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 JD Edwards World is perceived as outdated, lacking modern support and significant updates, with much of its functionality considered legacy.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.

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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Menu creation is easier now."

"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."

"We've found the initial setup to be easy."

"The ease of use is consistently there."

"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."

"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."

"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."

More JD Edwards World pros

"The accounting module's record and report process is closely integrated with almost every other process."

"The most valuable features are the claim management."

"The product’s most valuable feature is a centralized system integrating different departments within the organization."

"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 initial setup was straightforward."

"The solution has far more features, processes, and functionalities than we previously had."

More SAP ERP pros

Cons

"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."

"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."

"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 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."

"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."

"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."

"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."

"I would like report creation to be easier."

More JD Edwards World cons

"SAP is not making a big effort to make it easy to integrate solutions from other vendors. It's not easy at all... Integration is what they can do better."

"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 needs a more complete guidance with complete processes. Right now, it only has single transactions."

"The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better."

"There is room for improvement in the integration of the solution, especially in the payroll area."

"There should be better support provided to be able to migrate to S/4HANA easier."

"The warehouse management could be better."

"Their support should be improved. Instead of giving a general solution, their consultants should first try to understand the problem and then resolve the same. They should properly investigate the issue before providing the solution."

More SAP ERP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."

"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."

"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."

"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."

"The on-premises licensing model comes with annual maintenance whereas the cloud-based licensing model is a yearly subscription. The tool’s pricing is normal and not expensive."

"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."

"The pricing is based on the license per user, which I think makes the solution a bit costly...Basically, the prices of the solution are high, and we don't have that much revenue."

"There is an annual subscription for the use of SAP ERP."

"It could always be cheaper. They don't have a very easy model of licensing, but large entities would get the upper hand in negotiating the license."

"Licensing can vary, but for educational institutions, there are often favorable conditions."

"The solution is expensive so I rate cost a five out of ten."
