Automation reduces manual processes and enhances operational efficiency
Almost all the features are useful, from procurement to manufacturing, as they are interconnected and useful. The procurement process stands out particularly. We have been able to implement customizations to meet our approval processes, making it easier to get PO approvals and requests approved. Having multiple people approve before a PO is completed is streamlined, and the system is easy to customize and modify. The system has reduced many manual processes, and we have automated several processes in Epicor ERP, allowing bots to run some processes without manual intervention. The system has enhanced accuracy, especially when the base data is correct and automation can read the data properly. The accuracy is above 90%, and when errors occur, automation informs users quickly before posting items to the GL. Epicor ERP has harmonized our processes and provides significant visibility in reporting. The internal reports of Epicor ERP have been instrumental in strategic planning.

Has shown limitations in digital capabilities but has supported key processes over time
JD Edwards World's real-time data analytics is very limited, and while it can be helpful, it is not the same as EnterpriseOne. I am currently using inventory management in JD Edwards World. I am satisfied with the security architecture in JD Edwards World; it is very easy and user-friendly. Even in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is very adaptable and you have role-based security without needing additional software. I am totally satisfied with the security part of JD Edwards World, but you must just know what you are doing. I am currently using on-premises JD Edwards World. My final mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now. Therefore, the way to go is EnterpriseOne or cloud. For current usage, I would rate JD Edwards World maybe a five. My overall review rating for JD Edwards World is five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Epicor ERP paid for itself in the first year and a half, and continued to make the company lean and more profitable by providing tools to manage business operations better, such as production scheduling, finance, and estimating products."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"Easy to use Great functionality Everyone can track all the KPIs online"
"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"In terms of manufacturing and in terms of the configuring of the product to meet a variety of different types of manufacturing requirements, the product works well."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"It has helped control operations in our Storage and Distribution Center, including processes such as Product reception, Inventory, Quality and inspection management, Shipping, General ledger, and Invoicing."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making, but not as fast as we want due to internal processes."
"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. For JDE products, including the World version, is very flexible. It's a good product for clients."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"The familiarity is great, and the ease of use is consistently there."
"JD Edwards World supports operations in manufacturing and distribution, which are crucial for our organization."
"A global system with a local presence and intercontinental communication, it provides us with a common language, product, and customer base."
"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users."
"We have been satisfied with how it works and how stable and reliable it is."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
 

Cons

"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"Epicor doesn't really have a proper cloud solution there, although they claim they do."
"Yes, we would get crashes relatively often."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool; it is hard to use right now because it has a lot of customizations, and we are having issues pulling the reports."
"The inventory module needs to be improved as it is not that easy to use."
"AI and additional improvements could be made."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"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."
"JD Edwards World is very outdated and not really supported anymore."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
