JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Reviews

• JDE software development kit, including application design aid, report design aid, data dictionary, table design aid, business view design aid, table conversion, EDI (electronic data interchange), named event rule, C business functions, UPK (user productivity kit), business services.
• In JDE Version 9.1: E1 pages, one-view reporting, Cafe One, watch list.
• In JDE Version 9.2: IoT (Internet of Things)

All are valuable features of this product. So, all these features are very important, but from my point of view, I like EDI and z-file processing; these features allow clients to integrate old legacy systems into the JDE Enterprise One System.

Our organization is totally a development team; we have developed applications and report components per client requirements, so as of right now, I would not be able to provide an example of how this product has improved the way my organization functions.

Currently, you are not able to copy the NER in the software development framework.

There is also room for improvement in business services and IoT.

I have used it for the last 4.6 years; mostly working from the technical side.

We have not encountered any stability issues.

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

I think technical support is 10 out of 10.

We did not previously use a different solution.

I don't know about price and licensing but JDE is one of the best software, which satisfies client requirements easily.

I don't know if other products were evaluated.

I think JDE would be the best to implement it.

• Warehouse management
• Advanced pricing
• Sales order management
• Inventory
• Procurement and subcontracting
• Bulk stock management
• Fulfillment management
• Advanced stock evaluation
• Environmental accounting and reporting

Order processing time has been reduced by 30% (KPI metric). There are many such instances that were shared by various clients in my consulting career.

I would like to see improvements in:

• Change in grade & potency on volume control (BOM) while issuing a work order
• Work order approval process
• Transportation module rate schedule flexibility
• PO receipt reversal using the EDI process
• Purchase order approval process
• Landed cost rule hierarchy definition
• Account codes that can have legacy description for reporting
• Sourcing processes with more flexibility and direct relationships with the purchase cycle
• Self-requisition process approval setup to be made available for the purchase cycle

My experience in JD Edwards has been for about 17 years. I worked with almost all the versions of JD Edwards: WorldSoft, OneWorld XE, and EnterpriseOne.

We had stability issues, but Oracle support resolved them.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

As a consultant, I have been involved with many successful JD Edwards implementations. The changes were for the better.

The setup was complex for the most part. In a few cases, it was simple.

The ROI is good.

In pre-sales, we used to appraise our clients on the strengths and weaknesses of the product.

It’s a good ERP system that gives users ease-of-use, the flexibility to integrate with other systems, and the ability to meet most of the KPIs.

• Easy maintenance
• Fast development
• Very complete modules
• Multi-platform
• Multi-languages
• Multi-currency
• Completely configurable
• Integration with mobile applications
• Web services
• and more.

File management is easy to obtain. We do not need to spend user time to sort the information.

Gives us better work-floor management and easy integration with scanners, dispatch, etc.

EnterpriseOne has been the product that allows us to focus on our products and not on our ERP, and this means a lot.

Project management and CRM. Oracle has another solution for these areas. These functional areas of ERP are not on top of the market. You will need to purchase a specific solution.

I have used EnterpriseOne for eight years.

I did not encounter any issues with stability when the system is updated by people who do understand the road-map and the product. With EnterpriseOne, you need to have good developers to keep up the performance of the system. All companies need adjustments and developments, but they must be performed taking as a reference 'the future' of the products, retrofits, updates, etc. Then you can be updated every two years and not getting stacked into a version.

We have not really had any scalability issues.

Oracle has improved a lot. This was a pending subject I when I raised my first service request to Oracle and it took months to get an answer. Nowadays, I am getting a web conference, call, or an email after sending my request. My last issue was solved within two weeks (a tricky one). This is an 4/5 to me.

To be a great competitor, you need to be surrounded by the best employees, best products, best service and best technology and, from my point of view, Oracle is doing this very well.

EnterpriseOne can be multi-platform. That means you can have two servers on Linux, one on Windows and the last one could be an AS400. This complexity cannot be provided for by another product. My initial setup was complex, but the architecture was very complex, too. After that, I have had multiple easy setups. The best way to achieve this is to choose only one OS for your servers; otherwise it could be a nightmare.

This is a product for medium to large companies. It is not cheap, but it is not expensive. You must be able to analyze the price of maintenance, consultancy, times to develop a solution, etc. The first invoice is not the most important. This is a long time relationship (Company+ERP).

