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 JD Edwards World is perceived as outdated, lacking modern support and significant updates, with much of its functionality considered legacy.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

"Menu creation is easier now."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"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."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
More JD Edwards World pros

"Overall the solution is very good in the industry."
"If you are well versed in SAP, the initial setup is pretty simple."

Cons

"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"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."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"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
"Functionality could be improved."
"It is not easily integrated with outside products."
"More integrations and built-in integrations with other environments and products are needed."
"Presently, the solution's interface is not intuitive."
"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."
"The reporting could be improved, such as the casework, production, and activity reports. Our consultants in a subsidiary enterprise have requested that we develop a new production report. They could also improve production, financial, and HR analysis."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"The version that we are using lacks in reporting. The reporting feature needs to be constructed more in this product. There can be better scope for mobility. They could include the technical development of reports instead of depending completely on programming. The programming method needs to be easy."

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 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."
"When you have a solution that is stable, reliable, and has a high performance as this solution, the price is going to be expensive. However, when you evaluate the service you are paying for the cost is quite reasonable for this solution."
"The solution is expensive so I rate cost a five out of ten."
"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 licensing costs are slightly on the higher side. They need to make it more competitive."
"There is a license needed to use this solution."
"There is an annual subscription for the use of SAP ERP."
"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."
"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."
