Presents all information in one place and automates some of our manual processes
This product is used by more than 50 colleges in our state and it is purchased by the government. The system office does the testing and pushes out the patches to us, so everything has been testing. Even if there is any customization that needs to be done, it happens before it comes to us. As such, I haven't had to contact technical support myself.

Has supported global operations through multi-currency and modular customization
Oracle's support is not that good for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Their support is expensive, and I don't think you're getting your bang for your buck. For the cloud product, they do give you support, but everything is online and you might not get somebody. I would give Oracle's support for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne about a 6.5 on a scale of one to 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"Decent support, large installed base, adequate plus training."
"Using Ellucian means that we have more automated processes, and don't have to do everything manually."
"The solution has provided our company with very strong procurement and supply chain abilities, and our clients are very happy."
"When it's boiled down to the ERP system, I would recommend Oracle EOne compared to SAP since you can do lots of customization, and you have lots of other functionalities enabled in the system."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."
"JDE is one of the best software, which satisfies client requirements easily."
"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 ERPs that are available in the market now."
"Its user interface and ease of navigation are valuable."
"We did not have any problems with the scalability of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"It is expensive and uses an antiquated database (Unidata) that requires a specialized set of technical skills in staff."
"They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne could improve the speed because sometimes it takes time to load into the environment. This is typical when the ESU patch packages are used."
"Treasury management is typically used in forex, loans, trade management and property management is not available. The solution could improve if they added them."
"From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs."
"What would make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne better is more straightforward project implementation, including reducing the costs associated with upgrading projects."
"Needs better integration with IoT solutions."
"I would like the user experience to be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see improvements in the analytical part of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, specifically in the business intelligence aspect, to enhance its capabilities compared to bespoke solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"It's very competitively priced. The only problem now is that most of the industry is moving towards software as a service or a subscription model, whereas JD Edwards has a capital expenditure. You would spend on the licenses once off. You can either host it on-premise or in the cloud, but there is a licensing fee once a year."
"There is an annual license for this solution."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"The pricing is very high. Even though the license is perpetual yet you have to get the maintenance. Since we pay using Pesos, it's very expensive."
"The solution is really expensive."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