• Navision
• SAP
• OpenBravo

Ask for demo's, because maybe my vision is not your vision. The best way to know the product is to ask for small demo's.

I find the following features to be most valuable:

• Technical and functional flexibility.
• Ability to change when the client needs to grow.

The improvements, I could summarize in one word: Increased control. This is true for the following areas

• Inventory
• Costs
• Finance
• Plant Maintenance
• Fixed assets
• Legal documents

In addition, its flexibility has enabled us to change its original configuration to better our business.

I would like to see the following:

• Improvement to the procedure for installing and updating the JD Edwards application.
• Classification of documents of installation of ESUs, by:
  
  • Those with special instructions.
  • Creation of tables.
  • Special instructions for "Locations".

I have used it for 22 years.

There were stability issues, and part of the job, is to offer a stable platform. We followed the following process stages:

• Evaluated.
• Tested.
• Scaled to Oracle, when required.
• Evaluated options.
• Implement in production.

There are always scalability issues. But, as a JD Edwards technician, I support the hardware sales, and I am responsible for performing Dimensioning (or "Platform Sizing") platform.

Technical support are A1; the best.

I am a specialist and use an appropriate solution according to the needs of the business.

Setup can be complex. I have worked with complicated products such as JD Edwards, considering their variety of options to configure and variety of providers involved. The secret is to have the proper documentation and support from the manufacturer and of course, constancy.

This product is like every other application, in this business area. So, in each instance, the important thing is to do the following:

• Determine the scope of the need.
• Functionality of the application.
• What the application offers to grow?
• How can I adjust its price per budget.

For example, limiting the ability to grow the application with the business, will lead to implementing a new application in the future. (This will cost more).

I have evaluated many other products, which offer the same functionality but they really had a high (price / benefit) relationship.

This application is multi-platform so select the one where your systems personnel, has more experience.

You must commit, to all departments of the company in the implementation.

It should be placed in the same area for all the consultants and their staff.

Remember, this is a project that requires:

• Document Reach.
• Commit resources.
• Follow-up of commitments.

It carries out warehouse automation for a logistic company.

The application is growing and should include a lot of improvements over a short period of time.

I have used this solution for around 15 years.

There were no stability issues.

We did not have any scalability issues.

The technical support level is quite good.

This product is an ERP tool. The level of complexity depends on a lot of variables. Generally, it is straightforward.

This product is for medium/large companies, i.e., those with sales of more than €20 million.

Find a good IT company to implement it. A project could fail if you don't have the correct partner.

We use the solution in trade, construction, financial, and manufacturing. It has the capability of operating in all sectors.

The solution has provided our company with very strong procurement and supply chain abilities. Our clients are very happy.

I have found the solutions best features to be financial procurement, inventory, and manufacturing. Additionally, the dashboard has improved over the years and it is good.

The flexibility of workflows and multi-industry implementation support should be improved.

In the next release, there should be more planning features.

I have been using this solution for 14 years.

I have found the solution to be reliable.

The solution is scalable.

The support has been excellent, we have never had a problem with it.

The installation is one of the best, it is very easy to install.

We have benefited financially from the usage of this solution.

The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors.

In terms of financial and distribution, this solution is one of the best. I would recommend this solution to others if they have the money.

I rate JD Edwards EnterpriseOne an eight out of ten.

Robust supply chain model: This greatly reduces the need for customization via code changes.

It incorporates industry specific standards thereby inculcating a process oriented work culture.

The report development tools needs more GUI interfaces and it needs to be more user centric. There is another view reporting tool that works on these guidelines.

I have been using EnterpriseOne for 18 years.

We have not had much issue with stability.

We have not had any scalability issues.

I rate technical support 4/5.

We were using something else. We switched to meet business demands.

Licensing is a bit complex, especially after it was acquired by Oracle.

We looked at SAP.

It’s a good and configurable product. Need to ensure that the business hires the right resources to implement it.

• Financial management
• Operations management
• Integration with distribution and retail software

• Cost management
• Sales reporting
• Accounting and manufacturing controls, with a low cost of management, within a very small IT team (less than six people).

• BI reporting and customization
• Easy configuration
• Access and visibility of different business processes on a single UI. 

• Workflow management
• Integration with IoT solutions
• Ease of deployment over Microsoft products (aside from Oracle DBMS).
