JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Reviews

We use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for manufacturing, finance, and procurement.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is perfect for our reporting for the management, workflow, and procurement workflow.

The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier.

I have been using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for 19 years.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a stable solution.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a scalable solution. More than 100 users are using the solution in our organization.

Compared to other ERPs, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne's initial setup is more easy and straightforward.

The solution's setup takes one or two weeks.

We have seen a return on investment with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

The solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users.

Before choosing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, we evaluated SAP.

I am using the latest version of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. The solution can be deployed both on-premises and on-cloud, but we currently update it from on-premise to cloud.

I would recommend JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to other users. Users should have the right persons and the right team. The solution will not be good for users without a good team, proper key users, and proper process documentation.

Overall, I rate JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ten out of ten.

Feature-wise, it is a good product. I have implemented the solution in a big company. It is one of my projects where I implemented JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

In terms of weaknesses, I can say that the product has no problems since it can be easily deployed.

Instead of considering adding additional things to the overall app, it is good to add a financial path and general ledger since that is what is mostly used here.

The only issue with the solution that it yet to consider improvements in its price.

I have experience with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. I have twenty years of experience with the solution. I am involved in a lot of big projects, including the small ones. I am a technical consultant. My company has a partnership with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

The product has been stable so far.

I am satisfied with the technical support by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

In terms of pricing, we have a lot of problems because companies here don't have enough resources to acquire the product. So we need to evaluate the price according to our demographic.

The license cost is around 1,00,000 euros.

We do have to pay additionally for maintenance.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

It is an ERP platform.

I use it for admin privileges to create a user and delete a user or granting with the usage of our user is different in their perspective. They use it for logistics or ERP functionality, whichever is applicable to them.

It’s a web-based application and it is easy to use. It offers a wide range of solutions for the industry part.

The product is easy to set up.

It’s a stable product.

The solution can scale.

The solution is already pretty refined. If they can continue to do so, it will continuously get better.

We’d like to see technical support integrated within the application so that it is not required to raise additional incidents or do manual outreach to support. We can reduce the manual process for technical support by having it within the solution itself. That would be easier than sending tickets.

I’ve used the solution for more than three years.

We’re on the cloud now. There are some integration and migration issues, however, apart from that, the application is stable. Probably once everything is sorted after the implementation, it should be good.

The solution is scalable. We already have a scaled version of it.

We have around 5,000 users right now.

We haven’t really had issues with the solution. It’s very easy to use and therefore we haven’t needed the help of support so much.

It’s easy to initially set up. It’s not hard at all.

I’m not sure how long it takes to deploy the product.

I'm not sure about the license part. I don't have any details.

I’m not sure if the company evaluated anything else beforehand.

I am a reseller.

I am not a regular user of it, I'm an admin user of it and I am not aware of the application part of it.

New users can use the solution as a web implementation of the application and it is a user-friendly application.

I’d recommend the product to others.

I would rat ether solution eight out of ten.

We are a consultancy and we use this solution to provide services for our customers.

Over time, I have used JD Edwards for a variety of use cases. One of the very recent ones was converting from strong discrete costing to actual costing in a manufacturing setting. Some other examples are capital asset management and AP automation.

The most valuable feature is the user experience, where you can create your own queries, it sends you alerts, and it's very flexible.

The interface is very user-friendly. As long as you apply logic, it is easy to do the technical stuff. It is structured well so you don't always have to depend on technical people to do things like create reports.

It has the latest features in terms of embedded mobility and orchestration.

The integration with other products is easy to do.

Customization is easy to do, as long as you stick to their rules. It can be customized in a cloud-based deployment, as well.

There are tools in place that allow users to update the system themselves, without any technical support.

Support for developers is easy because they have their own toolset. They have options for using SQL, RPG, and different languages, depending on the hardware that you're using.

I would like to see the HR features enhanced with respect to localization for South Africa and other countries. They have perhaps 12 localizations but I think that for countries like South Africa, where the payroll system is unique, they should start investing more heavily.

I would like to see more training documentation, or alternatively, training that you can do without having to go offsite. Unfortunately, when training with Oracle, it is quite expensive. Also, the instructors come from India and the dialect is very difficult for people from South Africa to understand. Consequently, a lot of people feel that it's a waste. It could have been very good but they didn't understand what the trainer was saying. This is a big thing that I would like to see more with. The documentation that they have is good, but it's very expensive so people would rather not buy it.

I have been working with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for about 20 years, since 2000. Prior to that, I had been using JD Edwards World since 1991.

EnterpriseOne is used on a daily basis and the actual solution is very stable, whether deployed on-premises in on the cloud. Stability will depend on who did the setup, as with any system. When you try to take short cuts then you end up short anyway.

It is absolutely easy to scale this product. We have about ten users in the company.

I have a little bit of experience with similar products from several vendors, including Microsoft Dynamics and SAP. I have found that the user experience is much nicer within JD Edwards, compared to anything else that I have seen. It is not rigid and allows you to change or customize things within the framework that is provided.

