Improved quality and supply chain management has boosted stock control
We mainly use Epicor ERP for stock control The most significant features of Epicor ERP for our business process are quality control and supply chain management. AI and additional improvements could be made. I have been using Epicor ERP for more than seven months. The deployment was done…
Ramandeep Walia - PeerSpot reviewer
A good legacy solution that is reliable and has good support
We haven't done any implementation in the last ten years. That said, we did upgrade it in 2017-16 to the latest version and it was quite okay. It was complex yet not too much. I'd rate it three and a half out of five in terms of ease of setup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is great for production planning because everything is out of the box. It smoothly handles the process from engineering to ERP, including version management and subcontracting. These features aren't in NetSuite."
"The product is stable with a rating of ten."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"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."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"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."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"In my use cases, JD Edwards World offers flexibility in listing capabilities."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
 

Cons

"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"The integration technology could be stronger at this point."
"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."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"World is old, so everybody is looking to just upgrade or migrate from it."
"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."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"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."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"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 price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
