it was (previously) not aesthetically pleasing. It's more user friendly, now. They changed the interface, so there's not so many duplicate screens.
The number one way they improved this product was something called workspaces. This is like a dashboard meant for, depending on your role with a specific organization, so maybe if you're in accounting and financials, you need to see accounts receivable, accounts payable, your general ledger, so you could set up a dashboard for when you first login -- to drill down into the most important parts of your job and requirements with the company that you need visibility into -- rather than having to start from scratch, so you could set up your own dashboard. Macola is user based, so say you have seven primary users in your company, say you have your president, your CFO, your controller, your accounting manager, your IT person, your operations person, and your warehouse manager, you can customize as many as you want, depending on how many users you buy and have each individual dashboard be tailored towards that individual and their job/role with the company.

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

"Whether it's light or heavy manufacturing with bill of materials, traceability, order entry, stuff like that, I mean, that's probably the number one strength of Macola ES, I would say, for light and heavy manufacturing organizations."
"Everything's under one umbrella and so that's why we're going to JD Edwards; it's just incredible for efficiency."
"Technical support are A1; the best."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne has improved within all the solutions and there have been a lot of investments by Oracle in these solutions. Most of the functionalities, and business requirements, are available for the system in the solution and there have been enhancements to the processes, UI, and tools, which have been done on a regular basis."
"It’s a web-based application and it is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the scope of functionality that JD Edwards covers."
"Every single module has some particular value depending on who the type of user is."
"We do a straight forward, simple plug and play installation so there are no problems technically now."
"But for large enterprises, it's a very good and cost-effective solution that's competitive with other products like SAP."
 

Cons

"If you have to call Exact Macola directly as a developer, it's like calling Verizon; you don't know if you're speaking with someone from India, or knows anything about your account, or they're seeing it for the first time."
"The reporting has to be flexible or it will turn the end-user off."
"Something that could be included is a supply chain management system. That's what we're looking for."
"There were stability issues, and part of the job, is to offer a stable platform."
"My concern is that it's not keeping pace with what's happening in the real world."
"They need to improve the logs and need to write some sort of script that clears logs after so many days."
"The initial setup was complex...One should get the end-user manual because, in some parts, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is not user-friendly."
"We originally used EnterpriseOne for preventative maintenance, but it is not very good at that so we migrated to Maximo for that task."
"Implementing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can have its challenges. For example, we faced issues like timeout exceptions in a recent integration project while pulling data from third-party systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It depends on the number of users and the modules that you want to buy. It is licensed on a perpetual license basis. You buy the license costs upfront, and then there is maintenance for support that you pay every year, which is typically about 20%."
"In terms of pricing, we have a lot of problems because companies here don't have enough resources to acquire the product. So we need to evaluate the price according to our demographic...The license cost is around 1,00,000 euros."
"There is an annual license for this solution."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"The maintenance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is expensive and overall the solution is expensive. Most enterprise operation solution is expensive."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"The pricing is an "arm-and-a-leg". This keeps the customers away from going for J.D. Edwards."
"The price of the solution is not cheap. However, it is priced average amongst competitors."