NetSuite is a little bit cheaper than JD Edwards, although they are catering more to smaller enterprises rather than medium-sized organizations. They compromise certain functionality or applications. A lot of the applications out there are good for startups, but the moment that you start diversifying, you have to start looking either at add-ons or re-implementing different ERPs. The trend lately is not to just replace everything. Rather, have additional or complementary products that suit your needs

With JD Edwards, it is a fully integrated system so you can run just certain modules, but it's optimized if you use the full ERP system. For example, if you need procurement, work orders, and financials, then there is a benefit to moving everything into one system.

Provided you understand the framework, it is quite easy to install and set up. After this, it is easy to maintain and manage. The length of time required for deployment depends on whether you have a proper blueprint because all of the processes are embedded. With all of the blueprints available, for a new installation, it can take between six and nine months.

The deployment will also depend on the state of your data. It may already be clean, or it maybe needs to be pre-processed before migrating. I would say that every situation is unique. You can do the majority of the setup offsite, just by getting all of the business processes in advance. Then, when you start UAT and other testing, you go onsite and go live. It's not that complex. I came from a financial background and moved into the IT sphere, which was not that difficult to do.

The maintenance is done with our in-house team. Normally, you have one person for every module. However, on the technical side, you only need one person because everything has been automated and is orchestrated to do a lot of the work for you. It just pops out some reports and alerts as it monitors the system for you.

In some cases, we used assistance from the vendor during the implementation, although we have also deployed it ourselves. These days, a lot of the migration, upgrades, or updates are done internally.

When it comes to supporting our customers, we are able to do functionality support because we've got in-house business analysts who do the actual applications. 

The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP. It is very much on part with Dynamics, although Dynamics can become quite pricey in the end.

The cost of licensing depends on the modules that are being used. It varies because some of them are user-based, whereas others are employee-based. 

There is a lite license and a normal license. People who use it full time, like in procurement or for someone doing purchase orders, use a normal license. On the other hand, when you get people that only do approvals, for instance, then they can get a lite license and it's a little bit cheaper.

Most of my experience is with on-premises deployments, although I have also worked in an environment where we hosted it on the cloud. If you have a cloud-based deployment then it's managed and maintained by the vendor, although you can still have your own customizations that are unique to the business.

The vendor continuously improves this product, basing their changes according to the feedback provided by customers. At this point in time, it is difficult to asks for specific features because they're very compatible with any other system in the market.

They are very strong in the manufacturing, construction, and engineering industries.

My advice for anybody who is implementing JD Edwards is to make sure that all of your processes are stabilized and standardized. Follow the best practices. Make sure that the processes are not coming from somebody who had good ideas 60 years ago but in reality, are no longer effective.

The best thing to do is make sure that the data is clean and you have the blueprints for the business processes according to best practices.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

The college relied heavily on JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for all its financial reporting, procurement, and project management needs. It was a crucial component of the day-to-day operations at the college.

The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are financial reporting, procurement, and project management.

The solution could improve by having additional efficient analytics available to more users. They should allow a sample database to be able to test and do proof of concept would be extremely valuable to all of our clients.

I have been using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for approximately 20 years.

More transparent pricing of the software is needed.

I rate JD Edwards EnterpriseOne a nine out of ten.

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 ERP software solutions available in the market now.

One feature is that J.D. Edwards supports any software it integrates with.

It's a 100% stable product. In past versions, there were issues of instability. But, now it is entirely stable, as long as it is properly maintained and properly implemented.

It can be scalable to any extent. There are no issues and no boundaries. We find for J.D. Edwards to scale. It can serve small medium and large enterprises at the same time.

Originally, there were some complications with implementation. But now, it is very simple to set up and get everything going in a couple of months. Oracle has done tremendous work on improving the issues that we were facing on the J.D. Edwards front, and they fixed all those issues. Now we do a straight forward, simple plug-and-play installation, so there are no problems technically now.

The pricing of this solution costs an arm and a leg. This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards.

We compared:

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne vs Dynamics AX
• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne vs SAP
• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne vs Red Hat. 

We selected JD Edwards because technically it was sound, and commercially, it came at a good price. It was a great value.

When looking for a new product, definitely consider:

• Stability
• IT technology
• Value

I use the solution for managing financial aspects like accounting, customer providers, and distribution of goods.

The tool is valuable for its rich set of functionalities and stability.

The product’s pricing should be improved.

I have been using this solution for the past five years.

The solution is stable.

The customer service and support is good.

Positive

The initial setup was complex. Currently, approximately 10 to 20 individuals within our company are using the solution.

The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

This is a stable and solid product. 

We've lost the second and third layer of support to a company that specializes in JD Edwards, so they do all the changes for us. 

I've been using this solution for 12 years. 

We have some small issues but the stability is fine. 

The scalability is good. 

We have a monthly SOA meeting. Tech support is always busy with tickets, incidents, changes and service requests.

The initial setup is somewhere between straightforward and complex. It was not straightforward, but it was done a while ago and would likely be simpler these days. We used a third party for our implementation 12 years ago. We now have 600 users. 

We've seen a return on our investment. 

The licensing costs are reasonable. 

I recommend this solution and rate it 10 out of 10.
