JD Edwards World Reviews

We primarily use the solution for finance, procurement, and capital asset management, among other things. 

The solution is very mature. 

It has worked fine for many years. 

It's stable.

It has been able to scale.

Support was always helpful. 

World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it. The client has used it for the past 18 or 19 years. They've outgrown World, so they want to move from World to EnterpriseOne or Fusion.

The solution is out-of-date and no longer supported. 

It's a command-based system. Everybody these days wants a good grid to use. 

I've used the solution for the last 12 months at last. I have a client using it currently and I help support them. 

It is very stable. World is one of the most stable ERPs, I would say.

World was scalable. As our business grew, business processes were reviewed, and they were able to implement them in World. As of now, World works for them. Obviously, if they wanted to implement some new things like interfaces with other systems, World would be struggling. That is the main reason why the client wants to upgrade or change their software.

Support is good. When we were doing the capital asset management, we escalated a few issues to technical support to resolve those. We were happy with the level of service.

Usually, they'll just give you scripts to run. Their response is always really good.

This customer currently wants to upgrade, so they're looking to go to either EnterpriseOne or maybe Oracle Fusion.

Originally, the initial setup was fine. It was fun. However, now it is harder. It's not getting updated. Not much is changing on it. Likely no one will be installing it anymore. 

I was involved in this World implementation way back. It wasn't difficult. Basically, they would give you a task, and then you go through the task. It was fun then. Now, you have to always remember a lot of commands to be able to use it, and nobody does that now.

It is not difficult to maintain. If you know what you're doing, it's okay. Obviously, the IBM box is where there will be challenges. When your hardware goes off, then you have to find people with that skill set to come in and deploy for you.

I'm not sure of the exact pricing. 

I started working with JD Edwards World 7.3. I worked with 9.1 and then now EnterpriseOne.

It's difficult to compare this solution to the modern ERP solutions out there. It's very dated. I wouldn't recommend it to others as it is out of date. I'd rate it six out of ten. 

I'm using the solution for financials, taxes, supply areas, and backup functionalities.

The functionality just related to integration is the most valuable aspect of the solution.

The solution is stable.

The scalability of the product is great.

We've found the initial setup to be easy.

The integration technology could be stronger at this point. 

There could be some more functionality related to the dashboard to check information using reports in a graph view. It could be more manageable.

I've been using the solution for four years. I've used it for a while at this point. 

The solution has very good stability. There aren't any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability potential is strong. The solution can expand as needed. It's not a problem.

I don't handle troubleshooting aspects of the solution. I've never directly dealt with them and therefore can't comment on their level of service.

The solution is very easy to set up. It's not a complex or difficult process. A company shouldn't have any issues. 

We are a customer and an end-user.

I'd advise potential new users to understand better the requirements and check how their other applications can connect with the ERP before starting out.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

I use JD Edwards World to implement every client site across different sectors, such as the government, higher education, healthcare, etc., so the solution has benefited my company. Still, each client has unique priorities, business processes, and requirements.

I like that JD Edwards World is perfect for my use cases, but what I like best about it is its navigation.

One area for improvement in JD Edwards World is its pricing. It would be better if its pricing could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience with the budget for it.

My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World.

I've been using JD Edwards World since 2001.

The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable.

If I were implementing JD Edwards World today, it would be version 9.2.

My rating for JD Edwards World is nine out of ten.

We use the solution for managing sales, warehouse, manufacturing process, etc.

The critical feature of JD Edwards World is MRP, i.e., Material Resource Planning.

Oracle could make more integration processes.

I have been using JD Edwards World since 2001.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

Around 100 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

I have used SAP ESS and Microsoft Dynamics before.

I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten.

I rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten, where one is high and ten is low.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

With the World version, we use the finance module, distribution module, and the manufacturing module.

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. JDE products, including the World version, is very flexible. It's a good product for clients.

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. 

I have been using JD Edwards Worlds for three to four years. 

JDE World is more stable than JDE EnterpriseOne. For JDE EnterpriseOne, the Integrity part will generate some errors. Since they have low Integrity, we get some duplicate records in the accumulator table. This is an issue.

For this type of issue, that will cause maybe the losses, it is about a single step or a single web program. 

A main difference between EnterpriseOne and World is the user interface, they are different. JDE is totally web-based system already. But for the JDE World, I think they need to use a CS program to access the server and then do the operations.

There is some type of difference between JDE EnterpriseOne and JDE World version. The table is not the same. Most of them are the same, but some tables are different.

The server is also a difference. For the JDE World version, they normally use the IBM X400 servers. But for JDE EnterpriseOne, they can build on the Intel servers. 

I would rate JDE World and eight out of ten. 

I would like to see performance monitoring improve. Since I have experience with SAP, I know they have some program to monitor the performance, they can know what the current CPU is and what the program status is. But in JDE, I don't know whether they have enough programs to do the monitoring for the performance.

I would recommend EnterpriseOne over World. I have done a comparison between JDE, SAP, and EPS, I think JDE is the best amongst these three ERPs. I'm in China and JDE has very few customers here. I think the root cause is the cost strategy. Their sales strategy is wrong.

We are using JD Edwards World as our core backbone for our retail business in distribution and accounting.

The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions.

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.

I have been using JD Edwards World for approximately 12 years.

JD Edwards World is a stable solution.

I have found JD Edwards World to be scalable.

The solution would be best suited for medium-sized companies because the cost would be expensive for small businesses.

We have not contacted the support. We have our own internal support team. However, because of the legacy nature of the solution, we have had some challenges with finding the resources.

The implementation of JD Edwards World was done by partners.

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

I am satisfied with the solution overall, and I would recommend it to others.

I rate JD Edwards World a seven out of ten.
