Featured Reviews

Eugenio Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
IT and processes re-engineering manager at DEUTZ AG
Program adapts to our requirements and handles our operations effectively
The interface we use currently needs enhancement, as I am still using the outdated green screens. I would benefit for us to adpot the latest INFOR user interface, which is a more integrated interface. Additionally, improvements in warehouse handling with handheld terminal, quality management in warehouses, and managing a dual sourcing strategy would be beneficial. I have had to build my own applications for some features that are lacking, and aligning all components for uncertainty management in the market is necessary.

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.

Cons

"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Infor LX is not cheap but much cheaper compared to SAP HANA."
"Our last maintenance fee was around $15,000 a year for 33 current users."
"Pricing is variable due to different deals and discounts, typically starting at around $2000 US dollars for one license."
"The cost depends on the number of users and the modules required."
"The price of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is high. However, every ERP solution has a high price."
"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"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 solution's pricing depends on the deal and the number of users."
