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."
"We find the ease of use, customization, and user interface valuable."
"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"The most valuable features of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are the flexibility of the configuration, it is highly configurable. It is not rigid as other solutions, such as SAP. They have recently added a custom workflow approach and approval workflows."
"A stable and solid product."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a user-friendly ERP solution that is quite simple."
"I think it is strong in sales, inventory, and pricing."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution can scale."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"It does not submit the inquiry as requested. We have to close the application and restart the computer."
"Needs better integration with IoT solutions."
"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."
"From the operation perspective, it could offer more functionality for the APIs."
"I would like to see the HR features enhanced with respect to localization for South Africa and other countries."
"The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier."
"There is room for improvement on the payroll side, as the solution is not very strong in this area."
"The product’s pricing should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing depends on the module you’re purchasing."
"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."
"More transparent pricing of the software is needed."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
