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.

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

Pros

"I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"We compared one company which was working on SAP and converted to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and it was a big company that converted from SAP to JD Edwards."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are financial reporting, procurement, and project management."
"Traceability is the most valuable feature of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne...The stability of the solution is excellent."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience, where you can create your own queries, it sends you alerts, and it's very flexible."
"It is highly configurable. You have a choice in terms of how you want to run it. You can run it in your own data center, in a private cloud, or in a public cloud. The choice is really up to the customer."
"It is very straightforward to deploy and set up."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
