Eric Oboh - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables efficient finance and maintenance management with real-time data and strong integration
The integration between plant maintenance, stores, and financials is highly valued by my customers in the refinery business, as it allows for efficient maintenance processes and easily accessible financial information. Additionally, the mobile features are beneficial as they allow managers to approve or reject orders on the go. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ( /products/jd-edwards-enterpriseone-reviews ) provides real-time data, which is very timely for decision-making. Managers have dashboards created for them that are readily updated for insightful information. This reflects the improved business intelligence features of the solution.

Provides end-to-end accounting and finance module at reasonable pricing
365 Business Central integrates with Office 365 to streamline the invoice approval process. This allows businesses to manage and approve invoices efficiently within a unified system. Our organization plans to transition to the Dynamics 365 environment, where various functions will be centralized. We will consolidate everything into one system instead of maintaining multiple databases for each country with local data. Dynamics 365 is fully integrated, which should address many of our challenges when we migrate to this new environment. We look forward to seeing how it performs in practice. The project is progressing well overall, though integrating it with other tools and ensuring Dynamics 365 operates smoothly can be challenging. Dynamics 365 is user-friendly and effective. However, a deeper understanding of its technical capabilities and architecture might be necessary to optimize its use fully. The software landscape is evolving, and achieving the best reporting and functionality with just a click can be complex. A clear vision of what you want to achieve with Dynamics 365 is essential. Proper preparation and configuration are crucial to achieving the desired outcomes. This principle applies not only to Dynamics 365 but to all software packages. Understanding the system's flexibility and adaptability based on your specific business needs is key to its successful implementation. Overall, I rate the solution an eight 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

"With the new versions, it has become very user-friendly. We have integration with mobiles, and we have cloud-based solutions. There are a lot of things that can be done by front-end users without technical knowledge. They can create reports without having to do any coding, and it's very good now."
"I have found the solutions best features to be financial procurement, inventory, and manufacturing."
"Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten, as it can be customized to the company's needs while maintaining best practices."
"It is easy to inquire about any account in our company."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne's most valuable feature is its one consolidated platform that runs all the different aspects of companies."
"I think it is strong in sales, inventory, and pricing."
"It is very straightforward to deploy and set up."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience, where you can create your own queries, it sends you alerts, and it's very flexible."
"I like Microsoft Dynamics' simplicity. The interface is excellent, and it's a highly mature product. You can hardly find any bugs in the product."
"The solution makes everything organized for my organization or enterprise. It makes workflows more than clear."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV is good for smaller-sized companies."
"It is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics NAV is brilliant and it's a different segment when comparing it with Dynamics AX. Dynamics AX is a larger product with much more features and it's aimed at a different segment of the market."
"The vertical covers all aspects of functionality and integrates easily with the existing Office products."
"It's quite reliable, and there's a good local provider who can adapt the solution for tax issues."
"Has good integration with Power BI."
 

Cons

"Lacking in certain areas of support."
"The flexibility of workflows and multi-industry implementation support should be improved."
"The way of creating daily reports could be made a little bit easier."
"They have been improving it every day, but it could have more automation."
"They have the interface with Hubble and other reporting, however, we just want that to be a part of JD Edwards."
"JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is more of a legacy solution because most of the competitors are or have moved to the cloud. It would be beneficial if there was a cloud version available. Additionally, the interface could improve."
"Treasury management is typically used in forex, loans, trade management and property management is not available. The solution could improve if they added them."
"EnterpriseOne's integration could be improved."
"The solution must provide more AI features."
"I would like to have more frequent updates."
"Since it's complex for a layperson user to understand the solution, it would be better if the solution provided some training resources."
"The initial setup of the solution was quite complex and the troubleshooting involved with that needs to be improved."
"I wouldn't say that Microsoft Dynamics is very scalable."
"I work in Pakistan, and many people want desktop solutions. They don't want to work on the cloud. They want a strictly on-premises solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see a quality check module - Navision doesn't have one, and the industry very much requires it."
"There is some network issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Upgrading projects can make JD Edwards EnterpriseOne costlier, so it needs cost reduction in this area."
"The licensing is for mid-market businesses, where it is cheaper than Oracle Cloud, EBS, or SAP."
"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%."
"EnterpriseOne is cost-effective for large enterprises."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing of this solution at three out of five."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is reasonable. We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"$80-$100 per license, per month."
"The cost is one of the benefits. If you don't want to go for the full-blown finance and operations, the pricing model is a lot cheaper and has now switched to being based on a per-user subscription. So, if it's on cloud, you now have an expense instead of a large CapEx. If it's on-prem, you obviously still have to continue with the licensing model that they have, but if you compare the features and functionality, in terms of the price that you pay, I find it's better than other products. My answer on the pricing would be slightly different, depending on the country you're in and the return on investment, based on the size of the company. It's well-priced internationally. I think the new model is priced even better because it's now subscription-based and, if you go for cloud, the return on investment is a lot quicker and if it's expense, you can cap it. If you do take the on-prem version, the licensing is still priced as what it used to be, so that would depend on what country you are in."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"Currently, the product offers a starting price of $70 per user per month, which provides access to the complete ERP engine. It is highly reasonable."
"The price of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is reasonable."
"Its licensing is yearly. In addition to the licensing cost, there is the cost of hosting on Azure."
