAP. What makes SAP ERP better than others is that SAP has taken into consideration the business processes of different industries, such as manufacturing. They have done the research, and they know what are the best practices. They have already implemented these best practices in SAP ERP, which are readily available for a client. Clients can also customize it based on their individual needs."
"SAP is a very process controlled application. It does not allow users to manage the data. Once the initial process is set, it works smoothly."
More SAP ERP pros
 

Cons

"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"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."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"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 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."
More JD Edwards World cons
"The user interface isn't as nice as SAP HANA's."
"There will always be something within our business that it won't fit."
"Although you can use SAP as a Warehouse Management System, and you don’t need any other program for that purpose, it is not enough as a Transportation Management System. You need another program which is integrated with SAP."
"It's difficult to code; structured language is difficult."
"The initial setup of SAP ERP is complex and it took a lot of time."
"The user interface needs to 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."
"SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors."
More SAP ERP cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"My company makes early payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product. There are no additional costs apart from the charges paid toward the subscription-based license offered by SAP."
"The solution can cost approximately $1 million a year for maintenance for a small-size company and can grow from there. Approximately $1 million is needed for a good-size company."
"I rate SAP ERP's pricing a six or seven out of ten."
"The licensing costs are slightly on the higher side. They need to make it more competitive."
"This is a costly product."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. SAP ERP is a costly tool."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap or affordable, and ten is really expensive. The solution is expensive."
"There is a one-time license that is needed to use the solution. The support is what is needed to be renewed annually."
